Perfect Soundbar for a Bedroom TV
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I added the Sonos Beam (Gen 2) to my bedroom TV and the sound upgrade is amazing. Dialogue is super clear and the Dolby Atmos makes movies and shows feel much more immersive even in a smaller room. Setup was quick with the Sonos app and the soundbar looks clean and modern under the TV. Great choice if you want big sound without a huge system.

Expensive, not enough for big rooms

Excellent sound, but app isn't android friendly
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this to pair with my new Samsung s95f and it works great, sound quality in my living room, with high ceilings, and voice clarity are better to my ear than the Arc. My only complain is that I had to break out my wife's iPad to calibrate the sound for the room since the app is not compatible with android phones.

Big sound - small soundbar
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this on a Black Friday sale to use with my 43" Sony Bravia TV that I have in a small living room. This is my first soundbar and after some research and going to BestBuy to listen to the ones on display, and compare the different Sonos models and also Bose soundbars I decided on the Beam 2. I bought this for a few reasons: the built-in TV speakers were hard to hear people's voices, and I also wanted a better speaker for movies, and a speaker to be able to stream music too. The Beam's sound is a massive upgrade from the Sony built-in TV speakers and ticked all the boxes I was looking for. Even with just the soundbar and no additional speakers, the Beam still gives the sense of surround sound with a wide expansive soundscape, and really crisp dialog and a really layered sound. It feels like a movie theatre quality sound to me, just watched the original John Wick in Dolby Atmos and it sounds incredible. Set-up was simple and I had it setup and paired to my Apple TV 4K in just a few minutes, just had to go into the TV and Apple TV's menus and change them to output sound to an external sound system. The remotes also all work with the Beam. Would definitely recommend.

Becoming A Sonos Family
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I went to the store with the intention of buying a soundbar of lesser quality. As I chatted with a salesperson he showed me the Sonos Beam. I fell in love with it. I brought it home and fell even more in love with it. The voice control is a great feature. I went back to the store and bought two of the Sonos Era Speakers and just last week I bought another Sonos Beam for my bedroom TV...The sound is awesome. Controlling them is easy and the set up was fast .

Sonos Beam (Gen 2) Soundbar, Great Buy!!!!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sonos Beam Smart Soundbar has been a great addition to my home theatre system. I have it paired with the Sonos Mini Sub and the two together put out exceptional audio. Whether listening to music or watching movies, the audio output from this device is second to none. I also love the Sonos smart app that is available to control the two devices, simultaneously. The functionality of the app, in unison with both devices, makes for an even better listening experience. I would highly recommend Sonos and their paired technology.

Sonos is a great sound bar!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the Sonos sound bar. Attached to the bottom of my television and makes everything easier. Love that I can also just listen to music when I want.

Great Sound, easy to install
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Install to our LG 4K 65 was real easy , the disappointing thing was that I had to use the Fiber optic adapter because the LG does have a HDMI ARC port, but does have a fiber optic port. Loading the Sonos app was easy and the app found the Sonos sound bar immediately. Walked through the setup, found one issue here too. The LG remote is note compatible with the Sonos Beam. But I can control the volume from the app or with our Amazon Alexa. I had the Beam playing 70 & 80s music from one of the Radio stations listed on the app, sound was awesome. Also found my favorite local sports radio station was on the list. Sound is on the LG TV is much clearer and watching movies and concerts is 10 times better now. I will be adding a subwoofer soon.

Great midrange soundbar
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Crazy good sound for an affordable price. Recently rewatched the LoTR extended edition and the soundscape blew me away. Easily set up my Samsung TV remote to control the volume of the soundbar so I dont have to rely solely on the Sonos App. No complaints and now I want to add more pieces like a subwoofer to further enhance the output.

