Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the exceptional sound quality and ease of use of the Beam (Gen 2) 5.0 Channel Smart Soundbar with Dolby Atmos. Many appreciate its convenient size and straightforward setup process, while some find the price point to be a drawback and have experienced occasional issues with the mobile application. The soundbar's Dolby Atmos capabilities and bass response also receive positive feedback.

    Really a quality soundbar. After I did the tooning thing from the app it really worked well. I have a very large living room and it ouputs plenty of sound. 37x20. I have the sub mini as well. Looking to get the era 100. Tv voice audio is way way better than my tv speakers and music is great and really fills the room. Make sure to tun the tooning thisg with a Iphone.

    I cannot believe the quality of the sound now coming out of my TV. The Sonos Beam has made such a difference in what I'm actually hearing. And to think it was Plug and Play.

    A Soundbar That Does It All

    The Sonos Beam hits the sweet spot for performance and price in a soundbar. Big sound from a small package. Easy connection/setup. The best app around. Easily expandable down the line with wireless surrounds and wireless subwoofer. Oh, and it streams music like a dream. Worth every penny.

    We added this to our existing Sonos system and are really happy with it. Fills two rooms with gorgeous sound! Easy set-up and easy to bundle it with the other Sonos device so we get sound throughout the house.

    Excellent soundbar, we have a sonos sub+ beam setup in our basement and loved it so much we had to buy one for our main living room as well. The soundbar on its own is great but I feel like it needs the bass for total enjoyment. It’s a little spendy but the bass adds such rich sound you won’t regret it.

    Excellent sound quality paired with the Sonos sub mini in my medium sized living room. I bought this to replace my stereo and 5 speaker surround system to reduce clutter, and also to move the TV to a corner in the room. Super impressed with the results! If I want to add more speakers for full surround sound, I can do that with this system. Even with only the Beam sound bar and the subwoofer, my wife asked me why it sounds like the sound is coming from all around us! I cranked up the volume to the max listening to some rather aggressive music of various types, and it was clear and satisfying...Maybe not for the immediate neighbors! LOL

    Compared the beam 2 to the Arc in the store, with and without sub. As I wanted this for music as well as TV, I felt the Beam actually sounded better than the Arc for music, and still pretty good for TV. Have since added a Sub and IKEA Symfonisk as surrounds, and the overall system is fantastic. Unobtrusive, really good definition and easy to listen to. Always thought of Sonos as being over priced and more about the multi room and streaming services. But this is a really high performing audio system and great value compared to >$1000 systems.

    Perfect integration with Sony Bravia

    Works perfectly with my Sony Bravia X90L. Just barely fits under the TV with the factory legs in the "high" position, but that's enough. Sound is great to my ears. The voice boost and whatever other sound enhancement features they have seem to do their job well. If you want something that sounds like a $1000 soundbar this probably isn't it, but I think it's a great value at its price point. Deducting one star because the touch controls on the top are gimmicky; they don't provide any feedback and there's no physical bumps or anything to tell you you're in the right place. Plus, because they react to "swipe" gestures it's easy to activate them by accident if you touch the top of the device. That said, I don't go near it very often so that's not a big deal.

    Very nice sound in a compact package for gaming, cable, and streaming. Using the app to fine tune the bar’s output for the space makes a noticeable improvement, though the sound really is quite good out of the box. I hadn’t wanted to spend so much on a soundbar, since I really hadn’t wanted a soundbar at all, but my TV’s down firing speakers are terrible, and cheaper compact soundbars didn’t work for my space. I am very happy that the Beam gives me reasonably well balanced sound in a single unit that’s roughly 2’ long. I’m not a fan of the lack of remote, since there are times I don’t want to use voice control, and having to unlock my mobile device to get to the controls in the app is inconvenient at best. I’d also prefer to have a visual numeric value assigned to the volume (there isn’t one). It helps me quickly get to the volume level I want for specific circumstances.
