    The Sonos Beam is a versatile soundbar that combines impressive sound quality with smart features and a sleek design. While it may not be suitable for large home theaters, it’s an excellent choice for smaller living spaces. If you’re looking to elevate your audio experience without breaking the bank, the Sonos Beam is a solid choice.

    Best all around sound bar for medium sized rooms.

    This is the third Beam we've purchased for different rooms in our home and we own versions of almost all Sonos home theater products. eARC compatibility allows for one remote functionality with apple tv. Airplay support allows for drop in sound system/music without having to rely on Sonos app (which is okay and offers extra control but entails extra steps). We've found the Beam has the best over all sound quality for medium sized rooms at this price point and exceeds the performance of two current gen era 100s in stereo. One can achieve better sound with two current gen era 300s or Arc/Arc Ultra (and even better with sub) but either option would cost a few hundred dollars more. Probably would buy another if a need arises.

    Got the Beam just a few days ago and it is awesome! It’s a lot smaller compared to the arc but is prefect for my 65” TV in a average sized room in the basement. The bass coming from it is amazing. Then I messed with the EQ and turned on voice enhancement, plus calibrated it to the room using Trueplay and I couldn’t be more impressed. At first I bought the Bose 900 sound bar for $899 and was not impressed. I returned it and got the Beam and at half the price of other sound bars, the Sonos Beam is perfect! By saving money and getting the Beam, I can add on and get the Sonos subwoofer and rear speakers.

    Researched soundbars for some time and this one generally was a top choice. We needed a bar only as we have a grabby kiddo, with a TV/media height that is in his reach, so too many cords and speakers are not an option. For some context we have what I would describe as a decent but not giant sized living room. Listened to several different bars before this one, including one at a higher price point ($369 on sale currently for the Sonos Beam 2) and the difference was clear, we couldn't get out of there fast enough with this one. Before tipping my hand, the Best Buy employee pointed us in this direction as well, further solidifying the choice. No it does not have Bluetooth but as explained to me that cuts the quality and would disable Dolby Atmos, and sound quality. Set up wasn't too hard, there is no remote so you must you use an app to set up but after a quick sound setting change on my LG OLED (2020 model) to HDMI arc (needed for this and similar soundbars to maximize their quality/filter dialogue) the TV remote works for the Sonos Beam 2 and now I have one less remote. Once all the updates were complete and I got everything going (15-20 minutes) I put on Top gun Maverick and what a difference from our old Vizio soundbar. We could hear each of the different individual sounds and it filled the room better than I thought a bar could. Once the characters began talking (have tested this on a few other movies/shows) we no longer had to toggle the sound up and down to hear people talk. It should be noted that the dialogue technology is available in a variety of similar soundbars but again, the sound for the price was unbeatable from what I read/saw. I later put on a little Halo and could hear old Master Chief walking around with clean sound that should make gameplay that much better. Lastly, its clear that as our kiddo gets older we will be able to add equipment wirelessly should we choose - sub, speakers and so on. Save yourself some time, if this is in your price range pull the trigger, you will not be disappointed.

    Coming from a really terrible Bose sounder experience. Sonos knocked it out of the park. Sound is incredible, great bass, audio is crystal clear. Very easy to set up, making it seamless like Apple. I am happy, wife is happy too :) We have it paired with (2) Sonos One surrounds which complete the experience. Also, I love the fact that they don't force you to buy a bundle - I have a black Beam and white surrounds which fade in more into the lighter colored walls. A+

    This was my favorite soundbar until the software within the app screwed it all up. It’s a great soundbar with the best treble and bass. Once the developers of the app fix it, I will purchase another one

    I have Vizio 2.1 and 5.1 soundbars on a couple of TV's in the house that I'm very happy with, but I opted to go with the Sonos Beam Gen 2 for my outdoor patio TV. And boy, I'm glad I did! The Beam is a great sounding soundbar. It has clean sound and adequate enough bass for me but eventually I will add a Sonos Sub Mini to really fill it out. The Beam integrates perfectly with all my outdoor audio systems, which includes the Sonance SGS 8.1 system, Sonos amp, Sonos Port music streamer, 50" Insignia TV, and a pair Polk Atrium 8 SDI speakers. I currently have three zones set up (pool, patio speakers, and patio TV) so I can listen to individual zones or all of them simultaneous for evenly balanced sound distribution throughout my entire 6700+ square foot backyard.

    The Sonos Beam is a soundbar that has a small design but big sound. It is compact, easy to set up, and has excellent sound. It also has Alexa and multi-room music streaming. I have added sub-mini to the set-up.

    I recently purchased the Sonos Beam (Gen 2) in black, and I have to say, I am absolutely in love with this soundbar! The setup was incredibly easy, and within minutes, I was able to start streaming my favorite music and movies with incredible sound quality. One of the things I love most about the Sonos Beam (Gen 2) is the voice control feature. It allows me to control my music and TV with my voice, which is incredibly convenient and easy to use. The sound quality is also top-notch, with deep, rich bass and crystal-clear highs. Another great feature of the Sonos Beam (Gen 2) is the ability to connect it to other Sonos speakers in my home for a truly immersive sound experience. And with the ability to stream music from a wide range of services, I never have to worry about running out of content to listen to. Overall, I would highly recommend the Sonos Beam (Gen 2) to anyone looking for a high-quality soundbar that is easy to use, packed with great features, and delivers incredible sound quality. It's definitely worth the investment! 5 stars all the way!

    I spent countless hours trying to decide which soundbar would be perfect for my bedroom and I settled on this one. My first Sonos Product so I approached with caution, I'm glad to say I was not disappointed. The Sonos Beam 2 comes packaged in a simple yet hefty box, very protected. It comes with an HDMI cable (to connect to your HDMI Arc/eArc connection), an HDMI to Optical conversion plug and the Power Cable. The Beam Gen 2 is quite a beautiful and sleek looking soundbar that would fit into any modern setting. Once mounted to the wall (with the help of the Sonos Beam Mount) Setting it up was simple enough (requires an App and preferably an IOS device). You will probably need to fiddle with your TV sound settings to actually get Atmos Out of this soundbar (if supported by your TV). Overall a terrific purchase (Especially during Black Friday). Again, my first Sonos Product but will definitely not be the last!
