    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.

    Beautiful Soundbar/Depends on Room

    This is a beautiful soundbar as soundbars go. Setup and integration was a snap. You definitely need the subwoofer to feel the bass. It make a huge difference (the mini was fine for my purposes). The sound and vocals are crisp and clear. The app is fairly easy to set up and use and allows for a fair amount of customization of the sound. For the room I had this in (a kitchen) I was disappointed with the surround sound and Dolby Atmos sound. I even used the iphone app to customize it for the room. I replaced it with the Bose 600 and 500 bass module. I could hear the difference. Bose is providing a wider sound stage for me. I have found the Bose app and the connection to the TV a bit wonky, troubles I did not have with the Sonos. I do recommend the Sonos, but you need to listen to it in your room.

    I love my new Sonos sound system. It’s amazing and the sound is full, with brilliant highs and thunderous lows. I can’t wait to expand my system to include additional speakers for my walls to get a true theatre like experience.

    Quick and easy is a goal of mine when I buy a new electronic. The SONOS soundbar met that goal and much more. Connection was simple and the app made it quick to startup. I look forward to adding to my SONOS system with wireless speakers.

    Sonos Beam (Gen 2) - A Very Satisfied Customer.

    We were looking for a soundbar for our living room TV. The advisor showed us the Sonos Beam (Gen 2) with Dolby Atmos. The difference in the sound quality of the Sonos Beam compared to that of the less expensive brands was immediately apparent. The dialog was much clearer at all volume levels, and the features available on the Sonos Beam far outclassed those of the other sound bars we previewed. The Sonos Beam is a bit more expensive than other sound bars, but in this instance, the additional cost is well worth it. You won't be disappointed in this quality addition to your entertainment center. We were so pleased with the performance we later purchased a Sonos wireless speaker to complement the Sonos Beam.

    Best value in the Sonos lineup

    Great soundbar and the best value in the Sonos lineup. I have a lot of Sonos products, but they cost a premium. You are paying for the app and the ecosystem, which the Beam fits into well. If you want the Beam for your main movie watching tv, you may want to add the subwoofer or wait for the expected smaller subwoofer, which is rumored to be coming out this year. On it's own, the Beam has decent bass, but doesn't compare to having the sub, which is a great sub. The Gen 2 is a step up in design and sound. It replaces the fabric grill, with a metal mesh, which is easy to clean. The Gen 1 fabric collects a lot of dust.

    I was in need of a sound bar with minimal cords and came across this item. It's good for a medium-sized bedroom. I wish it had more bass but the sound is still clear and nice. I deducted a star because it is expensive. You can get a whole sound bar with side speakers at the price of this one sound bar but as I said I was looking for something with minimal cords so I paid the price. Outside of the cost this sound bar is great and I love that there are other speakers you can connect it to for purchase to customize to whatever sound you're looking for. I also love how easy it was to set-up and connect my tv and phone too. I do think that the ARC is tons better I went into the store and tested it but since I'm in an apartment it would be way too loud. I would recommend this sound bar for apartments or small/medium bedrooms definitely not a living room by itself.
