Customer Ratings & Reviews

I don't usually write reviews, but the Sonos Beam deserves all the praise. This soundbar is hands-down the GOAT of home audio. The sound is crystal clear, with deep bass, crisp highs, and perfect balance—whether you're watching movies, gaming, or streaming music. It fills the room with immersive sound without needing a massive setup. Setup was super easy, and the sleek design fits seamlessly into any space. I also love the smart features—Alexa integration, Apple AirPlay 2, and smooth connectivity with other Sonos products. If you're on the fence, don’t be. The Sonos Beam punches way above its size and price point. It's a game-changer. Best Buy, you nailed it with this one!

This was a very easy setup with my tv, and great sound!

This sound bar is great for the money, works great with the new TV, just don't like you have to download an app to set it up and make adjustments

Excellent small room or space sound bar with full range of sound and base to entertain the most avid movie goer or music fan! Great !

I had the Bose solo 5 switched it to the Sonos, both sound really good. I like the fact that Sonos uses my Amazon fire tv remote no extra remote needed and when I change the volume I see an actual number where Bose shows nothing and requires their remote. However when I change the volume on the Sonos it goes up or down by 2 not 1, which is odd. Overall I’m very pleased with my new purchase. Wait for sale price though unless it’s a must have.

Got this as a house warming gift, and they couldn't be happier. Big, balanced sound without distortion or crackles, even at high volume. Setup was quick and easy. Surprisingly, having no dedicated remote is actually a plus as there's one less device to keep track of; just use the HDMI ARC port and your TV remote can control it. Great device and great value all around!

fantastic sound. sharp and clear. don't really need the base speaker, as the sound bar produces very good sound alone. very glad i discussed with sales personnel, as this was clearly a great choice.

This thing is beyond amazing! For it being small it does pack a punch! Thought i would need to get the Arc but this one is just perfect for what i need!

Easy to set up…really easy. Almost plug and play. Sound is good. Think you may want to add a small sub for deeper bass. If you can manage the additional cost one of the arc sound bars may provide a better experience. .

The Sonos Beam Gen 2 is just what we needed to get better sound from our tv shows and movies. We previously had surround sound equipment set up but it all was just a bit much for our small living room. The Sonos Beam won’t take the place of a complete setup but it won’t disappoint either if you are looking for minimal equipment with great sound. If that is what you are looking for this sound bar won’t disappoint!.

Great speakers - sound fills the room, but compact

System installed in an open area family room adjacent to a kitchen and nook area. Family Room 20’x16’. Essentially, plug in, follow intuitive app install instructions & learn the easy to follow instructions to play the system from the TV E-Arc connection & your favorite streaming app. Immersive, high end audio experience. Buy bigger & more expensive if you want to. I took the minimalist approach for the white decor, size & decor. The appearance & audio experience not only met my expectations, but far exceeded them. I tried the Era 300 for the room size. The speaker footprint looked out of place and the audio was overkill for what I wanted for this room. Of Note: I use the Era 100 as surround sound speakers. You can adjust the audio level for music and TV in the surround audio setting. Go to the sound section for all the audio settings & have at it to your liking. Lots of questions about the Beam E-Arc cable to the TV (me: LGC1 65”) cutting out the use of Bluetooth headphones (For me: AirPod Max) connected to the TV. My solution: from the Beam, connect the male end of the hdmi cable, not to the E-Arc port of the TV, but to a 2nd hdmi cable that is female on one end and male on the other. Get the length of your choice. Plug the male end into the TV E-Arc port. I taped the cord mid level on the back left side of the TV with plenty of length & slack on the female end. Insert the beam male end into the female end and subsequently received immediate Sonos Beam connectivity using the TV & music app. With the TV in the off position, I reach around inches to the rear left side of the TV, pull on the connected hdmi cords & disconnect them. The cords remain within inches of each other for later reconnection. With the E-Arc cable unplugged, the TV resorts to its audio and bluetooth settings. This allows me to watch movies after hours, using the bluetooth headphones. After movie watching, I turn off the TV, take 10 seconds to reconnect the cables and I’m back online with the Sonos system. Remember, it’s TV E-Arc enabled devices sending audio over an hdmi cable to home theatre sound systems (ie Sonos systems.) Hope this is helpful for someone out there.

