    For such a small sound bar it packs an amazing punch. Works perfect for gaming, movies, and regular television. Was very easy to set up and I will be running Sonos speakers from here on out.

    Living in an apartment, I wanted a soundbar that could give me a movie theater experience without disturbing the neighbors. This is the perfect bar for that (or for those in small houses) as it delivers excellent audio while not being too much. The Sonos technology scans the room to optimize sound output and I swear this one bar sounds like surround sound sometimes. Paired it with the Sonos mini sub and it is an excellent combo.

    I purchased the Sonos Beam for my bedroom and just like most of all of other reviews it has delivered everything I wanted. I’ve now got crisp and clean dialogue and a great stereo image moving objects to the front left and right of the room that my tv just couldn’t do. I also got the mini sub and rear surround speakers for a complete 5.1 system. Super easy to connect and get going!

    Solid sound, amazing ease of use and integration to my Sonia system. The compact size of this is very attractive as I didn’t want a 35” long sound bar. It’s typical Sonos - very good sound but not amazing!

    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.

    All you really need for a soundbar. If you are looking for sleek form factor with an amazing sound, Beam is the way to go. Movies and shows along iwth music sound so good with this.

    I replaced two old TV sound bars with Sonos Beam Gen2. They are Super Easy to set up and the Sound is awesome. Such a big improvement. We can now hear what people are saying, It also connects to my iPhone and I play music through the soundbar and two separate speakers I have placed in other rooms. Robust! Awesome Sound!

    Overall a great sound bar. I upgraded from a Sony sound bar from 2017 and this one is farrrrr superior. Sounds are really crisp and sounds like a movie theater. I made it surround with the sun and the 2 side Era 100’s which sounds phenomenal in my bedroom. Only down side is it’s not super loud for music when tryna get pumped. But the quality comes first with this product and it won’t get too loud if it’ll get distorted. Still great

    Great product. Really fills the entire room with sound, just enough bass without a sub. I paired with 2 era 100s to really get a great surround sound! Easily connects to tv and Bluetooth for streaming music, great product!

    Nice bar. Clear sounds and has plenty of bass if needed. Clear sound and nice expanded sound if needed. We chose this one over the Bose. This unit does not have Bluetooth hookup but that's ok with us. You have to use the Sonos app to setup and adjust.

    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

    The moment I installed the new Sonos sound bar my ears went on a journey I'd only experienced in a movie theater. Music and voices came alive and and felt totally integrated with the action on the TV screen. But it did't stop there, it also seems to enhanced the quality of the colors and tones coming out of the TV. I had to pause and pat myself on the back for my choice!

    The sonos beam is a great soundbar. It looks good and sounds amazing. Easy to setup but unfortunately the app can be a bit laggy. The app allows to control volume but also change EQ settings. The feature i used the most is voice booster to hear people talk in movies. Highly recommend for around $350
