    Perfect Sound Quality

    Want great sound quality? Look no further! I have a medium sized living room, and this thing bumps! Not even full blast and thumping! I love the DobyAtmos effect as well. Movie nights just got better paring the mini sub and beam. And when the night is right, we love to turn up the music and dance and sing the night away. Sonos is perfect for every home!

    Best standalone sound bar bang for the buck!

    Great sound and easy to use. If you are looking for a great standalone sound bar that won't disappoint out of the box and you can add to later, this is it. The iPhone App to tune it to your room is a great feature as well. The Android app seems to have everything except that one incredibly useful feature. If your TV is mounted on a full motion mount I highly recommend the Sanus mount for the Sonos Beam. Works and looks great! Paired mine with a 65" LG G3 Oled.

    This compact sound bar packs an enormous punch. Whether youre looking for more clarity in dialouge or a descent punch in bass for action scenes in your favorite moviea, this will do. You can definetoy get a better dolby atmos and bass experience from other bars/sets but this is something i would recomend to anyone looking at sound bars under $500.

    Great sound, poor Alexa comparability

    The sound quality is amazing but the “Alexa compatibility” is misleading. It can function as an Alexa but it does not support multi room music with other Alexas which is very frustrating. I have had it for 2 years and it’s held up great.

    Great sound bar. I wanted the arc for our RV too but I chose the beam! We currently have an array of Sonos products throughout the house and our business. The beam is outstanding especially when it comes down to space savings. It offers similar performance as the arc but in a smaller package.

    Alright, maybe I should have purchased the Arc. But this sounds leaps and bounds better than the TV speakers and the sound bar I had previously. Sonos has been going through a rough patch lately, but they're coming back and are the only game when it comes to seamless, wireless sound systems. Pair this with the Sub Mini for best results.

    You are in the store trying to decide which system to spend good money on, the best bang for the buck. Sorry, this isn't that type of set up. So what is good about the Sonos beam Gen 2 with the Mini-sub and 2 Sonos One SLs. 1. Easy to set-up 2. Crisp clean sounds 3. Flawless connection to the TV, no checking for input settings. 4. Sub-Mini has no rattle and the bass is unique, Very rich but not boomie. 5. The app makes it great to control and operate. 6. Great build quality, You get what you pay for. 7. Wide and dynamic sound ( soundstage) 8. Zero distortion even when the volume is at max What is bad about the system. 1. Loud but not loud enough when you step away from the area. 2. Atmos is not really present 3. Expensive system when you put it all together. 4. its not going to shake the house for the price you pay. 5. The Beam by itself is only good for a small area, Do not buy if it is going in a open concept space.

    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.

    This is an excellent sound bar! The sound is amazing for being so compact. I don't know how well it would fill up a large room, but for a small apartment its all you need. Was also really impressed with the amount of bass! Its all you need without breaking the bank!

    The Sonos Beam gen 2 is a perfect fit for my small family room, about 300 sq ft. It’s small, packs a punch (even without a dedicated subwoofer), it does a fair job emulating Dolby Atmos, and it doesn’t cost thousands of dollars. I highly recommend it and when you get it, please do not judge it after a plug and play. You must run the calibration from the iOS app. It is impressive how it adjusts to create a perfect sound based on the room dynamics. I only wish it had its own remote so I don’t have to do it from the phone, but is not a big deal.

    Overall this is a solid soundbar for it's size. I am happy with it's range of sound and I have had no issues with connectivity. I currently have the sound bar and mini sub paired with earc control. Setup was easy but I did have to update firmware on each device which took around 20 minutes all around. While it is a bit too pricey in my opinion, I would buy it again.

    Beautiful Soundbar/Depends on Room

    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.

    Sounds decent for bedrooms or a patio area. For sure needs to be bought with to play with a sonos sub or ceiling speakers to spread bass and treble in my opinion. Other then that yes a good quality sound bar

    This soundbar is excellent and really transforms the sound quality for movies. My only criticism is that it would be nice to have a remote still, so that my family could operate it easily when they pet sit/house watch. They barely know how to navigate to Netflix so getting them to download the app is a struggle.

    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.
