Customer Ratings & Reviews

Incredible sound bar for a great price! Night mode and voice enhancement work extremely well. Good bass considering no subwoofer. Atmos works well without additional speakers. Obviously, you can add rear surrounds and a mini sub woofer, but not needed unless you like to shake the walls with booming sound (I hate that).

The Sonos Beam Gen 2 delivers clear dialogue, rich sound, and an impressive home theater experience. Dolby Atmos makes movies and shows feel more immersive, and the soundbar was simple to set up and connect. Its compact design looks great under the TV without taking up too much space. I’m very pleased with the quality and performance!

This is a beautiful soundbar as soundbars go. Setup and integration was a snap. You definitely need the subwoofer to feel the bass. It make a huge difference (the mini was fine for my purposes). The sound and vocals are crisp and clear. The app is fairly easy to set up and use and allows for a fair amount of customization of the sound. For the room I had this in (a kitchen) I was disappointed with the surround sound and Dolby Atmos sound. I even used the iphone app to customize it for the room. I replaced it with the Bose 600 and 500 bass module. I could hear the difference. Bose is providing a wider sound stage for me. I have found the Bose app and the connection to the TV a bit wonky, troubles I did not have with the Sonos. I do recommend the Sonos, but you need to listen to it in your room.

This is a good quality sound bar, with good sound a bass response. Once it was set up, it worked well with our TV connected to an Apple TV. There are a few reasons I didn’t give this unit 5-stars. 1. The set up software was clunky at best. One needs to download an App for a phone or pad of either variety to access the setup software. I have some experience working with confused Apps, but I don’t think my wife would have managed to figure out how to set it up. Luckily, once the setup and connection are complete, the App is really not needed. 2. As the unit goes to “sleep” after use, so there is a small delay in response before the audio starts. Start a video, and the first few moments of audio are lost until it wakes up. I expect that I could force it awake using the App, but it seems pretty daft to need to have my iPhone around to run an app so I can listen to a video on my TV. 3. The inputs are limited. I realize that a more expensive Sonos model would offer additional input methods. Just saying this unit has limited inputs. Ultimately we have learned to live with these issues and do enjoy the audio. Since it mostly works automatically, it is a LOT better than the previous sound system I had, which was a stereo receiver. Using that system required way too many steps to get things working. So it is recommended.

Sonos is the way to go for those looking for surround sound options without installing numerous speakers. The sound quality is excellent and no sound bar on the market can touch it. You can go even bigger with an Arc, but the beam gets the job done in any large room. Set up is simple through the app and you can even go optical in lieu of HDMI if your prefer.

I don't usually write reviews, but the Sonos Beam deserves all the praise. This soundbar is hands-down the GOAT of home audio. The sound is crystal clear, with deep bass, crisp highs, and perfect balance—whether you're watching movies, gaming, or streaming music. It fills the room with immersive sound without needing a massive setup. Setup was super easy, and the sleek design fits seamlessly into any space. I also love the smart features—Alexa integration, Apple AirPlay 2, and smooth connectivity with other Sonos products. If you're on the fence, don’t be. The Sonos Beam punches way above its size and price point. It's a game-changer. Best Buy, you nailed it with this one!

Easy to set up…really easy. Almost plug and play. Sound is good. Think you may want to add a small sub for deeper bass. If you can manage the additional cost one of the arc sound bars may provide a better experience. .

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

fantastic sound. sharp and clear. don't really need the base speaker, as the sound bar produces very good sound alone. very glad i discussed with sales personnel, as this was clearly a great choice.

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

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

This device gives you exactly what you pay for and I mean that in the best kind of way. Yes you can get a more expensive soundbar for a full movie experience but for day to day tv watching this sound bar works great. Be sure to utilize the app to adjust the speaker to your preferred settings. Out of the box settings were not great but after making adjustments in the app it works great. Also the connection through iPhone to play music anywhere in the house has been seamless as well. Overall I recommend if you are not looking for a speaker to provide a movie theater style experience but allows for great sound for tv, sports, and music.

The speaker sounds very good. I cannot believe Sonos does not use bluetooth (only wifi) and this is disappointing. Having to use the Sonos app rather than simply bluetoothing to the speaker to play music is annoying and the app is very clunky and for some reason does not like to play certain songs or stations.

Great soundbar and the best value in the Sonos lineup. I have a lot of Sonos products, but they cost a premium. You are paying for the app and the ecosystem, which the Beam fits into well. If you want the Beam for your main movie watching tv, you may want to add the subwoofer or wait for the expected smaller subwoofer, which is rumored to be coming out this year. On it's own, the Beam has decent bass, but doesn't compare to having the sub, which is a great sub. The Gen 2 is a step up in design and sound. It replaces the fabric grill, with a metal mesh, which is easy to clean. The Gen 1 fabric collects a lot of dust.

I was in need of a sound bar with minimal cords and came across this item. It's good for a medium-sized bedroom. I wish it had more bass but the sound is still clear and nice. I deducted a star because it is expensive. You can get a whole sound bar with side speakers at the price of this one sound bar but as I said I was looking for something with minimal cords so I paid the price. Outside of the cost this sound bar is great and I love that there are other speakers you can connect it to for purchase to customize to whatever sound you're looking for. I also love how easy it was to set-up and connect my tv and phone too. I do think that the ARC is tons better I went into the store and tested it but since I'm in an apartment it would be way too loud. I would recommend this sound bar for apartments or small/medium bedrooms definitely not a living room by itself.

This was installed in no time, and all the hardware for mounting was included in the package. The sound is great, and a big improvement over TV speakers. As an added bonus you can download their app and there are various radio stations if you just want to play music.

The sound quality is leaps and bounds better than the old Samsung bar I was using. Software is easy to use. Only issue is I have no ideas what the volume level is at until I open the app to see.

Amazing sound! Easy to set up on the app also bought the sub and within a minute it was all connected together.

Love the sound and control. Great size for my mantle. Multiple connection options allowed us to connect our curve TV without issue.

Bought this for our bedroom. Paired it with a 55” Sony Bravia OLED. Setup was easy and their app is amazing. I really love the way you can buy the sound bar and then add other components afterwards without having to purchase everything at one time. Sound is awesome and ability to link it to other Sonos sound bars in my house is also a great feature. Can’t wait to upgrade to an Sonos Arc sound bar in my living room.
