    Sounds great and takes up little space. Super easy to set up also. The Best Buy rep that helped us was knowledgable and helped us pick the right soundbar for our needs.

    If you want an immersive and diverse sound system, this is the one for you!! What we did is that we got this soundbar for our tv/living room. We live in a spacious 2bed. If you are on a budge you don’t need the other speakers but…you WONT regret it. It’s all connected through an app and you can place the sound bar as your main in living room with speakers behind you or around the room for a really in depth and immersive sound music and movies. My review for the speakers will be another time but I’ll let you know now that is so worth it. You can connect the speakers around your house/rooms for a mood setters when guests come and it really sets your home up! 11/10

    Great speaker for the surround sound system and the PlayStation room. Bought the era 300 to go with it after mistakingly buying the move to and the era 100 which does not sink as a surround sound with the bean please be careful when trying to get these to work together, get the era 300. They only pair with Dolby Atmos something or another And the other two don’t.

    Great sound. Enhanced voice quality as well. Has a surround-sound feel as well. Easy installation. Power cord and one HDMI connection )cable included, as well as an Optical Cord). No remote. Your Tv set-box remote or TV remote controls the Sonos Beam.

    Good Option for Basic Home Theater

    In my (humble) opinion, this sound bar is a nice fit for those looking for a more affordable, first step into a home theater sound upgrade. I bought mine for a small living room area that is approximately 11‘ x 13‘. I don’t need an overpowering, expensive system for this space - I was simply interested in finding a sound bar that would provide fuller sound for movies and other programming. This sound bar hit that nail on the head! The only suggestion for improvement I have would be for the volume level to appear on my TV screen, rather than the need for me to check the app on my phone to get that piece of information.

    It works amazingly. We live in a spacious apartment and it sounds amazing. The set up is a bit tedious but definitely worth it. Can be used with or without the subwoofer. We’re choosing to get it soon since we enjoy a lot of bass but the speaker itself without it sounds spectacular. Worth the price. Plays music and movies beautifully.

    Almost went with Bose counterpart, glad I trusted my gut and went with this beast. Stellar sound quality and packs a clean punch. Have in a converted garage and honestly, may not even need a sub. Easy to operate and just works without a bunch of bloated options and settings. The Sanos bracket for be beam is sharp and a great addition.

    The Sonos Beam Gen. 2 is a wonderful soundbar! I wanted a solution for our bedroom that wouldn't require a subwoofer or surround speakers to provide a rich soundstage for watching TV and movies in bed. The Sonos Beam gen. 2 more than provides. It's design is unobtrusive and its available wall mount bracket really helps add that nice finishing touch when under a wall mounted tv. My space between the foot of the bed and TV is just over 2 feet so it works perfect for the limited space. The nice thing about Sonos is that they offer subwoofers and surround speakers to add on to the system if/when you desire them. Sonos speakers will automatically relegate the heavier lifting to the other speakers as needed when you add to the system. If you just use the Beam by itself, it is very competent on its own, providing a rich soundstage with satisfying bass and clear dialogue as well as convincing surround effects. I have a full home theater system in another room so I did not need a multiple speaker system in the bedroom as well. The Sonos Beam gen 2 keeps it simple where space is at a premium, and provides clarity, fullness, and detail all on its own. I highly recommend the Sonos Beam gen. 2 soundbar.

    Excellent sound bar! Bought to use with sub mini and love the combo for my small apartment. App does have issues and can be annoying to set up, but once set up the system is solid. Also, it blends well with my decor

    Not much to say, but excellent. I have a few of Sonos items in my home and love the sound. Also, Love the fact that you can play not only your movies, tv, but your music. You can set up you Sonos to play in various rooms or just one room. I went with the Sonos beam for the size of the room. Perfect for smaller rooms.

    Can’t go wrong with any Sonos products. The Beam G2 was the perfect addition to my Master Bedroom TV setup. I do recommend buying and pairing with the Sub or Sub Mini especially if you’re putting into a larger room. Ill be buying the Sub Mini soon!!

    Love this sound bar! I purchased the Beam. Good price, got on sale. Exceptional sound quality! Easy setup. It paired very easily with my LG 65 OLED EVO C3. I like using the app to adjust settings so I don’t have to worry about keeping track of a remote.

    Sonos is the way to go… Do yourself a favor and keep adding this brand to your home and use the Sonos app. To play music throughout home with ease!!! Nothing better than Sonos Beam, Arc, subwoofers, move etc. Easy control on your phone… especially for mature folks not as tech savvy…And it’s hard to beat this sound quality. Sonos does cost more, but you will get the best quality/value/sound period! Not woth trying to save $$$ to compare to mediocre systems that don’t allow the best experience or growth. I’ve tried all the higher end products.., and I’m sticking with Sonos now! Beam is good for small rooms/low ceilings and the music is great, If you want more bass/bigger surround feel splurge for the ARC w/the Sonos subwoofer especially if room is large or vaulted ceilings.

    I love anything Sonos. My living room is on the smaller side and it’s just the right sound. Bass is great. And I was able to pair it with my TV very easily.
