After a couple of years of being on the fence about whether to take the plunge on this mostly highly regarded soundbar, a proper open-box find made the expense far less difficult to swallow and, viola! Brought it home, hooked it up (easy-peasy), paired our two Play: 1 speakers as satellites, and did the Trueplay dial-in and, dang! Who needs a sub!? The amount of sound and the depth, range, dimension of sound from movies now is amazing. I've heard some surround sound set-ups before and they do sound pretty wild, this is somehow different. More intimate. This isn't our first time with a soundbar/sub set-up. In fact, we've had three different soundbar/sub setups over the past few years and they were ok. Much better than the tv speakers but only just. Now, small sounds emerge from the left or the right, causing me or my wife some uncertainty thinking the sound is something other than the movie. Honestly, neither of us are that experienced with this multi-speaker set up. However, it has grown on us to the point where we are less likely to think a murderer is in the house now. The turning point for my wife was an afternoon when she was at home by herself (me and the boys out on a weekend getaway) and she dialed up some music and sat and read while tunes bathed her in sonic comfort. She officially became a fan. I, a long-time two channel audio cat, am sold on what the Beam and the two satellite speakers do with movies. It's made watching movies - even movies we've seen many times - more exciting and fun. The music side is pleasant enough - more for the convenience than the actual audio quality. It's faithfulness to audio, or rather, enhancement of song and sound, is a wee bit much for me but I take a sip and relax and get over it. So, in short, after a few more Sonos acquisitions, our house has now become a full-fledged Sonos-fueled house and we are glad about it. Except for my office which is still two-channel British hifi only, thank you. Bravo, Sonos! Your stuff is pricey but, I ain't gonna lie, it's sexy.

Sounds amazing looks so classy doesn’t take up much room and would recommend to everyone

Install to our LG 4K 65 was real easy , the disappointing thing was that I had to use the Fiber optic adapter because the LG does have a HDMI ARC port, but does have a fiber optic port. Loading the Sonos app was easy and the app found the Sonos sound bar immediately. Walked through the setup, found one issue here too. The LG remote is note compatible with the Sonos Beam. But I can control the volume from the app or with our Amazon Alexa. I had the Beam playing 70 & 80s music from one of the Radio stations listed on the app, sound was awesome. Also found my favorite local sports radio station was on the list. Sound is on the LG TV is much clearer and watching movies and concerts is 10 times better now. I will be adding a subwoofer soon.

I recently added the Sonos Beam Gen 2 to my living room setup, and it's been a fantastic upgrade. Right out of the box, the sound quality is impressive—rich, balanced, and immersive, especially for movies and shows with Dolby Atmos. Dialogue is incredibly clear, and it handles music just as well as TV audio. Setup was a breeze. I just connected the HDMI and power cable, opened the Sonos app, and everything synced up in minutes. The Trueplay tuning feature (if you have an iPhone or iPad) makes a real difference in optimizing the sound for your space. It’s compact but doesn’t feel underpowered. The virtual surround sound fills the room nicely, and it integrates seamlessly with other Sonos speakers if you ever want to build a full system. Pros: Clear, immersive sound with Dolby Atmos Compact and sleek design Quick and easy setup with the Sonos app Excellent for both TV and music Things to note: Bass is solid, but you might want to add a sub if you're really into heavy low-end Trueplay tuning only works with iOS devices

Excellent Sound Quality. Pretty Easy to setup. Wifi sometimes disconnects, but easy reboot fixes the issue

Looking to upgrade my bedroom soundbar and was always intrigued by Sonos, but quite pricey. I was a bit skeptical on purchase that I would not truly need a woofer, although if this was true, that would be great. Less crap on the floor. And as it turns out, I didn't!. In fact, that would have been to much. The best way to describe the bass is high end headphone bass. It will not, NOT shake your room. But it will be an amazingly great balanced tone. So being that is the whole debate on Sonos, I will just fill in the normals. Sound quality is rich and nuanced. Dialogue is super easy to hear clearly, but does not sound tinny. The app is killer, it has an eq and you can use this as a very easy Alexa or Siri. It is small but powerful. Buy it if you are reading this, you will be thrilled with the direction that soundbars are going. In conclusion, remember when everyone was buying 18 inch woofers for their car so you could get bass? And now that seems lame since you can get a balanced sound with a smart setup? Then this is the adult soundbar for you

It sounds amazing!! My only complaint is that the soundbar seems to toggle back and forth between tv sound coming on and the sonos bar without me controlling that which I definitely don’t want but the sound quality is amazing.

