    It was a choice of either head phones or the addition of a speaker. After hearing the speaker at Best Buy I decided on the speaker which turned out to be the best choice. The sound is clearer, crisp and do not need to boost the sound volume all the way up for us mature people.

    I purchased the Beam Gen2 to replace another system. I didn’t feel like it was providing all of the sound I was hoping for. The Beam did not disappoint. I live in an apartment. So the ARC was a bit much. After watching several reviews I decided that the Beam was what I needed. NOK very happy with my purchase.

    I don’t have e-arc so At this point I can’t take advantage of the Dolby Atmos, but it does bounce a lot more signal than the original Beam & the bass is much more pronounced on the version 2. Just picked up a couple one SL’s & looking forward to checking out the surround signal.

    How can you go wrong with a Sonos product. I already had the Arc and needed something for a smaller room. This thing sounds amazing for the size. A little pricey as always with So is but you get what you pay for. No regrets

    We have a Sampson 42" TV in our Breakfast Nook, the TV has a perfect picture, great colors, depth, perfect! The sound was not intense, so we purchased the Beam!! It made a huge difference in the sound of action movies, clarified the voices in the News! Absolutely love It!!

    Was a little harder to install than we were lead to believe. But the sound is great!!! Not sure if we will get the mounting kit yet as it definitely mounts much different than our old one.

    I took a chance on spending more money for this when there are lots of options. Sonos doesn’t just make this stuff they perfect it. Just buy it and the pain is over almost instantly.

    Excellent crisp sound. We purchased to go with our new 65" Samsung tv and have in our family/living room and the sound is great anywhere you sit in the room. Very happy with our purchase. Definitely worth the money.
