    We purchased the Sonos Beam for our bedroom and couldn't be more pleased. It was easy to setup and makes our evening programs much more enjoyable. Our bedroom tv is a 40+ inch Samsung from 2008! The picture is still great however we were having difficulty hearing the dialog. This has made such an improvement! Although the Sonos would not pair with our Samsung remote since the TV is so old, it did sync with our Fire TV remote. Now, we use that remote for volume control. We are so pleased with this Sonos that we are considering purchasing the Sonos Arc for our family room 65" TV.

    Excellent Sound - Improvement Over Gen 1

    I already purchased the first generation Beam last year for my bedroom and picked this one up because of the ATMOS and improved voice clarity. I'm not 100% sure that I'm getting the ATMOS experience but the improved voice clarity was immediately noticeable and provides an overall better audio. I'm waiting on a Sonos Arc for the living room and once I see how the ATMOS is with that, I'll come and update my review on it for this. Either way, if you have the first gen, I don't feel like it's super necessary to upgrade but you would be happy if you did. I have these paired with some Sonos One SL for surround sound.

    great compact soundbar with awesome sound... this replaced the TV speakers and now I can hear dialogue and sounds never heard before. Can't wait to add the subwoofer in the near future to round out the full sounds available!

    This is a great soundbar for pairing with your tv, especially if you’re a movie fan like I am. The immersive sound really makes you feel as though you’re a part of every musical and Marky Mark movie—at least, that’s what plays at our house. Set up was simple and I love the different customization options available. Can’t go wrong.

    A fantastic choice provided its price stays put

    We nearly passed on this due to its price point. Also, bear in mind it's eARC. If your TV or projector lacks that output you'll need an adapter such as the 4K Arcana 18Gbps from HD Fury. The Beam Gen2 produces absolutely amazing theater sound quality. Ours is ceiling mounted and angled down using the Epson V12H808001 approximately 10 feet from our favorite seating position. Volume, speech and base quality are mind blowing, producing fantastic surround sound effects without additional speakers. We would buy it again, even for the same price. If it were any pricier we would not.

    The sound bar I bought from Crutchfield did not connect to our Samsung smart TV. I had to send it back and bought a Sonouna soundbar from Best Buy. This one works well with our TV has good-quality sound production and does not need a sub-woofer.

    Sonos Beam Upgrade

    I had a Sonos sound bar previously installed, but the sales person at the Plymouth Best Buy indicated that using the earlier sound bar with this new Samsung OLED TV would result in attaining only 60% of the sound quality. I love the quality and performance of this Sonos Beam, and I don’t regret my upgrade. My wife loved listening to Christmas songs as they were played through the Beam too!

    It sounds so much better than you’d think a soundbar this shape and size could sound. One time when watching a movie, I thought a sound was coming from outside! But it was coming from this speaker sitting right in front of me. When I was shopping, I went to the Best Buy store and was listening to the Sonos Beam and other soundbars, and this one sounded the best even though it doesn’t have vertical-firing speakers. I’m so glad I chose this one and didn’t let the listed specifications deter me.
