Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the exceptional sound quality and ease of use of the Beam (Gen 2) 5.0 Channel Smart Soundbar with Dolby Atmos. Many appreciate its convenient size and straightforward setup process, while some find the price point to be a drawback and have experienced occasional issues with the mobile application. The soundbar's Dolby Atmos capabilities and bass response also receive positive feedback.

    Sound was just ok and not much surround or bass. Have old style Bose 300 soundbar now and wasn’t even close to as good. Very disappointing for the price.

    Set up is hard

    Setting this up was a pain. When we finally did, there were a few apps on the TV that wouldn’t play sounds. The HDMI cable never worked and kept getting errors that a different HDMI was interfeering, which was not true. Had to use the “no HDMI” option. Sound is okay, but the lack of remote sucks! You must use your phone to change the volume. Exchanging for a different one.

      We're very sorry you had a rough time with the set up process. Sometimes there are some additional settings on the tv that have to be tampered with to make sure it's putting out the proper codec. As far as the remote, we don't include one because you can use the remote your already using with your tv! We walk you through the remote pairing process during set up or you could have gone back to add it anytime under room settings. We just have you press the volume and mute buttons a couple of times and that's it. You're set up using the remote you're already using. john.milton

    No Bluetooth. How do you buy something these days that's not Bluetooth compatible? And to not be told that it's not Bluetooth compatible. Wish I I realized it before the return date has passed.

    Get yourself three compact speakers like the Bowers & Wilkins M1 and a good Denon sound processor instead of this soundbar. It is okay but the treble is not accurate; the surround effect is also just okay. Dedicated three compact speakers and a good Denon Atmos receiver will knock your socks off compared to this product.

    After reading all 5 star reviews, decided to purchase a Sonos Beam Gen2. The sound is not that great, I would say is just ok, definitely not as good as described in the 5 star reviews. Watched NBA game followed by watching an action movie and I'm not impressed at all. When watching the movie, sound is rather flat...Hopefully arc will be a much better experience...this one is going back to the store

      Hi and thank you for your review. Hopefully you haven't returned it yet, as it sounding flat is more than likely caused by the tv not sending out the correct audio codec to Beam. We can almost guarantee it! That's as simple as going into the audio settings and changing it to a better audio codec to fix. Feel free to head over to sonos.com/support if you have anymore questions or need any further help. We'd love to answer your questions. john.milton

    Surround sound would not work. Found out after Best Buy drilled holes in my walls. Had to turn on the tv then hook up the Sonia beam every time we turned in the TV. Miserable experience all the way around. Like the Sonos Move. Returned everything else.
