    Great sound for the tv and also playing music. I gave it a 4 star because I had trouble 1 day where it didn't see the tv and I had to unplug it then all was great and been great since don't know why it did that.

    Loving it so far. Great sound for a medium sized living room. Also syncing with my Move 2 is so easy. Also love the white. It elevates the aesthetic and looks great below my Frame tv.

    It's amazing the sound that comes out of this small package. I was concerned that it would lack low end and the need to purchase a sub in the near future a must, but the Beam delivers. It sounds great using a pair of Ones as surrounds. I may add a sub when Sonos releases the sub mini at an affordable price but until then I'm more than satisfied with the quality of sound. Make sure you connect it to the HDMI-ARC port on your TV and control the volume with your TV remote. Simple setup!

    I enjoy listening to music and don’t qualify as an audioholic. Having that out of the way, Sonos does not disappoint with this budget offering (so called). I needed something for my loft TV without the mess of wires. This does a great job of rendering the movie soundtrack and it’s pleasantly clear with enough low end. It can be enhanced with a sub woofer for that thundering bass. I listen to lot of music, and it excels on musicality.

    Made this purchase for the form factor but remain blown away by how crisp the sound is. Big surprise was how well the lows are handled (so much so that I decided to return the mini subwoofer because it was too intense my space). The setup is really interesting and I can see it frustrating some less patient folks, but I enjoy the app very much. Awesome addition to any small, simple home theater setup.

    I'm using this in the bedroom without a sub or surrounds and it sounds very good. I'll probably get a sub at some point. Clear dialogue, OK bass. This isn't the system I'll be using for movies so I don't have the same expectations.

    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.

    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.

    Sonos Beam - Great Sound and Easy to Set Up

    Purchased this for my 42 inch LCD Roku TV, which had poor sound for voices / speaking. This was easy to set up and the sound is great. Voices are much clearer and I don't have to turn the TV to a high level, just to hear the dialogue correctly. Also sounds great with music. I have this in a medium size bedroom. If you have a very large family room or home theater, this may not have enough power, but certainly give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

    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.

    Bought from a BB outlet and I’m glad I did. Saved over $100 from the regular stocker price. One thing I will advise if you buy open box, make sure the product is reset to its original setting. I had trouble trying to sync it to the app but found out it never was properly restored. It’s easy to do that as well. No need to return if this happens to you.

    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.
