Lots of BOOM from such a small box.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I spent countless hours trying to decide which soundbar would be perfect for my bedroom and I settled on this one. My first Sonos Product so I approached with caution, I'm glad to say I was not disappointed. The Sonos Beam 2 comes packaged in a simple yet hefty box, very protected. It comes with an HDMI cable (to connect to your HDMI Arc/eArc connection), an HDMI to Optical conversion plug and the Power Cable. The Beam Gen 2 is quite a beautiful and sleek looking soundbar that would fit into any modern setting. Once mounted to the wall (with the help of the Sonos Beam Mount) Setting it up was simple enough (requires an App and preferably an IOS device). You will probably need to fiddle with your TV sound settings to actually get Atmos Out of this soundbar (if supported by your TV). Overall a terrific purchase (Especially during Black Friday). Again, my first Sonos Product but will definitely not be the last!

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great surround solution for the money especially if you can’t install rear channel speakers. Dolby Atmos is very impressive but regular 5 channel is good as well.

Sonos Beam (Gen 2) - The Ultimate Soundbar with Vo
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently purchased the Sonos Beam (Gen 2) in black, and I have to say, I am absolutely in love with this soundbar! The setup was incredibly easy, and within minutes, I was able to start streaming my favorite music and movies with incredible sound quality. One of the things I love most about the Sonos Beam (Gen 2) is the voice control feature. It allows me to control my music and TV with my voice, which is incredibly convenient and easy to use. The sound quality is also top-notch, with deep, rich bass and crystal-clear highs. Another great feature of the Sonos Beam (Gen 2) is the ability to connect it to other Sonos speakers in my home for a truly immersive sound experience. And with the ability to stream music from a wide range of services, I never have to worry about running out of content to listen to. Overall, I would highly recommend the Sonos Beam (Gen 2) to anyone looking for a high-quality soundbar that is easy to use, packed with great features, and delivers incredible sound quality. It's definitely worth the investment! 5 stars all the way!

Using soundbar for PC Gaming setup:
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great Sounding Soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

4 STAR Excellent Soundbar!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had the Sonos Beam 2.0 & Mini Sub for 2 months now. Bought it during the Christmas sales. I wanted a small footprint & got awesome sound for my Sony OLED TV. Dialog from tv is very clear. Watching 4K Ultra HD bluray action packed movies with Dolby Atmos is great! Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because no Bluetooth connectivity to play my mp3 files. Hoping in 2026 maybe Sonos will release a Beam 3.0 with Bluetooth. I know the Arc Ultra has Bluetooth but I tested that soundbar but didn't care for the way it sounded so I returned it. It's made for larger rooms which the room I have is small/medium size.

Best bang for the buck!
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Already have several Sonos devices in diff spaces throughout my home (Amp, Arc, Subs, SL ones etc) which sons no longer living at home loved. Due to the fact that they live in smaller spaces I purchased Beams for both to upgrade their more basic sound bars. I was so impressed by the AMAZING SOUND coming from this (comparatively) small bar. Such a good value! (Esp if you can get it open box or on sale.) Super easy setup, even the most tech challenged can do it in minutes! A few of the best features.... Has Airplay Can stream ANY audio to it (not just TV audio) Can control it via Alexa Can control it w/your existing TV remote Has Trueplay (which allows one to maximize the best possible sound for the room/space it's in. Though fyi- via iOS only, )

Weeks of research led me here and thankfully so
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Impressive soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very dynamic soundbar. Very immersive sound. Easy to connect surround speakers to the sound bar. Never expect it to sound so good compared to a traditional surround sound reciever. I really enjoy listening to it.

Wow! The first Sonos speaker that impressed me
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have never been a fan of Sonos speakers due to lack of base without $700+ for the sub. I’ve always considered them over priced for what you get but this Beam (gen 2) was a pleasant exception. I like lots of base so wasn’t thinking this would work. After listening in store. I was impressed! Perfect amount of base with a nice balance between low and high frequencies. I wanted a premium sound experience in my office as I work from home. Wanted to be able to listen with my iMac, iPhone, tv, and streaming services. This fit the bill great!!! Wonderful rich, clear sound from all three. If I were to take a star away it would be due to problematic google assistant integration. Right now, I can only change volume if listening to YouTube music (or other services externally sourced) with my smart tv as the sound source. I was hoping I could turn tv on and off and pause with voice commands but either im not able to figure out how to configure it correctly or it’s just not integrating well. Regardless, the sound is so amazing that Im willing to overlook that issue. Also, no instructions in the box. To setup, had to go online and search for setup instructions, which was simple enough.

Beam me up, Scotty
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We took the Sonos plunge 4 years ago, starting with the OG Beam in the master bedroom. An Arc, Sub 3, OneSLs, and a Ray followed. Our oldest has an older TV with dime-size speakers. Awful sound, especially for movies. So, they got the Beam 2 (resisted the urge to swap for our OG model!) for Christmas, and the reviews are in; “wonderful, even at default settings” and “now we can actually HEAR what we are watching” Helped with setup…took 5 minutes. And it does sound SO much better than TV speakers. Sonos for the win.
