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.

    DO NOT buy sonos products.

    The speakers sound good when the system works. S1 to S2 app: Most updates broke my multisspeaker system. Eventually, the only way to prevent this was to run an ethernet cable from wifi router in one room, up into the attic, back down into my bedroom. So much for a wireless system. Now the S2 app no longer supports my ios version. Nothing in S2 was updated or changed. Unless you’re ok buying a new smartphone just so you can keep using your overpriced speaker system, don’t buy into the Sonos hype.

    Sound great but there is an issue with the sound on the 4k Apple TV. Need to switch sound settings on the Apple TV to 5.1 stereo instead on leaving it on Dolby atmos for some of the tv shows or movies.

    DO NOT BUY!

    DO NOT BUY! My company, which supports IT, computer systems, etc. was hired to install this for a home user client of mine. Was an absolute night mare! after over 90 minutes if setup time and updates, the system would work if it wanted to. Very unreliable, painful setup. Not a dependable unit. After calling Sonos tech support, we reset units and reinstalled and then was a new problem. We boxed it up to return to bestbuy as this is the worst system my company and I have ever touched!

    This product is great…when it works. Sonos connectivity issues are rampant and their new app is beyond awful. I spend 20 minutes trying to get my system to work every time I want to play music. Beyond frustrating. I would not recommend Sonos to anyone.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback about the Sonos Beam (Gen 2). We sincerely apologize for the frustration you've experienced with connectivity issues and the challenges posed by the app. We understand how inconvenient it is to spend so much time trying to get your system to work, especially when you just want to enjoy your music.

      Your experience is valuable, and we want to ensure we address your concerns. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try to improve connectivity:

      Wi-Fi Network: Ensure that your Beam is connected to a stable Wi-Fi network. If possible, place your router closer to the speaker or use a Wi-Fi extender to improve signal strength.

      Firmware Updates: Check for any firmware updates for your Sonos products through the app. Keeping your system up to date can resolve connectivity issues.

      Reboot Your Devices: Restart your Sonos system, router, and any connected devices. Sometimes, a simple reboot can resolve connectivity problems.

      App Reinstallation: If the app continues to be problematic, consider uninstalling and reinstalling it to refresh its performance.

      If these steps do not alleviate the issues, we recommend reaching out to our support team for further assistance. Your feedback is important to us, and we’re committed to improving your experience with our products.

      Thank you for your patience and understanding, and we hope we can resolve these issues for you soon. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out at support.sonos.com. john.milton

    Great range. Love this speaker. Delivers plenty of sound effects during movies and it is good for rock music.

    Poor customer service and quality

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Purchased 16 months ago worked well then randomly would not connect to anything. Tried resetting several times and called customer support and followed hard reset instructions. When everything failed they wanted me to send back the equipment and give me a 30% discount code for a new purchase. The sound bar did not last 2 years and they want it returned so they can refurbish and sell again while only giving me 30% off to buy another one of their products that will only last 16 months? I would not recommend Sonos.

    Cool System, BUT

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Its a very good system, WHEN IT WORKS. Have had this combined with Sonos Sub Mini for 5 days and have had to unplug devices 3 times already as it seems as if the Samsung S90C and Sonos do not jive. At this price point these systems should work without issue. On with support right now, but this $1,000 purchase will be returned if it cant be resolved.

    Sonos beamed right back to Best Buy.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Worked for 3 months. Then my Sony A80J could not connect to it. Message was system unavailable. Best Buy Techs were great tried to solve the problem. Two separate visits by two different techs and over 2 hours of trouble shooting and the problem was not resolved. They even brought a new unit to try and nothing. In my opinion and from my experience with Sonos support and the Sonos Beam Gen 2 ,it really is an inferior product in comparison to some of the other options available to you.
