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.

    This soundbar is great and sonos crushed it with the way they integrate all of the apps into one simple easy to use SONOS app.

    I’m 77yrs old and looking for voice sound clarity. My set up below 1. New Samsung 55” Neo Q90B w/eARC 2. Used quality eARC 2.1 cable. 3. Set TV to eARC 4. HDMI-CEC turned on 5. Used “Trueplay” on Sonos app room calibration 6. Apartment Living Room (Open to dining room) 15’x35’ 9 foot ceiling 7. WiFi Spectrum 8. Standalone soundbar. Nothing else connected. Comparison between TV speakers, and the Beam Gen2 is noticeable for my aging ears. I can hear vocal dialogue that I had to struggle with. Set up with fairly easy. . All in all set up with fairly easy. Just followed the instructions on my iPhone.

    Beware - Sonos update can brick unit - no support

    Although the sound quality is good even with fake Atmos, Sonos will not support the product if they brick it with a software update. I had the Beam Gen 2 for about 2 years and generally enjoyed it. However, one day I noticed the sound went back to TV output and the Sonos Beam was flashing a white light. This was due to a failed firmware update issued by Sonos. Standard procedure of connecting by ethernet and trying the factory reset (this does not actually factory reset) did not work. Even though this was Sonos' fault, they would only offer a small discount to buy a new unit and would not fix or replace the existing unit. I was a fan of Sonos, but will no longer buy or recommend their products with poor support and this year's bad app experience.

    Worth the money. Greatly improved sound that’s more than enough for my home game room. When tested it achieved 77-78 decibels. Will definitely be adding the sub in the future.
