Customers are saying

Customers value the Beam (Gen 2) 5.0 Channel Smart Soundbar with Dolby Atmos for its unmatched sound quality, ease of use, and simple setup. The soundbar's compact size, impressive bass, and Dolby Atmos capabilities are also appreciated. However, some customers have reported occasional connectivity issues, and a few find the soundbar to be somewhat expensive and would prefer it to include a physical remote.

    Impressive soundbar for the size and price. We needed a soundbar for a medium to large room and so far we're very happy. Setup was simple and the new plastic mesh grill is far superior to the fabric grill on the 1st generation model. For an even larger room I would recommend the Sonos ARC but for our needs the Beam Gen 2 works great.

    I was totally amazed at how good the speaker sounds. I purchased it for my TV on the lanai, and I was slightly concerned about the amount of bass it would produce. To say the least, I was extremely happy at the sound quality and the amount of bass it produced.

    The sound is great! The size is perfect! Cost was worth it! We had bought a different sound system from a different Company and it only lasted 6 months!

    Upgraded from the Sonos beam 1 and at first I was not that impressed. I then started watching more and more content with Dolby Atmos and I noticed the sound was filling up the room more. My family room is 12.6 by 20.6 and for a sound bar this size it was amazing how it filled up the room. Like others said, don't think without up-firing speakers you will get true atmos sound that is unrealistic, but for the price and size of this sound bar you will be pleasantly surprised. Have not true played the soundbar and my sonos one surrounds yet and that should make it even better.

    The new Sonos Beam Gen 2 is perfect for my 82 inch Sony. The set up is super easy and it sounds terrific. Also, the ability to use my smart phone as a controller eliminates another remote which makes my wife happy. My next purchase will be the Sonos rear speakers to finalize what should be a great surround sound setup.

    Great sound. Center channel much improved in the gen 2. Dolby Atmos effect is adequate but not going to blow your mind. Looks great and for a small room is awesome. Better than your TV sound. I have it paired with a Sony A80J which is a great sounding TV but the Sonos makes it better. Sonos just makes great products, period.

    I love the sound quality of my Sonos Beam. It works with Alexa for convenience, is slim and unobtrusive, and was easy to use right out of the box. I’ve used it independently and with Amazon Echo Show.

    Sonos has been getting a bad rap lately, but this has been perfect for my apartment environment. While the extended subwoofer would have been a nice, if pricey, addition. It's absence is not an issue in smaller, more 'connected' spaces. I have not been lacking for depth of sound and the clarity has been terrific. There have been some growing pangs with the device, but a firmware update seems to have corrected most issues, leaving me no complaints.

    This unit sounded fantastic in a medium/small room. Very clear and articulate. No apparent bluetooth. A bit pricey.

    The SONOS sound bar is "better" than good, but not quite excellent. Flat screen TVs have poor sound, so adding this sound bar has certainly improved reviewing. But the cost of additional system speakers to enhance the audio seems excessive.

    Sonos Beam is a great product. A little pricey, but excellent quality and clean lines. It was easy to hook up and there are some very nice features. You can control things from your phone or via your TV remote.

    Easy to set up. Great sound for a small room without need for additional speakers. Like the night sound feature which lowers bass and heightens voices so other rooms are not disturbed.

    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.

    I’ve had numerous center speakers that didn’t stand up to time or distortion at higher volumes! Sonos is amazing! Small but great sound and clarity! Can’t wait to buy more pieces to complete system. Ty
