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.

    The sound is decent the size is adequate for my tv. The only drawback is that most of the customization options are tied to the app. After I set it up to work with my universal remote I can turn up and down the volume. The sound is clear even at high volumes.

    This one does all: from decent atmos for the price, to 5.1 emulation with surround addons and finally, great music fidelity. Worth the money especially if you are sold on the sonos ecosystem

    The Sonos sound bar immediately convinced me to purchase it upon hearing the demo in store. Set is easy and inter grated with my insignia tv. The sound full my living room immersing me in what ever content I’m watching.

    It’s a no brainer

    Sonos is by far the best “small room” sound bar that you can get (in my opinion). I am fairly picky about sound when it comes to music and home theater (my main living room tv has a $8,000 sounds system) but I didn’t want to go overkill when it comes to smaller rooms. The Sonos Beam has good volume, depth and is robust. If you have other Sonos speakers this is a no brained and you already know the quality in the sound and design. The App is also amazingly useful. It just works and works VERY well. Downfall of Sonos, they only offer 1 subwoofer and the price of it is quite a blow to the wallet. I don’t own one but I have heard them and, while they are amazing, I feel that if you are going to spend that kind of money then you might want to consider a receiver with a 5.1 speaker set up. All in all, the Sonos Beam is a phenomenal step up from tv speakers. It beats all other sound bars (once again, in my opinion)

      Thank you very much for this review. We're glad the Beam found a place to fit into your lifestyle. We hope we can fill even more rooms in your home! Including that $8k system with a Sonos Port ;) - Thanks again! john.milton

    Great Sound! You need to buy the extra parts for the sound bar to have the "Full Room" effect. It was going to become way too expensive and we returned it. Still an excellent product if you can afford it.

    Really great sound. Love the design. But we are now getting a subwoofer. Does seem to need it for the best effect. Buying a Sonos to complete the surround sound. Will only work together with your tvs speakers so not possible to only use the soundbar for sound.

    Great sound, good size and very compatible to my LG Oled new tv. I tried a Bose sound bar first but there were compatibility issues with the LG Oled tv so I returned the Bose. This Sonos is great.

    Previously purchased and returned one of these, not because of sound quality but operational issues. After failed trials with competing products, I decided to try this again, and I’m glad I did. I’ve had no operational issues this time and the sound is great. I’m very pleased with this purchase.

    Excellent sound quality for such a small package. There are cheaper options that offer Dolby Atmos and include a subwoofer and surround sound speakers. However, in my experience, the sound quality and ease of use do not compare. With the Beam, you have the option of adding a subwoofer and speakers if you choose. I personally am holding off until I am out of an apartment complex. In terms of sound, I found that I needed to tweak the stings a bit to get the sound that I wanted, but that was personal preference. The soundbar worked with my C1 flawlessly when plugged into the eARC port. My only criticism is that I sometimes find dialogue difficult to make out in movies, It is often drowned out a little bit by the score. However, reading other reviews, I think this can be solved by tweaking the settings a little bit more. Overall, the Beam is a fantastic soundbar in a small package, ideal for smallish rooms with a lot of expandability options. It is not perfect, but for the price and size you cannot go wrong.

    We were a bit skeptical about such a small unit being able to hold its own in 500 plus square feet of open space in our new home. I cranked it up today for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. Crisp tones and pounding bass made us feel like we had a custom surround sound system.

    I have a small (48 inch) TV on a narrow stand. This sound bar fits in the small space yet provides big sound. I'm a bit hard of hearing and can hear talking much better with this soundbar. I also got a Sonos sub woofer but to be honest this little bar has pretty good base on it's own.
