    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…

    Got this for my parents to vastly improve the sound of their TV. They don't have a full receiver setup, but this produced all the sound quality they needed. They have a fairly tall ceiling, but it's flat, which allowed Dolby Atmos to work very well. I calibrated it using the app and couldn't have been happier. It's very simple and with the HDMI eARC connection on their new tv, the tv handles everything and just passes the audio through, no extra remote to worry about.

    For such a small sound bar it packs an amazing punch. Works perfect for gaming, movies, and regular television. Was very easy to set up and I will be running Sonos speakers from here on out.

    Honestly, I got this sound bar without the sub or surround sound speaker companions. The app led me through setting it up- taking little to no time at all- connecting to your WiFi and allows you to setup subs or surrounding speakers in the future, easily. This sound bar sounds incredibly clear and has surprisingly great bass [without the sub]. For the price tag on this speaker… I’m not sure you’ll find a better soundbar.

    I bought this soundbar for my new Sony bedroom tv . It sounds fantastic. Has a lot of bass, if you use the equalizer with the Sonos remote app on your phone. I am all about the bass. For the bedroom this soundbar is fantastic. I have the bigger more expensive Sonos one SL speakers , Playbase with Sub in my family room which is like being in a movie theater. Though i don't like the fact that Sonos aren't bluetooth the fantastic sound is worth the trade off. I went from Bose to Sonos. I would never go back to Bose. Love the sound. I highly recommend this Beam 2 for smaller rooms. Pricey but worth it. Need better instructions for setting them up . Took me over 3 hours to set them up . I purchased open box with no instructions. Found manual on line but was still a pain to set up for me !!

    I originally bought a Bose sound bar thinking that it would be better, I was wrong this sound bar is the best sounding sound bar that I've heard. We watch a lot of movies and let me tell you this product will not disappoint.

    The sound quality is amazing but the “Alexa compatibility” is misleading. It can function as an Alexa but it does not support multi room music with other Alexas which is very frustrating. I have had it for 2 years and it’s held up great.

    Sonos Beam - Great Sound and Easy to Set Up

    Purchased this for my 42 inch LCD Roku TV, which had poor sound for voices / speaking. This was easy to set up and the sound is great. Voices are much clearer and I don't have to turn the TV to a high level, just to hear the dialogue correctly. Also sounds great with music. I have this in a medium size bedroom. If you have a very large family room or home theater, this may not have enough power, but certainly give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

    Sonos Beam (Gen 2) - is Great !!

    The new Gen of the SONOS BEAM is Awesome, well the previous models are great too. Since my space to watch TV is very small the Sonos Beam is the perfect sound bar. The sound is great, the bass is great and using the Sonos app you can add the One Sonos surround speaker and that would be the perfect match. Make sure you do the tuning using the Sonos app. Overall the Sonos Bean is a great option, I know id not cheap but the sound is great from such a small sound bar.

    Want great sound quality? Look no further! I have a medium sized living room, and this thing bumps! Not even full blast and thumping! I love the DobyAtmos effect as well. Movie nights just got better paring the mini sub and beam. And when the night is right, we love to turn up the music and dance and sing the night away. Sonos is perfect for every home!

    Great sound and easy to use. If you are looking for a great standalone sound bar that won't disappoint out of the box and you can add to later, this is it. The iPhone App to tune it to your room is a great feature as well. The Android app seems to have everything except that one incredibly useful feature. If your TV is mounted on a full motion mount I highly recommend the Sanus mount for the Sonos Beam. Works and looks great! Paired mine with a 65" LG G3 Oled.

    This compact sound bar packs an enormous punch. Whether youre looking for more clarity in dialouge or a descent punch in bass for action scenes in your favorite moviea, this will do. You can definetoy get a better dolby atmos and bass experience from other bars/sets but this is something i would recomend to anyone looking at sound bars under $500.

    Alright, maybe I should have purchased the Arc. But this sounds leaps and bounds better than the TV speakers and the sound bar I had previously. Sonos has been going through a rough patch lately, but they're coming back and are the only game when it comes to seamless, wireless sound systems. Pair this with the Sub Mini for best results.

    Great sound bar. I wanted the arc for our RV too but I chose the beam! We currently have an array of Sonos products throughout the house and our business. The beam is outstanding especially when it comes down to space savings. It offers similar performance as the arc but in a smaller package.

    This is an excellent sound bar! The sound is amazing for being so compact. I don't know how well it would fill up a large room, but for a small apartment its all you need. Was also really impressed with the amount of bass! Its all you need without breaking the bank!
