I am using the the soundbar in a Gaming PC setup paired with an LG C3 42" TV. I find that products geared for home theater usage generally perform better than computer designated counterparts. Since the LG C3 is technically a TV I set the soundbar up as I would in a home theater using E-arc. The Sonos Beam has decent sound and destroys computer designated soundbars in both features and sound quality. The compact size of the beam allows it to neatly fit under my computer tv/monitor stand on my desk. I would highly recommend the Beam if you are looking for something to enhance your gaming experience and have the tv/monitor to accommodate it.

Love this soundbar! Easy to use once installed. The app is where you do all of the adjustments. Very simple gives great sound

Only had to take some time to spend connecting it and updating but once it was completed, everything was smooth sailing. Perfect for a bedroom, or even a small-medium living room. The highs are great and register very well, the speech enhancement mode is a life changer when you want to stay at lower volumes. The lows sound very great, despite me not having a subwoofer yet, this helps by being able to hit a wide range of sounds so it doesn’t so “hollow” like some other all in one soundbars I’ve had. The mids sound phenomenal, playing music, watching movies, or even playing games, the 5 channels lets me hear directional audio better than other soundbars.

I already had the Sonos Arc, mini-sub, and Ones in my living room for almost a year before I decided to buy a new tv for my master bedroom. I went with an LG OLED 65" and soon after, I realized our old Yamaha needed to be replaced. Decided to go with the Beam 2 and though it's certainly not as powerful as the Arc, it more than does the job in any sized bedroom. Watched a few episodes of Chicago Fire and PD, and voices were crisp. I had set the Beam to night mode, so it quieted the bass from my neighbor upstairs. The Beam has decent bass for rumbles and music, but if you're looking for more, you can easily add a subwoofer. What I love about Sonos, is that you can listen to music in multiple rooms. On my WFH days, I often play music in my kitchen/living room and go back and forth to where my home office is set up in the bedroom. I plan to add some Era 100s too, so when i'm not in the mood to sit in a home theater in my living room, I can get that same effect from the bedroom.

The Sonos Beam is a versatile soundbar that combines impressive sound quality with smart features and a sleek design. While it may not be suitable for large home theaters, it’s an excellent choice for smaller living spaces. If you’re looking to elevate your audio experience without breaking the bank, the Sonos Beam is a solid choice.

Got the Beam just a few days ago and it is awesome! It’s a lot smaller compared to the arc but is prefect for my 65” TV in a average sized room in the basement. The bass coming from it is amazing. Then I messed with the EQ and turned on voice enhancement, plus calibrated it to the room using Trueplay and I couldn’t be more impressed. At first I bought the Bose 900 sound bar for $899 and was not impressed. I returned it and got the Beam and at half the price of other sound bars, the Sonos Beam is perfect! By saving money and getting the Beam, I can add on and get the Sonos subwoofer and rear speakers.

Wry easy to set up and sounds great. Intend on adding to a whole house system, using the base system that goes with it.

After a lot of research on Sonos products I purchased the beam for my living room with a mini sub. The beam is awesome. Some would enjoy it without the sub. 100% better than tv speakers. My living room is a secondary room to watch tv. I have an Arc on order and will likely get the era 300 and sub 4 setup for my family room. But the beam is legit. Set up was a breeze.

small, compact, loud, good value! I also have 2x 100 Speakers !

The Sonos Beam (Gen 2) is a phenomenal soundbar that combines style, exceptional sound quality, and user-friendly features. It has truly transformed my home entertainment experience, making it a worthy investment for anyone looking to elevate their audio setup. Whether you're a cinephile, a music enthusiast, or just someone who wants better sound for their daily viewing, the Sonos Beam (Gen 2) is an outstanding choice. Highly recommended!

Booooom.... This surround bar is amazing. We upgraded from our TCL bar for the living room tv after buying a new house and it came with a Sonos surround set up for the bedroom tv. The wireless subwoofer has such amazing bass and literally makes the couch shake. Very easy to set up and get working. Do not wait. go out and buy one today!!

