    Great upgrade from your standard TV speakers

    Not bad for the cost and definitely an upgrade compared to your standard TV speakers, but don’t expect a surround sound-like experience. I knew what I was getting when I bought the Sonos beam (and the limitations of a soundbar system) but I was ok with that as long as the cost was minimal. I found this Sonos Beam on sale (open-box) at my local Best Buy so I decided to go for it. First off, the Sonos app on iOS is not bad actually. As an iOS app developer this was important to me since 90% of hardware manufacturers have laughably bad apps. Once installed the Sonos beam did exactly what I was hoping for which was to provide higher quality audio, clearer dialogue, and a higher volume range without distortion. This is about as much as you can expect from a soundbar since you won’t be getting surround sound or crazy deep bass. With those expectations in mind you’ll be satisfied with what the Sonos Beam offers and IMO it provides the best overall experience (for a soundbar in this price range) compared to other offerings in the market.

    Big expansive sound from a small soundbar with no subwoofer. Easily outperforms the Bose Soundtouch 300 with subwoofer that it replaced.

    Sonos over Bose Unless It's in A Movie Theater

    Bose has always been my go-to for speaker systems, particularly for home entertainment. I bought the Bose comparison to the Sonos Beam but it was a no-brainer in the comparison of sound, quality, and price. It's extremely easy to set up and takes less than 10 minutes and you can tell an immediate difference and for the price you can't beat the product. If you wanted to spend $1200 for the top-of-the-line Bose system then you are in for a real treat and I must admit it blows this Sonos system away but remember do you want to spend that much and do you want to listen to regular tv as if you were at a movie theater watching a action-packed film. Bose top-of-the-line would be perfect for a home theater but for quality sound that's crisp and clear and enhances your daily TV shows and sounds just as good with your music which I use at all my outdoor functions and everyone loves it. The cheaper version of the Sonos is not worth it. You must splurge to get the desired quality you and all your guests will love.

    I have two of these in my house now. Vast improvement on TV speakers, add surrounds and it gets comments all the time. Subwoofer not needed, but considering for some added thump.

    I purchased a new television this holiday season. I had never had a sound bar before. My previous tv had decent sound.... so I thought. But when I plugged the Sonos Beam into my new TV and heard the difference between tv speakers and the sound bar, I was blown away. It was like a symphony of sound. Regardless of whether I'm watching the news at a normal room sound, or a movie at a little louder sound, or listening to music at an even louder sound, the Sonos delivers. Voices are clear and kept up front so they don't muffle into the background. The background sounds are crisp and clear, and music sounds divine. It's like being at a concert. The Sonos has the power to fill my entire living room with absolute bliss. If you want to be pampered in a bubble of sound, buy the Sonos Beam (Gen 2). You won't be disappointed.

    Really great sound on a budget. Bass is really deep for the lack of a seperate subwoofer, and the simulated Atmos works pretty sufficiently.

    Amazing sound out of this little bar. I was overly surprised at how great it sounds in our large living room. Super easy to set up and I loved how the true sound feature works for an open room. Definitely don't pass on this one. The sub woofer mini made it even BETTER!

    I love sonos products and the beam is amazing! I went with the beam over the ray because of the hdmi earc and Dolby atmos capability in addition to just being a better sounding speaker in general. I didn't buy the arc because I put it in my bedroom and didn't need an arc to fill the room with sound and the price was a lot more affordable but still has incredible sound!

    I had been wanting to dip my toes into the world of Sonos products for a while and I'm very glad that I started with this one. My TV was producing more bass than it could handle by itself causing a rumbling sound, so I opted to get the Beam soundbar to remedy this. Sound is now clear and crisp and the low end is handled amazingly.
