Customers are saying

Customers value the Beam (Gen 2) 5.0 Channel Smart Soundbar with Dolby Atmos for its unmatched sound quality, ease of use, and simple setup. The soundbar's compact size, impressive bass, and Dolby Atmos capabilities are also appreciated. However, some customers have reported occasional connectivity issues, and a few find the soundbar to be somewhat expensive and would prefer it to include a physical remote.

    I kept going back and forth between the Sonos Beam and the Sonos Arc. Honestly, for a 20ft by 20ft room, the beam did a great job! Its good enough for general tv viewing. When you wanna watch movies using it, it still does good but if you add the mini-sub, it provides an even better experience. But, as a stand alone, it does better vs any other stand alone soundbar I've used and I've used a lot!

    The sound is better than I expected. The bass is very pronounced. The mid range is extremely clear. I would recommend this over every one I listened too.

    Doesn’t play well with an Alexa smart home

    Starting with the positives and then working my way to the worst… Fit and finish is great. Very minimalistic. Easy setup as a sound bar. Good sound for a medium or small room, but have to crank it up for a 23x25 room. Has a couple weird quirks with volume control. One is that it reduces sound back to zero when pausing streaming TV and slowly builds it up when you resume play so you miss a couple seconds of audio when you resume. Second is that certain streaming services like HBO had great volume disparity with others. My old surround sound receiver would need a volume adjustment but at a smaller degree. 35 needed 42 for the same level between other streaming services and HBO. This is 45-68 on my setup with the Beam. The worst feature is Alexa. It works great as a stand-alone Alexa decide but integration with an Alexa enabled smart home is useless. I had Alexa decided in every room that would play everywhere or downstairs as a group. The Beam shows up as a Sonos integration but cannot be grouped for multi room use through Alexa. So it was either my kitchen and dining room Alexa speakers or the living room. Selecting one would disqualify the others. Completely useless. Tons of negative reviews in the Sonos skill in the Alexa app that you might want to check if you are thinking of integrating into an Alexa home. If I had to guess it is because Sonos only wants you to use Sonos speakers in each room to have a speaker group, and not be able to intermix with other manufacturers. If you don’t use Alexa or can afford to outfit your entire home with Sonos then this is still probably a good product. I cannot speak for Google Assistant use at all. I have an Alexa centric smart home with about 50 devices for frame of reference.

      Hi, and thank you very much for taking the time to write a review! We're sorry for the experience you're having with your Beam. In regards to the volume slowly turning up after pause, this is because of the way some tv's pass audio through HDMI. There may be a setting within your tv that allows you to change this, as that's not a native feature built into Beam. As far as the audio increments, it's possible that the tv is what control that as well, however to be sure we would love it if you'd consider reaching out to us as we offer lifetime support on our products. If you head to sonos.com/support you can contact us whichever way you prefer. - Amazon issues are usually caused by an account discrepancy between our app and the Alexa app, however grouping Amazon speakers with ours is not possible as we use proprietary technology to ensure a strong signal and low latency. We hope that we can work with you to make amends in the areas you feel we fall short. john.milton

    The Sonos Beam is a great speaker. While not as powerful as the Sonos Arc, this speaker still fills the room and sounds great. This is a more affordable option for those looking for crystal clear sounds on in the Sonos ecosystem.

    A great speaker to enhance a flat screen tv's speakers, which are typically located in the back and facing the wall. The speaker has more mid-range than bass but enough for a tv speaker.
