Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Sonos Beam Gen 2 sound bar by itself was an improvement over the best sound that I could get out of our new HiSense 65" U8K TV, but it still needed the mini subwoofer (that I also purchased) to provide enough low end. That pairing sounds pretty good (and I am picky) up to medium-loud volume levels (which I don't wish to exceed), but it also came close to costing as much as the new TV - and that was an eyebrow raiser for me. I should also mention my experience with the SONOS App: I had an original iPhone SE which was not capable of running the App correctly because its iOS version maxed out at 15.x. That caused me to waste a couple hours trying to get the App to work and eventually call Sonos customer support just to find out that I would need to use a newer iPhone with iOS 16 or higher on it. With a newer iPhone, the App worked fine, but it would have been better if that requirement was in the instructions, or if the App would have complained right away with that detail instead of having it run enough to just cause frustration on an older iPhone.

Good sound bar. Amazing for music and movies. My only issue is keeping it connected to the Tv. It keeps disconnecting and not wanting to reconnect.

I have a small (48 inch) TV on a narrow stand. This sound bar fits in the small space yet provides big sound. I'm a bit hard of hearing and can hear talking much better with this soundbar. I also got a Sonos sub woofer but to be honest this little bar has pretty good base on it's own.

Impressive sound quality. Looks great on entertainment center.

Solid & impactful sound from a reasonably-sized bar; great presentation in unboxing. Easy set up (plug in via HDMI eARC) - only demerits are requiring the Sonos app to initialize.

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

Absolutely love this!!! Connects easily to your tv, sound quality is excellent!

We purchased this along with 2 Sonos One SLs to complete our basement entertainment space. The sound is great and is more than sufficient for our 500 SF basement! The sound is clear and sounds especially great with music and shows/movies that have Dolby atmos sound. We love that we can use the app to create different sound systems so that we can create different set ups for adding and removing other sonos speakers throughout the house. Another big win for us is that we can play music through the speakers via Wi-Fi instead of Bluetooth so if someone opens a video on their phone, it doesn’t interrupt the music through the speakers for everyone else.

Great sound with smaller soundbar Used soundbar mounts to attach to TV mount for a nice anesthetic look Interactive app allows for easy sound adjustment

This soundbar is excellent and really transforms the sound quality for movies. My only criticism is that it would be nice to have a remote still, so that my family could operate it easily when they pet sit/house watch. They barely know how to navigate to Netflix so getting them to download the app is a struggle.

JBL Sound Bar 500 has great sound quality for a wide range of TV and Audio media styles. Easy setup and calibration out of the box. Sub woofer is boomin’ with good vibrations.

I don't use this speaker for my TV, I need a speaker that would fit in this narrow horizontal shelf on my wall unit. It fits perfect! The sound quality is really exceptional. I use Amazon Music HD and it outputs in HD and Dolby Digital for my music. For a smaller speaker, this outputs more than enough for my room. I really satisfied.

Great sound both music and TV, very sleek and easy to set up

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!

can't believe the sound quality plus all the features with voice commands

Excellent sound bar! The sound is clear, bass is booming, audio is enhanced. It's everything you would want in a soundbar for the price and quality!!!

I bought this as an upgrade to my home theater. I previously had a PLAYBASE as a receiver, but the Beam's Dolby Atmos capability really attracted me...and boy, does it deliver on its promise (be sure, though, that you do the Trueplay tuning BEFORE you start diving into any content.) Setup was a cinch, and within 15 minutes I was up and running. Since incorporating the Beam the sound quality has improved tenfold, even on the ONEs and the SUB, and there's an unbelievably immersive experience when watching films that support Atmos capabilities. I highly recommend this product to anyone wanting to experience a quality product that also generates high-quality sound.

Amazing sound for both tv and music. The clarity and base on this alone is impressive. A little overpriced in my opinion, but a good product.

Excellent sounding soundbar with plenty of bass and treble!

Purchased for the living room tv and it sure does fill up the room despite its size. Went back and forth from the decision between the arc and beam gen 2 and no regrets on the final choice. Vocals are clear, lows are heard, left and right sound even farther than where the speaker sits and it’s great. Not too much customization on the EQ but Trueplay helps the balancing in acoustics in the room so treble and bass enhancements are noticeable enough. Well worth it and always a choice for add-ons
