    No Bluetooth so that was disappointing. Sounds good, definitely recommend the subwoofer too.

    Love the Beam gen2 now that is has dolby atmos. It doesnt replace the Arc but for secondary rooms it is awesome. You can also expand the ecosystem if you want to get the most out of it. Simple set up and major improvement. This is my second Sonos bar. once you get a Sonos there is no going back!

    Sound is very comparable to a Bose sound system. My only gripe is the volume goes down to nothing when you pause a show for 10-15 minutes.

    Sonos Beam (Gen 2) - is Great !!

    The new Gen of the SONOS BEAM is Awesome, well the previous models are great too. Since my space to watch TV is very small the Sonos Beam is the perfect sound bar. The sound is great, the bass is great and using the Sonos app you can add the One Sonos surround speaker and that would be the perfect match. Make sure you do the tuning using the Sonos app. Overall the Sonos Bean is a great option, I know id not cheap but the sound is great from such a small sound bar.

    Sonos Beam (Gen 2) is a good mid-range soundbar for small to medium-sized rooms. It’s not bulky and setup is very simple. It is perfect for my 55-inch TV and will consider adding the Sonos Sub Mini in the near future.

    I was impressed with the overall sound but it was a bit pricey $$$. Upon setting up the device i realized there's no on/off button nor a physical remote control, i had to use my phone as a remote which is a pain especially when you'd like to put the phone away, chill and watch a movie. The very next day the device didn't recognize that it was connected to my television, so i called tech support and they told me it was a bad HDMI cord. WRONG! The device suddenly started to play after a few hours, so id say that is definitely a connectivity issue. I was also told you could pair the device with your smart tv w/o a HDMI or optical cord. WRONG AGAIN!! It does not do what other soundbars do in this price range. WEIRD! After all these things happened I was no longer feeling it. IT'S A NOGO'S FOR SONOS

    Have this connected in my bedroom with a 48 inch LG B4 OLED tv. Sound is amazing especially the bass. You also get so much features with the app like sound customization and the ability to stream music from the app as well. Setup was easy as well. Definitely worth it if for a medium to small sized bedroom.

    It works wonderfully in our bedroom - even without the woofer! Love that it can either run off your phone or one of your existing remotes - which you’ll have to if you have an older phone that cannot update beyond OS 16.7.14.
