    Purchased this to pair with my new Samsung s95f and it works great, sound quality in my living room, with high ceilings, and voice clarity are better to my ear than the Arc. My only complain is that I had to break out my wife's iPad to calibrate the sound for the room since the app is not compatible with android phones.

    I went to the store with the intention of buying a soundbar of lesser quality. As I chatted with a salesperson he showed me the Sonos Beam. I fell in love with it. I brought it home and fell even more in love with it. The voice control is a great feature. I went back to the store and bought two of the Sonos Era Speakers and just last week I bought another Sonos Beam for my bedroom TV...The sound is awesome. Controlling them is easy and the set up was fast .

    Crazy good sound for an affordable price. Recently rewatched the LoTR extended edition and the soundscape blew me away. Easily set up my Samsung TV remote to control the volume of the soundbar so I dont have to rely solely on the Sonos App. No complaints and now I want to add more pieces like a subwoofer to further enhance the output.

    Great product. I've had a Beam 1 for several years and this is a nice upgrade. The Beam 1 performs perfectly fine still and is used in our bedroom. This Beam 2 is being used In our living room underneath a 65" Toshiba C350 Fire TV. That particular TV offers Dolby Vision and with this Beam 2 containing Dolby Atmos and a 5.0 offering, it made it a great choice to pair up. I have several other Sonos items in our house, this one synced quickly and flawlessly. I purchased this as an open item from a local Best Buy and got it for a really good deal. I would not spend $499 for this, given I also have two Sonos Arc gen 1's and they're now available for same/similar price as the Beam 2.

    The Sonos Beam is hands-down one of the best upgrades I’ve made to my TV setup. The sound quality is incredibly clear and rich for such a compact soundbar—dialogue is crisp, bass is surprisingly deep, and it fills the room without ever sounding harsh

    The little Beam that could

    Where do I even begin… this soundbar overdelivers in a small frame! I was a bit skeptical about the sound quality given its size, but wow — I was in for a big surprise. This thing sounds incredibly impactful, full, and elevated compared to others in the same segment. I picked this up because my OLED TV had terrible built-in audio, and dialogue was hard to distinguish. Once I connected this Sonos, everything changed. Dialogue is now clear and crisp, and here’s the best part: the Beam packs a punch with lower frequencies I wasn’t expecting at all. If you’re looking for a soundbar and are limited on space, look no further. This Beam has it all — dialogue enhancement, deep bass, and a room-filling soundstage. Plus, you can always pair it with a Sonos Sub down the line, which makes it an even bigger win.

    Wow. Just wow. In a smaller room you don't even need a sub. This thing throws sound highs and lows. I wasn't sure what to expect but I doubt I'll try any other brand after this. Setup was plug and play, super easy. The app is extremely easy to use. Recommend 100%

    Sonos Beam

    I picked up the Sonos Beam along with two Era 100s and the Sub Mini for my bedroom, and this setup is absolutely perfect for the space. Just like my other Sonos gear, the packaging is sleek and well-designed, and the setup was quick and easy through the Sonos app. Everything connected without any hassle. The sound quality is incredible for a bedroom—the Beam delivers clear dialogue and rich detail, while the Era 100s create a great surround effect. The Sub Mini adds surprisingly powerful, clean bass that fills the room without being too much. Whether I’m watching TV, movies, or listening to music, this system makes everything sound better. Sonos really nailed it with this combo, and I couldn’t be happier with how it performs in a bedroom setup.

    Big sound - small soundbar

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Purchased this on a Black Friday sale to use with my 43" Sony Bravia TV that I have in a small living room. This is my first soundbar and after some research and going to BestBuy to listen to the ones on display, and compare the different Sonos models and also Bose soundbars I decided on the Beam 2. I bought this for a few reasons: the built-in TV speakers were hard to hear people's voices, and I also wanted a better speaker for movies, and a speaker to be able to stream music too. The Beam's sound is a massive upgrade from the Sony built-in TV speakers and ticked all the boxes I was looking for. Even with just the soundbar and no additional speakers, the Beam still gives the sense of surround sound with a wide expansive soundscape, and really crisp dialog and a really layered sound. It feels like a movie theatre quality sound to me, just watched the original John Wick in Dolby Atmos and it sounds incredible. Set-up was simple and I had it setup and paired to my Apple TV 4K in just a few minutes, just had to go into the TV and Apple TV's menus and change them to output sound to an external sound system. The remotes also all work with the Beam. Would definitely recommend.

    I've had the Sonos Beam 2.0 & Mini Sub for 2 months now. Bought it during the Christmas sales. I wanted a small footprint & got awesome sound for my Sony OLED TV. Dialog from tv is very clear. Watching 4K Ultra HD bluray action packed movies with Dolby Atmos is great! Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because no Bluetooth connectivity to play my mp3 files. Hoping in 2026 maybe Sonos will release a Beam 3.0 with Bluetooth. I know the Arc Ultra has Bluetooth but I tested that soundbar but didn't care for the way it sounded so I returned it. It's made for larger rooms which the room I have is small/medium size.

    The Sonos Beam Smart Soundbar has been a great addition to my home theatre system. I have it paired with the Sonos Mini Sub and the two together put out exceptional audio. Whether listening to music or watching movies, the audio output from this device is second to none. I also love the Sonos smart app that is available to control the two devices, simultaneously. The functionality of the app, in unison with both devices, makes for an even better listening experience. I would highly recommend Sonos and their paired technology.

    For a compact sound bar. It fills the room with sound and without any other sonos product! Bass is good on it's own and has speech enhancement when needed. Definitely worth the price when on sale for $399.
