Customers are saying

Customers value the Beam (Gen 2) 5.0 Channel Smart Soundbar with Dolby Atmos for its unmatched sound quality, ease of use, and simple setup. The soundbar's compact size, impressive bass, and Dolby Atmos capabilities are also appreciated. However, some customers have reported occasional connectivity issues, and a few find the soundbar to be somewhat expensive and would prefer it to include a physical remote.

    When it works it is awesome but it drops connection to the TV every so often. I'll have to manually reconnect it again.

    Not best for Living Room

    It can the best soundbar ever for the bedroom, even larger bedroom such as your master. But this certainly not powerful enough for the living room even with Sonos Sub Gen 3 and Two Sonos behind my ear. I can’t wait till buy my arc. I bought it for the living room but it is not as loud as advertised. But, again should be good for the bed room.

    SONOS is just not reliable

    SONOS has a unique product, unmatched in its potential as it purports to simultaneously play the same music on all of the SONOS speakers connected to your wireless network. The trouble is, 50% of the time you go to play music, the SONOS controller app on the iPhone loses connection and can't control what is being played (can't control the volume either) or, 50-75% of the speakers you have connected do not show up as available. I have blazing fast wireless internet download speeds - is it that SONOS just can't keep up with wireless technology? I have a brand new WiFi 7 system, highly rated, works great. SONOS? I have 3 SONOS One speakers, 2 ROAM speakers, 2 MOVEs, an old Soundbar, a RAY and a BEAM. And I bought a Sonance outdoor system with an AMP for my pool. Again, consistently over 50% of the time the system does not work, and my wife makes fun of me for having spent as much money and as much time trying to play music on it. Oh, I mistakenly purchased a Victrola SONOS turntable as well. THOUSANDS of dollars for all of the potential but NONE of the execution/enjoyment. I have called SONOS tech support before, and although helpful a few years ago, tonight they accepted my online chat but then disconnected me. Tried to call the 800# and was told hold time was 40min. That is 40min way too long to spend on a technology that has never really worked very well. You should purchase an old multi-room receiver and run speaker wire to the rest of your house - that is reliable. SONOS is not.

    • Brand response from Sonos Customer Care
      Posted .

      Thank you for sharing such detailed feedback on your Sonos setup. We’re genuinely sorry to hear about the ongoing connectivity issues and frustrations you've faced—especially after investing in multiple Sonos products and aiming for a seamless multi-room experience.

      From what you've described, it seems that connectivity stability is a major concern. Although you've confirmed strong WiFi with an upgraded network, Sonos systems can sometimes encounter issues with advanced WiFi setups. For optimal results, here are a few suggestions that might help:

      Check Network Channels: Try switching your WiFi to a different channel, as network congestion can sometimes interfere with device connections.
      Reduce WiFi Interference: Other wireless devices can impact the signal. Positioning Sonos devices away from other electronics, microwaves, or thick walls may help stabilize the connection.
      Controller App Update: Ensure that both the Sonos app and the speakers are fully updated, as each update includes enhancements that improve device recognition and connection stability.
      We’re also concerned that your experience with customer support didn’t meet expectations, and we’ll make sure this feedback is relayed. Should you need further assistance, please feel free to reach out at support.sonos.com. We’d like to help make your Sonos experience truly enjoyable and reliable, as it should be. Thank you for your patience and for being part of the Sonos community. john.milton

    Hunter and Chris were perfect technicians. They were polite, efficient, and very knowledgeable. They worked with me to get the two TVs and the Sonos sound bar in exactly the right places. Their professionalism was excellent.

    service was excellent they came and got it done. Showed me how to use everything, but I have already forgot how to do half the stuff. You should have instructions for this new technology; I am way passed the curve on that stuff.

    Excellent Sound Quality, Seemless Integration

    I already had an existing Sonos surround system in the living room when I purchased this sound bar for my PC. Within 5 minutes, the Sonos app had integrated the bar into my current system and performed the setup automatically. For the smaller bar with no sub or supporting speakers, the sound quality is supreme. Vocal clarity in music and videos is incredible, sound is very crisp. I plan on setting up more Sonos throughout the house.
