    The Beam works seamlessly with my new Samsung OLED tv. The sound it produces with the mini creates a sound paradise. Watching shows like HBO’s Succession with great music is fantastic!

    Love it has very clear audio/sound for a smaller sound bar overall 8 out of 10. Only thing I would do to give a 10 is a little more bass and higher highs . Mid are a 9 out of 10 great for a starter set. Would recommend to pair with the surround to get a fuller experience.

    I wanted something that was quality for my bedroom TV but didn't want or need a massive sound system. This was the perfect mix between the two!

    Best sound bar I have ever purchased. I was told to buy one and they were not wrong. I would recommend the sound bar for anyone that wants to have better sound with their television and for music.

    The sonos sound is so rich that you hear everything so clear. I have the beam with a pair of the SL ones. Makes a great surround sound. I have a living room 18'×10.5' and it fills up the room with GREAT sound.

    Excellent product for the price. Was very surprised on the quality off the price. It’s not the Sonos arc but comes very close. If you’re on budget you can’t go wrong with the beam

    Love it. This is my second beam, have one on other TV. I tried the Ray and did not care for it. Although it has a phone app you do not have to use the app to control it. You can ask it to play music and it does. Sound quality is great.

    Been eyeing the Sonos Beam for a while and it does not disappoint. For a small to medium size room this soundbar is perfect and sounds crystal clear. Setup was quick and painless.

    These definitely are premium speakers, and Sonos delivers on that. While they are expensive, I feel that they are worth the money.

    Definitely enhances and upgrades the sound from just the TV speakers. The TruSound feature took a few tries to set up.

    Like the title states, this provides 95% of the arc sound stage at a much cheaper price. Paired with the sub mini and oneSL provides an amazing surround sound experience.

    Sounds perfect. The arc is fantastic, the beam is a step down from that but perfect for smaller rooms. I have it in my living room which is decent size. I moved the arc to a media room. Couldn't be happier.

    I own a Sonos Arc as well, and for about half the price, this Beam Gen 2 performs extremely well. Clear dialogue, and when added with at least a pair of rear speakers (tip: IKEA Symfonisk bookshelf speakers work great and are way cheaper than Sonos One), it’s an incredibly full audio experience.
