Great sound and quality for the price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sonos Beam gen 2 is a perfect fit for my small family room, about 300 sq ft. It’s small, packs a punch (even without a dedicated subwoofer), it does a fair job emulating Dolby Atmos, and it doesn’t cost thousands of dollars. I highly recommend it and when you get it, please do not judge it after a plug and play. You must run the calibration from the iOS app. It is impressive how it adjusts to create a perfect sound based on the room dynamics. I only wish it had its own remote so I don’t have to do it from the phone, but is not a big deal.

Works how you expect
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device gives you exactly what you pay for and I mean that in the best kind of way. Yes you can get a more expensive soundbar for a full movie experience but for day to day tv watching this sound bar works great. Be sure to utilize the app to adjust the speaker to your preferred settings. Out of the box settings were not great but after making adjustments in the app it works great. Also the connection through iPhone to play music anywhere in the house has been seamless as well. Overall I recommend if you are not looking for a speaker to provide a movie theater style experience but allows for great sound for tv, sports, and music.

Mr.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to set up…really easy. Almost plug and play. Sound is good. Think you may want to add a small sub for deeper bass. If you can manage the additional cost one of the arc sound bars may provide a better experience. .

Best standalone sound bar bang for the buck!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Good sound, clunk App
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a good quality sound bar, with good sound a bass response. Once it was set up, it worked well with our TV connected to an Apple TV. There are a few reasons I didn’t give this unit 5-stars. 1. The set up software was clunky at best. One needs to download an App for a phone or pad of either variety to access the setup software. I have some experience working with confused Apps, but I don’t think my wife would have managed to figure out how to set it up. Luckily, once the setup and connection are complete, the App is really not needed. 2. As the unit goes to “sleep” after use, so there is a small delay in response before the audio starts. Start a video, and the first few moments of audio are lost until it wakes up. I expect that I could force it awake using the App, but it seems pretty daft to need to have my iPhone around to run an app so I can listen to a video on my TV. 3. The inputs are limited. I realize that a more expensive Sonos model would offer additional input methods. Just saying this unit has limited inputs. Ultimately we have learned to live with these issues and do enjoy the audio. Since it mostly works automatically, it is a LOT better than the previous sound system I had, which was a stereo receiver. Using that system required way too many steps to get things working. So it is recommended.

Exceptional speaker at an affordable price.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Incredible sound bar for a great price! Night mode and voice enhancement work extremely well. Good bass considering no subwoofer. Atmos works well without additional speakers. Obviously, you can add rear surrounds and a mini sub woofer, but not needed unless you like to shake the walls with booming sound (I hate that).

Can you hear me now? Yes!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was worried after reading some reviews that cautioned about the Sonos app not working/causing confusion. However, I had no such problems when I setup my soundbar; in fact, I was surprised at how straightforward and easy it was, especially once I understood that I could use either my phone as the remote from the SONOS app I downloaded or my existing remote.

Great PC sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sonos Beam integrates perfectly with my LG OLED C4. Used primarily as a PC monitor, the Beam provides great sound for a desktop monitor PC setup. Watching videos, listening to music, or just PC sounds, the soundbar sounds great.

Get with the times and utilize bluetooth
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The speaker sounds very good. I cannot believe Sonos does not use bluetooth (only wifi) and this is disappointing. Having to use the Sonos app rather than simply bluetoothing to the speaker to play music is annoying and the app is very clunky and for some reason does not like to play certain songs or stations.

Sounds Amazing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wow. Just wow. In a smaller room you don't even need a sub. This thing throws sound highs and lows. I wasn't sure what to expect but I doubt I'll try any other brand after this. Setup was plug and play, super easy. The app is extremely easy to use. Recommend 100%

Great soundbar.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality is leaps and bounds better than the old Samsung bar I was using. Software is easy to use. Only issue is I have no ideas what the volume level is at until I open the app to see.

Solid improvement
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Better than the original in many ways. It was easier to set up (the original wasn’t hard, but with NFC title his one is even easier) I can’t compare sound as I have it in a very different place than my original. But I do like the sound for both TV and streaming music. It holds its own to a sound bar system that had a wireless sub that it replaced. From my perspective, if you are going to spend the money on an Arc, you really should be looking at a discrete surround system. Otherwise the beam is all you likely need and it’s a lot less expensive

Easy to get going and enjoy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound bar. We already had two Era 100 for music speakers when we were looking for a sound bar. They work really well together. The app has some limitations, but overall we are very happy with the purchase.
