    I tried the sonos arc first but it was too large for my setup. The Beam 2 is just as good for small to medium sozed setups at half the price. Sounds great and easy to setup

    Bought this with the matching subwoofer for my husband as a gift. He was so happy. Apparently his read about this brand. I had no idea. I almost bought a Sony system for him but, the design on this device and the subwoofer were so unique and futuristic looking I loved it for him. Also the sound is phenomenal. He was so excited when I surprised him He was super excited explaining to me that we could purchase more of the Sonos speakers and they would all be in sync. You can continue adding and have sound anywhere on your property. No matter how large your property. I had no idea but that fun fact has me wanting to put more of the Sonos around the house. Is worth the buy. It’s beautiful to look at and to experience.

    [Employee of bestbuy] 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.

    Sonos Beam Gen 2 for condo

    I researched extensively the best sound bar for my new LG C5 65-inch tv, listened to sound bars at Best Buy, and received advice from sales people. I had decided on this unit as the best for my living room on first floor of condo unit, as it couldn't have booming bass, and I needed vocal clarity without high volume. I was delighted when this bar went on sale and immediately purchased it and have been extremely happy with it since. Great product!

    Sound quality is what drew me to this specific Soundbar, but I’ve found myself using it to casually listen to music just as much as for watching TV, movies @ sports games. Would recommend to anyone!

    I live in a townhouse and the sound on this Beam Gen 2 sounds amazing. Movies are incredible, music sounds great. Im surprised how big the soundstage sounds for such a small Soundbar. I know some people complain that it is not loud enough, that could be that your channel input is set on stereo instead of dolby 2.0 or dolby atmos. I had that problem and once I changed the channel the sound doubled in loudness. Also I love the nightmode feature where it surprises the loud sounds, I have next door neighbors and like that I can still watch movies without having to disturb those around me. I think this Soundbar is great for a small to medium size living room, its plenty loud for me and I never go above 50% volume since its plenty loud enough without shaking the walls.

    The Beam 2 was very easy to setup and the TV and streaming music sound in our living room is now amazing! We have an LG 4K TV that seamlessly integrated into the Beam 2 and our CATV provider. The only issue is we haven't figured out how to get the volume level to appear back on the TV screen when we adjust it. Full disclosure, we already had owned a Sonos Amp which was driving a pair of (non-Sonos) indoor ceilling speakers in our living room, but only for streaming audio services via our cell phones (no TV connection). So we purchased the Beam 2 to integrate with Amp and those spreakers, as rear surround sound speakers, and after a couple of tried, we got it to work, and it's amazing.

    Quality is simply lovely, design is awesome. Sound is perfect. I think is the best purchase that I ever made in my life with sound bars. I was trying with Bose and Harman Kardon and the quality was good enough. When I switch to the Sonos Beam the feeling is totally different I love it.

    Sonos Beam 2,Era 100,Mini Sub System

    System installed in an open area family room adjacent to a kitchen and nook area. Family Room 20’x16’. Essentially, plug in, follow intuitive app install instructions & learn the easy to follow instructions to play the system from the TV E-Arc connection & your favorite streaming app. Immersive, high end audio experience. Buy bigger & more expensive if you want to. I took the minimalist approach for the white decor, size & decor. The appearance & audio experience not only met my expectations, but far exceeded them. I tried the Era 300 for the room size. The speaker footprint looked out of place and the audio was overkill for what I wanted for this room. Of Note: I use the Era 100 as surround sound speakers. You can adjust the audio level for music and TV in the surround audio setting. Go to the sound section for all the audio settings & have at it to your liking. Lots of questions about the Beam E-Arc cable to the TV (me: LGC1 65”) cutting out the use of Bluetooth headphones (For me: AirPod Max) connected to the TV. My solution: from the Beam, connect the male end of the hdmi cable, not to the E-Arc port of the TV, but to a 2nd hdmi cable that is female on one end and male on the other. Get the length of your choice. Plug the male end into the TV E-Arc port. I taped the cord mid level on the back left side of the TV with plenty of length & slack on the female end. Insert the beam male end into the female end and subsequently received immediate Sonos Beam connectivity using the TV & music app. With the TV in the off position, I reach around inches to the rear left side of the TV, pull on the connected hdmi cords & disconnect them. The cords remain within inches of each other for later reconnection. With the E-Arc cable unplugged, the TV resorts to its audio and bluetooth settings. This allows me to watch movies after hours, using the bluetooth headphones. After movie watching, I turn off the TV, take 10 seconds to reconnect the cables and I’m back online with the Sonos system. Remember, it’s TV E-Arc enabled devices sending audio over an hdmi cable to home theatre sound systems (ie Sonos systems.) Hope this is helpful for someone out there.

    Best all around sound bar for medium sized rooms.

    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.

    I bought this soundbar for my new Sony bedroom tv . It sounds fantastic. Has a lot of bass, if you use the equalizer with the Sonos remote app on your phone. I am all about the bass. For the bedroom this soundbar is fantastic. I have the bigger more expensive Sonos one SL speakers , Playbase with Sub in my family room which is like being in a movie theater. Though i don't like the fact that Sonos aren't bluetooth the fantastic sound is worth the trade off. I went from Bose to Sonos. I would never go back to Bose. Love the sound. I highly recommend this Beam 2 for smaller rooms. Pricey but worth it. Need better instructions for setting them up . Took me over 3 hours to set them up . I purchased open box with no instructions. Found manual on line but was still a pain to set up for me !!

    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.
