Customers are saying

Customers find value in the Beam (Gen 2) 5.0 Channel Smart Soundbar with Dolby Atmos, particularly praising its unmatched sound quality, ease of use, and convenient size. The setup process is also considered super easy, and the design is appreciated for being slim and edgy. However, some customers have reported occasional connectivity issues, and a few feel the volume could be better.

    BOUGHT FROM OUTLET PLEASE READ

    Bought from a BB outlet and I’m glad I did. Saved over $100 from the regular stocker price. One thing I will advise if you buy open box, make sure the product is reset to its original setting. I had trouble trying to sync it to the app but found out it never was properly restored. It’s easy to do that as well. No need to return if this happens to you.

    Great sound quality for its purpose. I purchased for my upstairs TV in my gameroom and it provides great medium range surround sound as a booster to the room. If you're looking for high end surround sound for watching movies, spend the extra money and get the ARC model. The BEAM is great for boosting sound with the right expectation there are better models for theater quality surround sound. Easy to setup.

    I use this for a bedroom TV and two Sonos Ones for surround sound. Love the plug and play ease of use on my Sony TV. An easy recommendation to anybody looking for a soundbar for a bedroom or office. Even a nice unit for a main living area considering the sound and price.

    I first saw this product at a different store, went to Best Buy to try it and also because they have always the best deals and I love it. Easy to install, I added a couple of speakers that sonos immediately recognizes and connects and now my movies are like in the theatre. This sound is like being immersed in the show, distributes very well the surrounding audio.

    The sound quality of the Sonos beam blew my previous sound bar out of the water! Even without a sound bar you get deep bass and even for a larger room, the sound quality can’t be beat.

    Bought this to replace a Sony Soundbar. The sound on this one is superior. The sound comes through clear and without muffling. Very easy setup. I also got one on sale, and used rewards cash.

    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.

    Great Soundbar for Sonos Users and Simple TV setup

    Excellent sound bar for simple TV setups. I use this with an LG C3 and an apple tv, but I didn't bother with a full surround sound setup. Works seamlessly and setup is very straightforward. If you have other sonos devices it's great that it can extend your music throughout the house.

    Does what I wanted

    I was looking for a reasonably priced 1 piece sound bar to compliment a new OLED TV. I hoped to spend $200 or less. Everything I heard in that price range didn't sound better than TV sound. Sales associate recomended that I listen to this. It was more money than I wanted to spend but it delivered the rich full sound I wanted. With no surround speaakers or subwoofer it may not match the sound of more expensive sound bars or full AV systems, but for watching TV or occasionaql Blu Rays, it is fine. It is connected to the TV's eArc port ands wakes up when the TV is turned on. Volume is controlled from TV or cable remote. I don't intend to use the additional features available from Sonos and would have been happy if a lower priced version of the sound bar without those features had been available. One minor issue that I have observed is that the sound bar seems to take a few seconds to wake up when I turn on the TV so the sound starts shortly after the TV picture.
