    Nice bar. Clear sounds and has plenty of bass if needed. Clear sound and nice expanded sound if needed. We chose this one over the Bose. This unit does not have Bluetooth hookup but that's ok with us. You have to use the Sonos app to setup and adjust.

    I have never had a soundbar before. I bought a new TV. My first TV purchase in 10 years. I have never cared for a fancy TV till I saw the OLEDs. I just love their picture. However, it then seemed silly to not have good soundbar for the TV. You can only have so much sound from a TV. I read about sound bars but nothing replaces going to the store and listening. I was going to buy LG or some 3 channel sound bar. Well I left with the Sonos Beam instead. I certainly paid more than I thought but the sound was amazing for the size. If you love a strong bass then maybe not for you. It is plenty for me. I loved the Arc a bit more but it is also quite a bit more and with Sonos you are going with a system. You can add on to it quite easily and link the sound system throughout your house. You can easily Airdrop and sync everything. I did not think I would care about it until I could do this. It does not have Atmos but it sends sound up still (not as well as the Arc but decent). The App works great and you use it to calibrate your room to your beam. This helps improve sound quality. I know because I forgot to do this first day. If you love an overpowering bass this is not for you. You can add one of their speakers that does this (not a cheap speaker). The Arc also has the bass. The sound is really quite wonderful for its low profile. I am happy with this purchase (even if I spent more than I intended) and will add more speakers in future as it is so easy to connect up and actually find their system to be nice bonus to listening room to room.

    Amazingly large sound from a compact bar. This things rocks. I have a Sonos arc and this is the arc in a smaller package. Wide wonderful sound stage clear and crisp dialogue. Even produce god bass without a sub, but when you add a sub this thing comes to life. Loud enough to fill a good size room. Competes with much higher and mote expensive sound bars for sure. Sonos works magic.

    after a few minutes of set up this beam is rocking. I love the ease of set up and how clear the sound is!!! I would certainly support this one especially paired with the mini sub and the two speakers.

    Have owned the Sonos Beam for a couple months now and I never heard such crisp and deep spunds and bass from any of my past sound bars. I’ve owned the Bose, LG, Vizio, and others but the Sonos takes the cake for quality. Well worth the money, their app is easy to manage on my phone, pc, and tablets. Can’t wait to add more Sonos products to the home theater experience.

    By far the best sound bar for an affordable price. Reviewed and listened to different products for weeks to test before we bought, and this product (paired with the subwoofer mini!) was far ahead of the others. Great price, room filling sound of high quality. Easy to set up with the app and pair to my tv, and we also love using it to play music while hanging around our house!

    I replaced two old TV sound bars with Sonos Beam Gen2. They are Super Easy to set up and the Sound is awesome. Such a big improvement. We can now hear what people are saying, It also connects to my iPhone and I play music through the soundbar and two separate speakers I have placed in other rooms. Robust! Awesome Sound!

    This soundbar is great! I was stuck between this one and another and i chose this one because it was slightly less. I am very glad i chose this one. It sounds great in my family room. My wife was super impressed and the kids said it sounded just like a movie theater. I definately reccomend this product!

    Perfect fir a bedroom, I have a tiny sitting area in my room, and I plugged this into my 65" Sony A95L and it increased the experience by 10x. It is perfect for smaller rooms; I have the Sonos Arc for my big 77" LG CX and that really complements that TV and larger living room size better. The Beam is not super loud, but if you really want to bump it up you can, it is loud enough. The Google features are cool as well. I got a big discount on my Beam so it was worth the bread, full price not so much.

    Best value in the Sonos lineup

    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.

    Amazing sound, terrible app/interface. Setting this up was simple, however utilizing the app afterword and juggling music and the tv system settings was not. If you don’t know what you’re doing be prepared to watch a few YouTube videos like I did.

    Sonos is not bad. This is my first sound bar. I was torn between the beam and Bose one. But after hearing demo in store. I grieviated towards the beam! Music sounded great on it. I've had a few hiccups with mine on the sound just quitting on me during a program, because it thought my smart device was on a different network. So, I've had to restart it several times a month, when I first got it. Which was a pain. Also, I didn't realize that the optical cord end piece had a cover on it, till I read some posts online about why the cord was always popping out of the tv.

    This is my second Beam and the iteration has really blown me away. Like all Sonos speakers, it's incredibly easy to set up, offers endless customization and sounds amazing. I have this in my office with the mini sub and a pair of One's for surround sound and it sounds just as good as a much more expensive system. The Dolby Atmos is incredible, voices are clear and it excels at playing music as well. I've had Bose and Sony sound systems and Sonos is top dog for me.
