Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Wry easy to set up and sounds great. Intend on adding to a whole house system, using the base system that goes with it.

Works great and sounds amazing. Just doesn't have Bluetooth.

Quality is simply lovely, design is awesome. Sound is perfect. I think is the best purchase that I ever made in my life with sound bars. I was trying with Bose and Harman Kardon and the quality was good enough. When I switch to the Sonos Beam the feeling is totally different I love it.

This thing is fantastic I put this in my bedroom which is 12x20 and the rich sound that comes out of this product is fantastic. The only problem I'm having is I can't seem to get the Bluetooth to play just music through it even though I downloaded the Sonos app for some reason it just won't find it when it's searching for Bluetooth connection.

Great sound quality very well made easy to use highly recommend

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

Awesome sounder for the size, this paired with a Sub Mini is a truly amazing experience for the money and size.

Helpful making the sound distribution better in our room. Better control for hearing impaired.

Great sound. Easy to set up! You won’t regret this purchase.

I live in a townhouse and the sound on this Beam Gen 2 sounds amazing. Movies are incredible, music sounds great. Im surprised how big the soundstage sounds for such a small Soundbar. I know some people complain that it is not loud enough, that could be that your channel input is set on stereo instead of dolby 2.0 or dolby atmos. I had that problem and once I changed the channel the sound doubled in loudness. Also I love the nightmode feature where it surprises the loud sounds, I have next door neighbors and like that I can still watch movies without having to disturb those around me. I think this Soundbar is great for a small to medium size living room, its plenty loud for me and I never go above 50% volume since its plenty loud enough without shaking the walls.

Good sound quality, easy to use and pair it with TV.

The Beam 2 was very easy to setup and the TV and streaming music sound in our living room is now amazing! We have an LG 4K TV that seamlessly integrated into the Beam 2 and our CATV provider. The only issue is we haven't figured out how to get the volume level to appear back on the TV screen when we adjust it. Full disclosure, we already had owned a Sonos Amp which was driving a pair of (non-Sonos) indoor ceilling speakers in our living room, but only for streaming audio services via our cell phones (no TV connection). So we purchased the Beam 2 to integrate with Amp and those spreakers, as rear surround sound speakers, and after a couple of tried, we got it to work, and it's amazing.

System installed in an open area family room adjacent to a kitchen and nook area. Family Room 20’x16’. Essentially, plug in, follow intuitive app install instructions & learn the easy to follow instructions to play the system from the TV E-Arc connection & your favorite streaming app. Immersive, high end audio experience. Buy bigger & more expensive if you want to. I took the minimalist approach for the white decor, size & decor. The appearance & audio experience not only met my expectations, but far exceeded them. I tried the Era 300 for the room size. The speaker footprint looked out of place and the audio was overkill for what I wanted for this room. Of Note: I use the Era 100 as surround sound speakers. You can adjust the audio level for music and TV in the surround audio setting. Go to the sound section for all the audio settings & have at it to your liking. Lots of questions about the Beam E-Arc cable to the TV (me: LGC1 65”) cutting out the use of Bluetooth headphones (For me: AirPod Max) connected to the TV. My solution: from the Beam, connect the male end of the hdmi cable, not to the E-Arc port of the TV, but to a 2nd hdmi cable that is female on one end and male on the other. Get the length of your choice. Plug the male end into the TV E-Arc port. I taped the cord mid level on the back left side of the TV with plenty of length & slack on the female end. Insert the beam male end into the female end and subsequently received immediate Sonos Beam connectivity using the TV & music app. With the TV in the off position, I reach around inches to the rear left side of the TV, pull on the connected hdmi cords & disconnect them. The cords remain within inches of each other for later reconnection. With the E-Arc cable unplugged, the TV resorts to its audio and bluetooth settings. This allows me to watch movies after hours, using the bluetooth headphones. After movie watching, I turn off the TV, take 10 seconds to reconnect the cables and I’m back online with the Sonos system. Remember, it’s TV E-Arc enabled devices sending audio over an hdmi cable to home theatre sound systems (ie Sonos systems.) Hope this is helpful for someone out there.

Sounds really good. Would recommend to anyone. Easy to set up.

E xcellent sound, can even hear whispers loud and clear. Easy to operate.

great sound quality bar. very happy with it. it is compatible with most tv's, and dvd's.

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 !!

love it has great sound easy to install and we only got the beam for now but love the fact can add more pieces to it later

I was impressed with the overall sound but it was a bit pricey $$$. Upon setting up the device i realized there's no on/off button nor a physical remote control, i had to use my phone as a remote which is a pain especially when you'd like to put the phone away, chill and watch a movie. The very next day the device didn't recognize that it was connected to my television, so i called tech support and they told me it was a bad HDMI cord. WRONG! The device suddenly started to play after a few hours, so id say that is definitely a connectivity issue. I was also told you could pair the device with your smart tv w/o a HDMI or optical cord. WRONG AGAIN!! It does not do what other soundbars do in this price range. WEIRD! After all these things happened I was no longer feeling it. IT'S A NOGO'S FOR SONOS
