Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the exceptional sound quality and ease of use of the Beam (Gen 2) 5.0 Channel Smart Soundbar with Dolby Atmos. Many appreciate its convenient size and straightforward setup process, while some find the price point to be a drawback and have experienced occasional issues with the mobile application. The soundbar's Dolby Atmos capabilities and bass response also receive positive feedback.

    Better than the movie theatre. Fit perfectly on a tv stand shelf - out of sight and well Within ear shot.

    We previously had a Bose soundbar. This Sonos is so far beyond the sound of the Bose it's not even comparable. We love this soundbar.

    The beam itself sounds great. Pairs up with the TV easily and is controlled by the remote for the TV. Adding surrounds and the subwoofer is also easy. We have enjoyed our Sonos speakers for over 7 years now. Would be a 5-star review if Sonos had not ruined their app two years ago. We really dislike the new Sonos app.

    Great sound. Replacing a Polk Audio speaker with subwoofer. Very happy with the quality of the sound. The speaker is very expensive though. Have to use a phone app the set up. Does not have a remote.

    I have a Sonos Beam in my bedroom mainly for playing movies and gaming with my PS5. Paired with the mini sub, this thing delivers! Excellent sound across all ranges and the mini sub brings the boom!

    This is a great soundbar for pairing with your tv, especially if you’re a movie fan like I am. The immersive sound really makes you feel as though you’re a part of every musical and Marky Mark movie—at least, that’s what plays at our house. Set up was simple and I love the different customization options available. Can’t go wrong.

    Good sound, relative to the price and for being a soundbar (a sub and even surrounds would definitely be the full experience, but for $500 this is a great all-in-one). Looks good and blends into the room. And really easy to set up and interact with!

    Underwhelming Despite All the High Ratings

    I love the design of this sound bar - it is compact and sleek (it fit perfectly on top of my small tv stand and did not hang over the sides). The sound bar also packed quite a punch considering how compact it is. However, I did not like how inconsistent the volume was across various platforms (i.e., devices and games). On one particular video game console, for example, I would have to play one game on a high volume and another game on a very low volume - this involved having to press the volume button on the remote more than 6 times in one direction and the same for the other. This discrepancy was not evident on my previous sound bar. The sound bar also does not indicate the volume number on the bar itself or on the television screen - so, this basically made adjusting the volume a guessing game and I’d find myself startled or underwhelmed when transitioning from one device/game to another. I previously loved having a numbered volume indicator because I knew how high or low I wanted the volume for each situation - for example, “9” on one game and “11” for another. Although you do get a volume indicator when using the Sonos app, it’s inconvenient that you have to boot up an app on your phone and look at your phone to see how high or low you have the volume. Even with the various settings on the sound bar and television adjusted, certain sounds were either too loud or too low and did not make sense within the context of the situation- in one game, for example, dialogue was very low but opening doors/dropping items was very loud; it just seemed unbalanced and the experience was not like that with my prior television/sound bar set up. I have since returned the sound bar and replaced it with one that is the same brand as the television - it has been a much better experience.

    Replace my Samsung system that was difficult to make out simple sounds. The sound on this is amazing. You can here every detail of whatever you are watching. I also love the Bluetooth and interconnect ability with Sonos.

    The second gen is a great alternative to the Arc for smaller rooms. The virtual sound algorithm gives a roomier feel of the sound overall. I have it paired with two ONE SLs in a 19'x17'x9' room and it is great! highly recommend, especially if you can get a good deal.
