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.

Horrible app
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is good, quality of the sound bar is good as well but the App to connect i needs work, at times it drops the connection and navigating the App to reconnect take a bit of time and can be frustrating. I'm not an ameturer with comuters and gagets I've had many. So for that reason I can't recommend Sono speaker products.

Good sound, bad everything else.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device is…okay. It is really good music but you can’t pair with it via Bluetooth, which really sucks. That means to play your music you have to connect the app to your apps (Apple Music, Spotify, etc) and play through there. I experienced a bunch of issues with this, like the inability to see your smart playlists in Apple. We also used this sound bar to watch a movie and, while it added a lot of punch to the action, voices were almost impossible to hear. Had to keep playing that game of quickly turning it down when stuff got crazy and back up when people were talking. I can’t really recommend anyone get this. The speaker itself is great but I found the functionality to be super lacking.

Posted .Hi and thank you for the review. We're sorry you weren't happy with Beam. For the record, we do have a feature called "speech enhance". It's in the main play section next to the "previous track" button in the app. It looks like a little speech box. If you turn that on, it turns up just the center array of sound so that you can hear dialog better. We also support airplay 2 if you're using Apple music and want to use those playlist so you can use the interface you prefer and still enjoy through the Sonos Beam. We don't use bluetooth in our products designed for the home as wifi is the far superior experience when wifi is available. We hope this helps :)
Thank you so very much!!

Highly rated, but does not work.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This soundbar uses your cell phone instead of a remote. But it would not connect to my android phone. The soundbar gives a series of tones that are supposed to communicate a pin code to the phone. If that doesn't work, there should be a printed pin code on the back of the soundbar. Mine did not connect. I could not find the pin as it was printed in invisible ink with no hint as to where on the back I could find the code. The Geek Squad knew where to look and used his cell phone camera to read the dimly visible code. But the soundbar still would not connect. Sonos tried to sell a fancy overkill process and failed 100%

Posted .Thank you for sharing your experience, and I’m truly sorry to hear about the difficulties you encountered with the Sonos Beam Gen 2 and the frustrating setup process. We understand how inconvenient this must have been, especially with the inability to connect your Android phone and locate the necessary PIN code.
It sounds like the connection issue has been particularly challenging, and while the PIN code should be easily accessible, the difficulty finding it and the trouble with pairing are understandably frustrating. Here are a few troubleshooting steps that might help improve the setup experience:
Locating the PIN Code: While it can be tricky to see, the PIN is usually printed on a label at the bottom of the soundbar or in the device’s settings in the app. You can also try scanning the code with a flashlight or using your phone’s camera to make it more visible, as the Geek Squad did.
Reset the Beam: If the initial pairing process fails, try performing a factory reset on the Beam Gen 2. Unplug it from power, then hold the join button while plugging it back in. Continue holding until the light flashes amber, then follow the setup process again.
Alternative Setup via Ethernet: If the wireless setup continues to fail, try connecting the Beam Gen 2 to your router using an Ethernet cable during the setup process. Once it’s connected, you can switch it to wireless afterward.
Try Different Devices: If your Android phone is still not connecting, try completing the setup with a different phone or a tablet. Sometimes, using another device can help with the initial connection.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration this situation has caused. We want to ensure you’re able to enjoy the full benefits of your Beam Gen 2 without these barriers. If the issue persists, our support team is here to help with further troubleshooting at support.sonos.com. Thank you for your patience, and we hope to resolve this for you soon.