Living in an apartment, I wanted a soundbar that could give me a movie theater experience without disturbing the neighbors. This is the perfect bar for that (or for those in small houses) as it delivers excellent audio while not being too much. The Sonos technology scans the room to optimize sound output and I swear this one bar sounds like surround sound sometimes. Paired it with the Sonos mini sub and it is an excellent combo.

This is a good quality sound bar, with good sound a bass response. Once it was set up, it worked well with our TV connected to an Apple TV. There are a few reasons I didn’t give this unit 5-stars. 1. The set up software was clunky at best. One needs to download an App for a phone or pad of either variety to access the setup software. I have some experience working with confused Apps, but I don’t think my wife would have managed to figure out how to set it up. Luckily, once the setup and connection are complete, the App is really not needed. 2. As the unit goes to “sleep” after use, so there is a small delay in response before the audio starts. Start a video, and the first few moments of audio are lost until it wakes up. I expect that I could force it awake using the App, but it seems pretty daft to need to have my iPhone around to run an app so I can listen to a video on my TV. 3. The inputs are limited. I realize that a more expensive Sonos model would offer additional input methods. Just saying this unit has limited inputs. Ultimately we have learned to live with these issues and do enjoy the audio. Since it mostly works automatically, it is a LOT better than the previous sound system I had, which was a stereo receiver. Using that system required way too many steps to get things working. So it is recommended.

The moment I installed the new Sonos sound bar my ears went on a journey I'd only experienced in a movie theater. Music and voices came alive and and felt totally integrated with the action on the TV screen. But it did't stop there, it also seems to enhanced the quality of the colors and tones coming out of the TV. I had to pause and pat myself on the back for my choice!

The Beam 2 was very easy to setup and the TV and streaming music sound in our living room is now amazing! We have an LG 4K TV that seamlessly integrated into the Beam 2 and our CATV provider. The only issue is we haven't figured out how to get the volume level to appear back on the TV screen when we adjust it. Full disclosure, we already had owned a Sonos Amp which was driving a pair of (non-Sonos) indoor ceilling speakers in our living room, but only for streaming audio services via our cell phones (no TV connection). So we purchased the Beam 2 to integrate with Amp and those spreakers, as rear surround sound speakers, and after a couple of tried, we got it to work, and it's amazing.

I was impressed with the overall sound but it was a bit pricey $$$. Upon setting up the device i realized there's no on/off button nor a physical remote control, i had to use my phone as a remote which is a pain especially when you'd like to put the phone away, chill and watch a movie. The very next day the device didn't recognize that it was connected to my television, so i called tech support and they told me it was a bad HDMI cord. WRONG! The device suddenly started to play after a few hours, so id say that is definitely a connectivity issue. I was also told you could pair the device with your smart tv w/o a HDMI or optical cord. WRONG AGAIN!! It does not do what other soundbars do in this price range. WEIRD! After all these things happened I was no longer feeling it. IT'S A NOGO'S FOR SONOS

We were looking for a soundbar for our living room TV. The advisor showed us the Sonos Beam (Gen 2) with Dolby Atmos. The difference in the sound quality of the Sonos Beam compared to that of the less expensive brands was immediately apparent. The dialog was much clearer at all volume levels, and the features available on the Sonos Beam far outclassed those of the other sound bars we previewed. The Sonos Beam is a bit more expensive than other sound bars, but in this instance, the additional cost is well worth it. You won't be disappointed in this quality addition to your entertainment center. We were so pleased with the performance we later purchased a Sonos wireless speaker to complement the Sonos Beam.

For what it is, it is fantastic. If you’re looking for a small low profile sound bar that actually sounds great, this is the one. It truly is small, barely takes up any space, and sounds amazing. I love the connectivity to my phone also, nice touch to mess with the EQ and what not if you needed to right from your phone. Overall, very happy. Especially for my small game room.

This soundbar sounds great, especially for it’s size. I think it lacks bass, but that’s a personal preference. I have added the Sonos sub to supplement the bass. I love it size, performance, Dolby Atmos support, setup was easy, and it’s a great way to start in the Sonos eco system. I wish Sonos devices were cheaper and had longer warranties but they have a good reputation so…
