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.

    Amazing sound, terrible app/interface. Setting this up was simple, however utilizing the app afterword and juggling music and the tv system settings was not. If you don’t know what you’re doing be prepared to watch a few YouTube videos like I did.

    I hooked the Beam up to my Sony TV and disconnected my receiver and all my in-wall speakers. The sound is great. At reasonable volumes it fills the room with clear and robust sound. I may add a wire-less subwoofer

    Fast shipment and high-quality product. I am aficionado of the best quality sounds at reasonable price. This soundbar it fulfill my expectations for my hobby, a little expensive for my budget but I'd say the company who make it use the best products they have. I was going to buy the less expensive one (same brand) but not complain so far.

    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.

    Perfect for a bedroom

    Perfect fir a bedroom, I have a tiny sitting area in my room, and I plugged this into my 65" Sony A95L and it increased the experience by 10x. It is perfect for smaller rooms; I have the Sonos Arc for my big 77" LG CX and that really complements that TV and larger living room size better. The Beam is not super loud, but if you really want to bump it up you can, it is loud enough. The Google features are cool as well. I got a big discount on my Beam so it was worth the bread, full price not so much.

    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.

    Great sound bar. We already had two Era 100 for music speakers when we were looking for a sound bar. They work really well together. The app has some limitations, but overall we are very happy with the purchase.

    Slick form factor that looks great as a sound bar on our entertainment center counter underneath a wall-mounted TV. Good sound quality and range , but not sufficient by itself for really deep pitches - would need a subwoofer for that. Intuitive to set up and to use with the Sonos app. Toggles nicely being streaming music and acting as the sound bar for TV viewing

    Sonos Beam integrates perfectly with my LG OLED C4. Used primarily as a PC monitor, the Beam provides great sound for a desktop monitor PC setup. Watching videos, listening to music, or just PC sounds, the soundbar sounds great.

    I absolutely love the sound quality of the sonos beam, it gives me that rich balanced sound that i was looking for, i use mine in my bedroom and it makes watching movies there great. Setting it up took a little time but after it was done, it was great.

    Ever since buying our arc, sub, and era 100s for our theater, we've been hooked to the quality and ease of use. Bought the beam for our bedroom and havent looked back. Cant go wrong with this sound bar. Make sure you use their App to tune with True Play!

    Full sound that makes music and TV sound fantastic. Occasionally disconnects from the app, but it usually reconnects on its own without intervention. I am not sure how much of a step up the Arc model is, but this Beam is perfect for my large living room.

    A big improvement specially compared to TV speakers or older siundbars, it's great for medium room size with surround and no need for a separate subwoofer. A great feature with Sonos Trueplay makes a day and night difference once performed.
