    I like the sound I am getting from the Sonos. I like that the soundbar is small and lots of volume.

    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.

    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.

    The GOAT of Sound – Sonos Beam Delivers Big

    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!

    The Sonos Beam Gen 2 is just what we needed to get better sound from our tv shows and movies. We previously had surround sound equipment set up but it all was just a bit much for our small living room. The Sonos Beam won’t take the place of a complete setup but it won’t disappoint either if you are looking for minimal equipment with great sound. If that is what you are looking for this sound bar won’t disappoint!.

    I have been thru several sound bars looking for the best one. I bought a Sony that was okay and moved it too my children's tv after I purchased the Sonos to try on my tv. I love the sound quality on audio and music! it is Top Notch! You will eventually wish you had a sub woofer- that I have been told you can easily add afterwards. But in the mean time (as I have no more money to spend, I have children) The Sonos Beam as a stand alone without a subwoofer outperforms the Sony with a sub for clarity and great overall depth of sound. I would highly recommend it! Set up was easier than any other sound bar I have purchased and paired with my Sony Tv really well. Other sound bars I tried (samsung and LG) did Not pair with my Sony and geek squad took them back and gave me the Sony sound bar that worked with the Sony tv. Morale of the story is that you need to either buy the same name brand sound bar as your tv to get it to work or by a SONOS!

    Wow! The first Sonos speaker that impressed me

    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.

    Living in an apartment, I wanted a soundbar that could give me a movie theater experience without disturbing the neighbors. This is the perfect bar for that (or for those in small houses) as it delivers excellent audio while not being too much. The Sonos technology scans the room to optimize sound output and I swear this one bar sounds like surround sound sometimes. Paired it with the Sonos mini sub and it is an excellent combo.

    I bought this as an upgrade to my home theater. I previously had a PLAYBASE as a receiver, but the Beam's Dolby Atmos capability really attracted me...and boy, does it deliver on its promise (be sure, though, that you do the Trueplay tuning BEFORE you start diving into any content.) Setup was a cinch, and within 15 minutes I was up and running. Since incorporating the Beam the sound quality has improved tenfold, even on the ONEs and the SUB, and there's an unbelievably immersive experience when watching films that support Atmos capabilities. I highly recommend this product to anyone wanting to experience a quality product that also generates high-quality sound.

    The moment I installed the new Sonos sound bar my ears went on a journey I'd only experienced in a movie theater. Music and voices came alive and and felt totally integrated with the action on the TV screen. But it did't stop there, it also seems to enhanced the quality of the colors and tones coming out of the TV. I had to pause and pat myself on the back for my choice!

    The Sonic Beam Gen2 has a great sound, and the bass is better than expected. I don’t really notice a big jump with the addition of Dolby Atmos, but the sound is true and accurate. The setup was quick and easy, and the control through the Sonos app is excellent.

    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. .

    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.

    Good sound, clunk App

    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 Beam (Gen 2) - A Very Satisfied Customer.

    We were looking for a soundbar for our living room TV. The advisor showed us the Sonos Beam (Gen 2) with Dolby Atmos. The difference in the sound quality of the Sonos Beam compared to that of the less expensive brands was immediately apparent. The dialog was much clearer at all volume levels, and the features available on the Sonos Beam far outclassed those of the other sound bars we previewed. The Sonos Beam is a bit more expensive than other sound bars, but in this instance, the additional cost is well worth it. You won't be disappointed in this quality addition to your entertainment center. We were so pleased with the performance we later purchased a Sonos wireless speaker to complement the Sonos Beam.

    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
