Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the product's exceptional sound quality, noting its clarity and bass, along with its ease of use. They also appreciate its compact size, simple setup, and appealing design. However, some users have experienced occasional connectivity issues and find the product to be on the pricier side. Other concerns include limitations in volume output, the absence of Dolby Atmos support, and the lack of a physical remote.

    I contemplated buying this vs. the Sonos arc. Sound isn't bad, but for a few hundred more, I'd stick with the arc.

    I love Sonos. I have so many Sonos speakers I’ve lost count. This purchase was a Xmas present for my daughter and her new apartment. I’m sure it will be the first of many for her as well. And Best Buy is exactly that — the best!

    Unfortunately I had to return the Sonos Beam. Very confusing steps to connect the Beam with the online software. Gave up after five hours. Slick product, but you may need Geek Squad to get it up and running.

    When it was working it sounded great. Had to return it because it would disconnect from my TV every 3rd or 4th time my TV was powered up.

    The sound bar is great for movies but not for music. When listening to music, even using the sub, it seems like something is missing. So I returned it and bought the Arc. The Arc is much better for music as well as movies. And the Beam is too expensive.

    Buyer Beware

    Sonos has consistently made changes to their ecosystem that are not in the best interest of the user. Their latest app update is a prime example of this. It is an incomplete app that has broken many major features of their products. For example, you can no longer change the WiFi settings of their WiFi speakers. You can no longer adjust the alarms. The old alarms still occur, you just cannot change them anymore. See the forums for the entire list but you get the picture. I regret spending this much money with them. Denon would be a better choice in retrospect.

    This is the worse speaker system ever. I would NEVER buy this product again. The application sucks, the controls on top of the sound bar sucks. It worked well for a couple months and now ive been having connection issues ever since. It would connect and then auto disconnect. Do not waste your money. Its such an expensive sound bar and it foes not even work
