    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.

    I like how simple it is to set up with my Wi-fi. Not to mention that it has the versatility in adjusting the sounds to sound clear when watching movies and playing games.

    Speaker works well and is very easy to set up within the Sonos app. Like all Sonos products, the sound is excellent and this speaker allows me to play the sound from the TV it is connected to over the rest of the Sonos speakers installed in my house.

    Previously purchased and returned one of these, not because of sound quality but operational issues. After failed trials with competing products, I decided to try this again, and I’m glad I did. I’ve had no operational issues this time and the sound is great. I’m very pleased with this purchase.

    Great item to buy I was going to buy the more expensive one above this one but didn't think it was worth paying that much more. Very happy with the sound of this sound bar easy setup Looking forward to adding the wireless surround

    Sounds decent for bedrooms or a patio area. For sure needs to be bought with to play with a sonos sub or ceiling speakers to spread bass and treble in my opinion. Other then that yes a good quality sound bar

    Amazing bar and not that far off the original arc. Would be great in a small room. Lacks any real height effect but gets fairly loud with a wide sound stage. Most people would be fine with this and a sub mini and era 100's for surrounds.

    This was perfect for my eventual set up. Full spectrum sound. Decent low frequency range, but the ability to add sub and satellite speakers later put this over the top.

    I have two of these in my house now. Vast improvement on TV speakers, add surrounds and it gets comments all the time. Subwoofer not needed, but considering for some added thump.

    Always amazed at the look and more importantly the performance of This Sonos soundbar. Set up with the app was very quick and easy to understand. Rich bass, clear highs. Movies and music sound great. For those looking for the complete sound package you may need a subwoofer.
