    Sonos beam sound bar

    Beam is very nice. I would recommend it for smaller TVs or for smaller rooms. Has doby atmos and very easy to use. You do need a tv with eARC or ARC HDMI input. I bought this since it was in stock and the lager Sonos sound bar (sonos arc) was not. I heard the arc is nicer but does cost twice as much.

    Bought this sound bar to augment my Sony ‘Frame’ tv. Pushes out excellent sound for voices and surround sound. Excellent addition for simple setup in our loft. Paired seemlessly with the tv.

    Great sound. Sub has enough bass, I like how I can adjust the sound level of the top, center and sub speakers. Vocals are also clear.

    The Beam is a quite small relatively stumpy sound bar, but the sound it produces is the opposite. It has a very good frequency range and a quite unreal spacial presence ( which depends a lot on your source material). Whether it has the separation of a pair of individual speakers is up for debate, but it is quite impressive and accurate from quiet to quite loud. Be aware if you are wall mounting it you need to make sure it is screwed down very tightly or you will get a rattle from bass frequencies. I found the Sonos app to be finicky though.

    I kept this over the arc

    I love it. I bought the beam gen 2 and the sub gen 3. I also bought the arc and ended up taking the arc back because in my opinion it’s not $500 better than the beam gen 2. Voice quality is great on cable, streaming, etc… Sonos does voice better than any other sound bar. I kept the beam gen 2 over the arc because, while the arc is better, the Atmos isn’t so much better that I had to keep it. If you get the beam definitely get the sub too.

    If your looking for a great mid range price on a sound system you cannot go wrong with the Sonos Beam Gen2. We sent the JBL 9.1 sound system back and thank goodness we did. I don't have to go deaf to enjoy a program, the dialog is clear, the music is great as well as the surround sound. The Arc was the next step up, and if the beam gen 2 did not do it, that would have been the next step. NO NEED this system packs what you need for a family room backed up by a kitchen and nook. We will be adding some additional speakers in other rooms for the music to play thru the house.

    This is a pretty decent sound bar. Love that is able to manipulate sound. However, does not support Dolby Atmos. Not a big fan of this bar, not having Bluetooth and the rear speakers are expensive and sold singly. It’s not worth it for the price for me. Additionally, it does not come with a remote. You have to use that app for it. If you’re not at Apple user you may have issues.

    Great product in a small package. Exactly what I needed for my OLED tv setup. Only complaint is lack of vol figure display when changing it from the remote and voice clarity still sucks even with a sound bar on some movies, but that might be because of the content itself. Consider getting a subwoofer for better results.
