    Amazing sound and great differentiation of lower bass noises and higher sounds. We synced it with our other Sonos product and it plays musically layered songs with perfect tone. Highly recommended!

    Compact Yet Powerful: A Perfect Upgrade for An

    I recently upgraded to the Sonos Beam (Gen 2), and it has completely transformed my TV and music experience. For a compact soundbar, the performance is seriously impressive. Sound Quality: The standout feature is the clarity—dialogue is incredibly crisp, even at low volumes. Movies and shows feel more immersive thanks to Dolby Atmos, which creates a wider and more spacious soundstage. While it doesn’t have upward-firing speakers, the virtual Atmos effect still adds noticeable depth. Design & Setup: The design is sleek and minimal, fitting perfectly under my TV without taking up much space. Setup was super easy—just plug in the HDMI eARC and follow the Sonos app. Within minutes, everything was up and running. Smart Features: Love the built-in voice control (Alexa/Google Assistant) and AirPlay 2 support. Streaming music, podcasts, or radio directly without turning on the TV is a big plus. App & Customization: The Sonos app is intuitive and powerful. Features like Trueplay tuning optimize sound based on your room, and settings like Speech Enhancement and Night Mode are genuinely useful. Things to Consider: * No Bluetooth support (Wi-Fi only) * Limited ports (only one HDMI eARC) * Dolby Atmos is virtual, not true height-channel Atmos Final Verdict: If you’re looking for a premium, compact soundbar with excellent sound quality and smart features, the Sonos Beam (Gen 2) is absolutely worth it. It’s especially ideal for small to medium-sized rooms and anyone already in the Sonos ecosystem.

    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.

    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.

    The sound that comes from this smaller sound bar is really good!! I got it primarily for its clear dialogue capabilities!! I have a nice Atmos setup in my basement so I do not use it for sound effects!! I will say for its size it does do a great job!! I also purchased it when it was on sale for about 139 off!!

    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.

    A steal to get a Sonos at this price. Pure crisp sound. There’s also multiple wall mounts made just for this soundbar to float it. If your first Sonos, set up is very simple and the app is amazing. Easy to add additional Sonos products right to the app to have whole house sound. It allows you to add Pandora and other stuff right to the app which is fantastic. WiFi required.

    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 .

    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.

    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.
