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.

    Excellent sound quality paired with the Sonos sub mini in my medium sized living room. I bought this to replace my stereo and 5 speaker surround system to reduce clutter, and also to move the TV to a corner in the room. Super impressed with the results! If I want to add more speakers for full surround sound, I can do that with this system. Even with only the Beam sound bar and the subwoofer, my wife asked me why it sounds like the sound is coming from all around us! I cranked up the volume to the max listening to some rather aggressive music of various types, and it was clear and satisfying...Maybe not for the immediate neighbors! LOL

    Well this was my second choice. And I’m glad I returned my first. You can probably figure out who my first choice was… probably SONOS biggest competitor. Name something like BOOO… Reason I return my first choice because the quality of the sound was pretty equal: flawless connectivity of SONOS. It’s amazing how well it works and adjust across the diffent sources I have conn eyes to the soundbar. A won’t do much time on the competition trying to figure out why it would disconnect, why would the app not work, it was frustrating and honestly puzzling that such an expensive piece of tech would have such terrible connectivity. Well i am now a SONOS guy and never going back to the other guys. Loving the sounds bar. Surround speaker are my next item purchase coming up. You did well SONOS, you won me over.

    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.

    Like every Sonos product I've owned , this has outstanding sound quality of the software and the ease of set-up is not the best. Not the best choice if you're not good with technology.

    Amazing sound in a small package, not the most powerful soundbar but very impressive for its size! It’s a perfect system with two era 100s for surrounds and a sub mini

    Compared the beam 2 to the Arc in the store, with and without sub. As I wanted this for music as well as TV, I felt the Beam actually sounded better than the Arc for music, and still pretty good for TV. Have since added a Sub and IKEA Symfonisk as surrounds, and the overall system is fantastic. Unobtrusive, really good definition and easy to listen to. Always thought of Sonos as being over priced and more about the multi room and streaming services. But this is a really high performing audio system and great value compared to >$1000 systems.

    Enhances my overall home theatre and AirPlay system setup plus gives me access to my Sonos-connected streaming services. Plus it is the perfect size for what I need. Easy to connect, too. Big sound! Glad I got it.

    Very nice sound in a compact package for gaming, cable, and streaming. Using the app to fine tune the bar’s output for the space makes a noticeable improvement, though the sound really is quite good out of the box. I hadn’t wanted to spend so much on a soundbar, since I really hadn’t wanted a soundbar at all, but my TV’s down firing speakers are terrible, and cheaper compact soundbars didn’t work for my space. I am very happy that the Beam gives me reasonably well balanced sound in a single unit that’s roughly 2’ long. I’m not a fan of the lack of remote, since there are times I don’t want to use voice control, and having to unlock my mobile device to get to the controls in the app is inconvenient at best. I’d also prefer to have a visual numeric value assigned to the volume (there isn’t one). It helps me quickly get to the volume level I want for specific circumstances.

    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.

    The quality of this speaker is great. Vast improvement over my TVs built in speakers. Dialogue is clearer and overall sound balance. It's best for smaller rooms or for someone who doesn't demand a expensive surround sound setup. But additional Sonos speakers and sub woofer can be added in the future to achieve an immersive surround sound 5.1 system. Things of note: •You will need a smart device to download the app to setup and update your Sonos device. •No remote to control volume, it will either need to be done through the Sonos app, or if your TV remote supports it, it would need to be programmed to control your soundbar, or through ARC hdmi port through your TV.

    Perfect integration with Sony Bravia

    Works perfectly with my Sony Bravia X90L. Just barely fits under the TV with the factory legs in the "high" position, but that's enough. Sound is great to my ears. The voice boost and whatever other sound enhancement features they have seem to do their job well. If you want something that sounds like a $1000 soundbar this probably isn't it, but I think it's a great value at its price point. Deducting one star because the touch controls on the top are gimmicky; they don't provide any feedback and there's no physical bumps or anything to tell you you're in the right place. Plus, because they react to "swipe" gestures it's easy to activate them by accident if you touch the top of the device. That said, I don't go near it very often so that's not a big deal.

    Sonos is a excellent product it is half the size of competitors but has deep rich sound. You can add your other music apps so it plays all, Alex, Apple, and Pandora plus y can add other Sonos speakers and have a total rich surround sound.
