    This is an excellent sound bar! The sound is amazing for being so compact. I don't know how well it would fill up a large room, but for a small apartment its all you need. Was also really impressed with the amount of bass! Its all you need without breaking the bank!

    One of the best soundbars I’ve bought. Got it on sale so that made it even better. Unless you have a huge space the Sonos Beam is plenty loud and the bass is good too.

    It's a pretty good system for the price. It seemed a louder when it was at the store versus when it was home. Not 100% impressed with it but for the cost it's okay. Great for first time purchasers for surround sound.

    Fantastic sound quality, great even for a very big room. Paired with the Sonos sub it improved our viewing experience 10 fold! Setup was so easy, no issues whatsoever, I hope to add more to the system because it’s so easy to do.

    This speaker is pretty amazing, I didnt want all the clutter and it works perfect. The Sonos app to calibrate it is amazing as well. I will update and add more speakers to this set up, to get that full surround sound through out the living room.

    I was concerned I would need a sub-woofer to go along with this, but it is great by itself. Very seamless to setup with Sonos app and also integrates well with the HDMI ARC so I don't need a separate audio control. Nice job Sonos!

    This soundbar is pound for pound the best in it's size / class. The full, bassy, sound that emits from such a small soundbar is impressive to say the least. I don't know how anybody could not like this device. I don't have a sonos subwoofer, but for my living room - it's not even necessary.

    This soundbar is great! I was stuck between this one and another and i chose this one because it was slightly less. I am very glad i chose this one. It sounds great in my family room. My wife was super impressed and the kids said it sounded just like a movie theater. I definately reccomend this product!

    It’s a no brainer

    Sonos is by far the best “small room” sound bar that you can get (in my opinion). I am fairly picky about sound when it comes to music and home theater (my main living room tv has a $8,000 sounds system) but I didn’t want to go overkill when it comes to smaller rooms. The Sonos Beam has good volume, depth and is robust. If you have other Sonos speakers this is a no brained and you already know the quality in the sound and design. The App is also amazingly useful. It just works and works VERY well. Downfall of Sonos, they only offer 1 subwoofer and the price of it is quite a blow to the wallet. I don’t own one but I have heard them and, while they are amazing, I feel that if you are going to spend that kind of money then you might want to consider a receiver with a 5.1 speaker set up. All in all, the Sonos Beam is a phenomenal step up from tv speakers. It beats all other sound bars (once again, in my opinion)

      Thank you very much for this review. We're glad the Beam found a place to fit into your lifestyle. We hope we can fill even more rooms in your home! Including that $8k system with a Sonos Port ;) - Thanks again! john.milton

    I am genuinely impressed at the quality of the audio this soundbar puts out. I have this in a medium sized room and the sound feels immersive, even without additional speakers it does a good job of feeling like surround sound. Well worth the price for the quality, and ease of setup/use.

    Excellent sound quality for such a small package. There are cheaper options that offer Dolby Atmos and include a subwoofer and surround sound speakers. However, in my experience, the sound quality and ease of use do not compare. With the Beam, you have the option of adding a subwoofer and speakers if you choose. I personally am holding off until I am out of an apartment complex. In terms of sound, I found that I needed to tweak the stings a bit to get the sound that I wanted, but that was personal preference. The soundbar worked with my C1 flawlessly when plugged into the eARC port. My only criticism is that I sometimes find dialogue difficult to make out in movies, It is often drowned out a little bit by the score. However, reading other reviews, I think this can be solved by tweaking the settings a little bit more. Overall, the Beam is a fantastic soundbar in a small package, ideal for smallish rooms with a lot of expandability options. It is not perfect, but for the price and size you cannot go wrong.

    Bought one to go with my Xbox X Series and then another for the movie room. Super easy setup through the Sonos app and I can control the Beams from any room. The sound is loud, crisp and deep to the point I still don't feel the need to buy the subwoofer. Music sounds great also, especially with high-quality remastered songs. Lastly, the bar looks great aesthetically!

    I originally bought a Bose sound bar thinking that it would be better, I was wrong this sound bar is the best sounding sound bar that I've heard. We watch a lot of movies and let me tell you this product will not disappoint.

    Thought I'd never purchase something like this, but once I had it, I cannot live without it. Sound is crystal clear at any place in the living room, and we have a few jutting corners and walls that might obstruct it. Pricey but worth it.
