    Outstanding sound. The app is a little cluttered but once you go through the setup process the results are worth it. It performs well at low volumes with clear sound for watching tv or turn it up for room filling sound watching movies.

    Bought this to replace a Sony Soundbar. The sound on this one is superior. The sound comes through clear and without muffling. Very easy setup. I also got one on sale, and used rewards cash.

    We purchased the Sonos Beam, along with the Sonos Mini Sub and two Era speakers. We have a large living room with vaulted ceilings. The sound is better than I thought it would be. You can really tell the difference when watching shows that include Dolby Atmos. Where it really shines is watching sporting events, movies, and concerts. I will say the setup can be tricky. The app was not super intuitive.

    Honestly cannot this of anything I don't like about this soundbar. I enjoy the ease of use of all Sonos products and this is an amazing addition to my game room. I returned the Ray to make the move to this sound bar and I am so happy that I did. Sound is just what you expect from a Sonos product. Did not want a sub with the system in this room and the beam has enough bass to compensate for not having a stand alone one.

    Upgraded to this soundbar when our previous Sony soundbar kicked the bucket. I absolutely love it, the sound quality is noticeably better and much more customizable to your listening environment and preferences. Having the spacial/Dolby Atmos style audio on this bar is a game changer.

    What a great sound bar! I had a cheapy sound bar prior to getting the Beam. What a difference in the sound .. the voice clarity is great, volume is perfect .. I'm real happy with this.

    Huge upgrade from my polk audio. This is a great system paired with the mini sub. I have a medium sized space and it fills it up nicely. Great for movies and for audio. Best Buy agent who helped me in store was super knowledgeable and helpful. What ultimately sold me on this is the ability to expand the ecosystem and great even bigger sounds down the line. Pairs really well with AirPlay as well. I’m knocking it 1 star because occasionally it will spaz out and not connect. But it doesn’t happen often. Overall happy with the purchase

    I'm using this in the bedroom without a sub or surrounds and it sounds very good. I'll probably get a sub at some point. Clear dialogue, OK bass. This isn't the system I'll be using for movies so I don't have the same expectations.

    I hooked the Beam up to my Sony TV and disconnected my receiver and all my in-wall speakers. The sound is great. At reasonable volumes it fills the room with clear and robust sound. I may add a wire-less subwoofer

    Got the beam Gen 2 based on geek squad recommendation when they installed my newly purchased TV. They added a soundbar mount that would fit it. When i got it, the ports for the screws to go in was .5 inches too short. So either I remove the TV from the wall to remove the soundbar mount that was installed, or just get a bigger soundbar. Spent an extra $250 and let me say it was worth every penny. I have an open concept home, the sound is clear, loud and sounds amazing.

    The set up was actually a bit of a nuisance, and I'm not sure if that was due to how everything else on my end was already set up, or if the app and general software are just a bit finicky and confusing. However, once that initial hurdle was passed, I quickly fell in love with the sonos beam. Using it is easy peasy. The sound is great. It's full and brings any movie/show and song to life. The materials are good quality, and somehow it even looks sort of nice sitting on our media console. This has been an absolute game changer and I can't wait to add to it as time goes on.

    Sonos is the way to go for those looking for surround sound options without installing numerous speakers. The sound quality is excellent and no sound bar on the market can touch it. You can go even bigger with an Arc, but the beam gets the job done in any large room. Set up is simple through the app and you can even go optical in lieu of HDMI if your prefer.