Coming from a really terrible Bose sounder experience. Sonos knocked it out of the park. Sound is incredible, great bass, audio is crystal clear. Very easy to set up, making it seamless like Apple. I am happy, wife is happy too :) We have it paired with (2) Sonos One surrounds which complete the experience. Also, I love the fact that they don't force you to buy a bundle - I have a black Beam and white surrounds which fade in more into the lighter colored walls. A+

The Sonos Beam was recommended by the Best Buy associate when we were purchasing our new TV. Initially he showed us a sound bar system by the manufacturer of the TV. I really wanted something with quality sound without having to have several speakers spread around the room. The 5 little speakers in this sound bar appealed to me. Additionally it could be mounted under the TV and also has the capability to add more speakers if we should ever want to. The sound is excellent. We did not realize when we purchased the Sonos Beam that it had the added features of voice control and compatible with Alexa to play music.

Researched soundbars for some time and this one generally was a top choice. We needed a bar only as we have a grabby kiddo, with a TV/media height that is in his reach, so too many cords and speakers are not an option. For some context we have what I would describe as a decent but not giant sized living room. Listened to several different bars before this one, including one at a higher price point ($369 on sale currently for the Sonos Beam 2) and the difference was clear, we couldn't get out of there fast enough with this one. Before tipping my hand, the Best Buy employee pointed us in this direction as well, further solidifying the choice. No it does not have Bluetooth but as explained to me that cuts the quality and would disable Dolby Atmos, and sound quality. Set up wasn't too hard, there is no remote so you must you use an app to set up but after a quick sound setting change on my LG OLED (2020 model) to HDMI arc (needed for this and similar soundbars to maximize their quality/filter dialogue) the TV remote works for the Sonos Beam 2 and now I have one less remote. Once all the updates were complete and I got everything going (15-20 minutes) I put on Top gun Maverick and what a difference from our old Vizio soundbar. We could hear each of the different individual sounds and it filled the room better than I thought a bar could. Once the characters began talking (have tested this on a few other movies/shows) we no longer had to toggle the sound up and down to hear people talk. It should be noted that the dialogue technology is available in a variety of similar soundbars but again, the sound for the price was unbeatable from what I read/saw. I later put on a little Halo and could hear old Master Chief walking around with clean sound that should make gameplay that much better. Lastly, its clear that as our kiddo gets older we will be able to add equipment wirelessly should we choose - sub, speakers and so on. Save yourself some time, if this is in your price range pull the trigger, you will not be disappointed.

Amazing I love the sound very nice and sleek. definitely would buy again.

I picked up the Sonos Beam along with two Era 100s and the Sub Mini for my bedroom, and this setup is absolutely perfect for the space. Just like my other Sonos gear, the packaging is sleek and well-designed, and the setup was quick and easy through the Sonos app. Everything connected without any hassle. The sound quality is incredible for a bedroom—the Beam delivers clear dialogue and rich detail, while the Era 100s create a great surround effect. The Sub Mini adds surprisingly powerful, clean bass that fills the room without being too much. Whether I’m watching TV, movies, or listening to music, this system makes everything sound better. Sonos really nailed it with this combo, and I couldn’t be happier with how it performs in a bedroom setup.

Great soundbar, Easy to set up. Slim profile. I’m happy with this purchase.

I have Vizio 2.1 and 5.1 soundbars on a couple of TV's in the house that I'm very happy with, but I opted to go with the Sonos Beam Gen 2 for my outdoor patio TV. And boy, I'm glad I did! The Beam is a great sounding soundbar. It has clean sound and adequate enough bass for me but eventually I will add a Sonos Sub Mini to really fill it out. The Beam integrates perfectly with all my outdoor audio systems, which includes the Sonance SGS 8.1 system, Sonos amp, Sonos Port music streamer, 50" Insignia TV, and a pair Polk Atrium 8 SDI speakers. I currently have three zones set up (pool, patio speakers, and patio TV) so I can listen to individual zones or all of them simultaneous for evenly balanced sound distribution throughout my entire 6700+ square foot backyard. Verified satisfied customer here.

This is the third Beam we've purchased for different rooms in our home and we own versions of almost all Sonos home theater products. eARC compatibility allows for one remote functionality with apple tv. Airplay support allows for drop in sound system/music without having to rely on Sonos app (which is okay and offers extra control but entails extra steps). We've found the Beam has the best over all sound quality for medium sized rooms at this price point and exceeds the performance of two current gen era 100s in stereo. One can achieve better sound with two current gen era 300s or Arc/Arc Ultra (and even better with sub) but either option would cost a few hundred dollars more. Probably would buy another if a need arises.

The Sonos Beam is a soundbar that has a small design but big sound. It is compact, easy to set up, and has excellent sound. It also has Alexa and multi-room music streaming. I have added sub-mini to the set-up.