Sounds amazing and super easy to set up
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently added the Sonos Beam Gen 2 to my living room setup, and it's been a fantastic upgrade. Right out of the box, the sound quality is impressive—rich, balanced, and immersive, especially for movies and shows with Dolby Atmos. Dialogue is incredibly clear, and it handles music just as well as TV audio. Setup was a breeze. I just connected the HDMI and power cable, opened the Sonos app, and everything synced up in minutes. The Trueplay tuning feature (if you have an iPhone or iPad) makes a real difference in optimizing the sound for your space. It’s compact but doesn’t feel underpowered. The virtual surround sound fills the room nicely, and it integrates seamlessly with other Sonos speakers if you ever want to build a full system. Pros: Clear, immersive sound with Dolby Atmos Compact and sleek design Quick and easy setup with the Sonos app Excellent for both TV and music Things to note: Bass is solid, but you might want to add a sub if you're really into heavy low-end Trueplay tuning only works with iOS devices

Good deal
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty awsome little speakers. Does everything I need. This high-end soundbar offers excellent sound quality and supports Dolby Atmos. It is also a great choice for those who want a soundbar that can be integrated into a Sonos multi-room audio system. However, it is on the expensive side and does not support DTS:X.

Sonos Has Taken Over and We Ain't Mad About It
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After a couple of years of being on the fence about whether to take the plunge on this mostly highly regarded soundbar, a proper open-box find made the expense far less difficult to swallow and, viola! Brought it home, hooked it up (easy-peasy), paired our two Play: 1 speakers as satellites, and did the Trueplay dial-in and, dang! Who needs a sub!? The amount of sound and the depth, range, dimension of sound from movies now is amazing. I've heard some surround sound set-ups before and they do sound pretty wild, this is somehow different. More intimate. This isn't our first time with a soundbar/sub set-up. In fact, we've had three different soundbar/sub setups over the past few years and they were ok. Much better than the tv speakers but only just. Now, small sounds emerge from the left or the right, causing me or my wife some uncertainty thinking the sound is something other than the movie. Honestly, neither of us are that experienced with this multi-speaker set up. However, it has grown on us to the point where we are less likely to think a murderer is in the house now. The turning point for my wife was an afternoon when she was at home by herself (me and the boys out on a weekend getaway) and she dialed up some music and sat and read while tunes bathed her in sonic comfort. She officially became a fan. I, a long-time two channel audio cat, am sold on what the Beam and the two satellite speakers do with movies. It's made watching movies - even movies we've seen many times - more exciting and fun. The music side is pleasant enough - more for the convenience than the actual audio quality. It's faithfulness to audio, or rather, enhancement of song and sound, is a wee bit much for me but I take a sip and relax and get over it. So, in short, after a few more Sonos acquisitions, our house has now become a full-fledged Sonos-fueled house and we are glad about it. Except for my office which is still two-channel British hifi only, thank you. Bravo, Sonos! Your stuff is pricey but, I ain't gonna lie, it's sexy.

Big, Immersive Sound in a Compact Package
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sonos Beam (Gen 2) is an impressive upgrade that delivers rich, immersive sound without taking up much space. Dolby Atmos really adds depth, making movies and shows feel more cinematic, and the dialogue clarity is excellent—even at lower volumes. Setup was quick and seamless through the Sonos app, and the ability to integrate with Alexa/Google Assistant is a nice bonus. It looks sleek, blends perfectly with my TV setup, and easily fills the room with powerful sound. If you want a premium, compact soundbar that brings both music and movies to life, the Beam Gen 2 is a fantastic choice.

Solid upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product. I've had a Beam 1 for several years and this is a nice upgrade. The Beam 1 performs perfectly fine still and is used in our bedroom. This Beam 2 is being used In our living room underneath a 65" Toshiba C350 Fire TV. That particular TV offers Dolby Vision and with this Beam 2 containing Dolby Atmos and a 5.0 offering, it made it a great choice to pair up. I have several other Sonos items in our house, this one synced quickly and flawlessly. I purchased this as an open item from a local Best Buy and got it for a really good deal. I would not spend $499 for this, given I also have two Sonos Arc gen 1's and they're now available for same/similar price as the Beam 2.

The little Beam that could
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Where do I even begin… this soundbar overdelivers in a small frame! I was a bit skeptical about the sound quality given its size, but wow — I was in for a big surprise. This thing sounds incredibly impactful, full, and elevated compared to others in the same segment. I picked this up because my OLED TV had terrible built-in audio, and dialogue was hard to distinguish. Once I connected this Sonos, everything changed. Dialogue is now clear and crisp, and here’s the best part: the Beam packs a punch with lower frequencies I wasn’t expecting at all. If you’re looking for a soundbar and are limited on space, look no further. This Beam has it all — dialogue enhancement, deep bass, and a room-filling soundstage. Plus, you can always pair it with a Sonos Sub down the line, which makes it an even bigger win.