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.

The Sonos Beam (Gen 2) is an impressive upgrade that delivers rich, immersive sound without taking up much space. Dolby Atmos really adds depth, making movies and shows feel more cinematic, and the dialogue clarity is excellent—even at lower volumes. Setup was quick and seamless through the Sonos app, and the ability to integrate with Alexa/Google Assistant is a nice bonus. It looks sleek, blends perfectly with my TV setup, and easily fills the room with powerful sound. If you want a premium, compact soundbar that brings both music and movies to life, the Beam Gen 2 is a fantastic choice.

Excellent sound for its price. Setup was easy once I did a reset on the unit. The automatic sound adjustment worked well to turn the bar for the room it was installed.

Awesome sound bar for an apartment space and studio room, has clear sound quality. Without the woofer it has a great kick in base. Really recommend it. Only drawback is no Bluetooth option.

The Sonos Soundbar delivers an exceptional audio experience, combining sleek design with powerful performance. Its immersive sound quality brings movies and music to life, with rich bass and clear, detailed highs. The setup is user-friendly, seamlessly integrating with other Sonos speakers for a whole-home audio system. The sleek, minimalist design complements any entertainment setup, making it a stylish addition to your living space. While it comes with a higher price tag, the premium build and top-notch sound make it a worthwhile investment for audio enthusiasts.

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.

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.

I have been an avid bose fan for 25 years and unfortunately the quailtiy that bose is known for is no longer there. When it worked, it was awesome. But every time u turned off the tv it lost connection and had to be set up again on a daily basis. Well, took thay back and bought sonos. I must say the connection process is a breeze and it hasnt lost connection one time. But to me, the bose still sounds better and louder. Which is very important when using outside. Just unfortunately will not stay connected but the fact that sonos was so simple to set up and does sound amazing for movies just lacks when playing music, i will definitely be keeping. Just think it was somewhat over priced for the sound quailty.

Great quality speaker. One thing to keep in mind, NO BLUETOOTH connection available. Connects through your network and airplay. If you don’t mind that, it’s very good overall. Anyone connected to your network can easily connect and use it.

Just switched from the LG SN6Y to the Sonos Beam Gen 2 and I’m honestly blown away. Voices are so much clearer, the surround sound effect feels more immersive even without rear speakers, and setup through the Sonos app was super easy. The soundstage feels wider, and the bass is surprisingly strong for such a compact bar. Plus, the design looks way sleeker in my apartment. Definitely worth the upgrade!

You are in the store trying to decide which system to spend good money on, the best bang for the buck. Sorry, this isn't that type of set up. So what is good about the Sonos beam Gen 2 with the Mini-sub and 2 Sonos One SLs. 1. Easy to set-up 2. Crisp clean sounds 3. Flawless connection to the TV, no checking for input settings. 4. Sub-Mini has no rattle and the bass is unique, Very rich but not boomie. 5. The app makes it great to control and operate. 6. Great build quality, You get what you pay for. 7. Wide and dynamic sound ( soundstage) 8. Zero distortion even when the volume is at max What is bad about the system. 1. Loud but not loud enough when you step away from the area. 2. Atmos is not really present 3. Expensive system when you put it all together. 4. its not going to shake the house for the price you pay. 5. The Beam by itself is only good for a small area, Do not buy if it is going in a open concept space.

Wow great purchase. The slim design works perfectly below our TV. The sound is crisp.

A big improvement specially compared to TV speakers or older siundbars, it's great for medium room size with surround and no need for a separate subwoofer. A great feature with Sonos Trueplay makes a day and night difference once performed.
