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.

    I was totally amazed at how good the speaker sounds. I purchased it for my TV on the lanai, and I was slightly concerned about the amount of bass it would produce. To say the least, I was extremely happy at the sound quality and the amount of bass it produced.

    Sound quality is very good for what it is and the ease of setting this up was almost like setting up an apple product. I plan on pairing this with a sub mini soon.

    Easy to set up. Great sound for a small room without need for additional speakers. Like the night sound feature which lowers bass and heightens voices so other rooms are not disturbed.

    I purchased this sound bar because I heard it sounded better than Bose. It is absolutely correct!! The sound bar and base module sound like a movie theater experience. If you live your music with allot of base then this is the sound bar for you!!!

    Sonos Beam is a great product. A little pricey, but excellent quality and clean lines. It was easy to hook up and there are some very nice features. You can control things from your phone or via your TV remote.

    Bar sounds good with great base but has a slight tin can treble sound that really bugs me. My 150 dollar visio bar sounds better but it's not as powerful. The sonos is a powerful sound bar. I'll give it that and the deep base this little thing gives off it's making me hold onto it.

    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.

    Impressive soundbar for the size and price. We needed a soundbar for a medium to large room and so far we're very happy. Setup was simple and the new plastic mesh grill is far superior to the fabric grill on the 1st generation model. For an even larger room I would recommend the Sonos ARC but for our needs the Beam Gen 2 works great.

    The new Sonos Beam Gen 2 is perfect for my 82 inch Sony. The set up is super easy and it sounds terrific. Also, the ability to use my smart phone as a controller eliminates another remote which makes my wife happy. My next purchase will be the Sonos rear speakers to finalize what should be a great surround sound setup.

    Upgraded from the Sonos beam 1 and at first I was not that impressed. I then started watching more and more content with Dolby Atmos and I noticed the sound was filling up the room more. My family room is 12.6 by 20.6 and for a sound bar this size it was amazing how it filled up the room. Like others said, don't think without up-firing speakers you will get true atmos sound that is unrealistic, but for the price and size of this sound bar you will be pleasantly surprised. Have not true played the soundbar and my sonos one surrounds yet and that should make it even better.

    Great sound. Center channel much improved in the gen 2. Dolby Atmos effect is adequate but not going to blow your mind. Looks great and for a small room is awesome. Better than your TV sound. I have it paired with a Sony A80J which is a great sounding TV but the Sonos makes it better. Sonos just makes great products, period.

    I ordered an open box and was not disappointed. It came pretty much as a new one and delivery was fast. However, it would not connect because the former owners email was still in their system. I had to call Sonos to get it reset. Even worst, the Sonos app was missing important features in Andriod. The Truplay auto roon eq was only available for Apple. If you're not going to provide a remote, then the app should work the same for all devices. In addition, the Beam didn’t seem to have any surround sound effect that I could hear. And music, although highly defined, was just mono. The optional surround speakers are just too costly. I think there are better options out there for my needs so I returned it to Best Buy. Great experience with Best Buy but not with the Beam.

    Beam Gen 2- LivingRoom no Sub (yet) - thumbs up

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

    First Sonos purchase - Needed a sound bar for the LG65"CX TV that was moved to the living room. I had been using a Samsung w/ sub that was ok but caused some issues with two different TV's it was attached to. It was either the Beam or the Arc based on reviews and desire to upgrade / add to it in the future w/ sub and back speakers. Arc was too long to fit on the TV stand. After listening to it in Best Buy we opted to purchase the Beam gen 2. Only wish it had an additional eARC hdmi slot. But for what we needed this works great and Grandma is happy. It can crank out the volume for her to hear.

    Excellent soundbar, we have a sonos sub+ beam setup in our basement and loved it so much we had to buy one for our main living room as well. The soundbar on its own is great but I feel like it needs the bass for total enjoyment. It’s a little spendy but the bass adds such rich sound you won’t regret it.
