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.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    This Sonos beam sounds great. It’s also small and doesn’t take up a lot of space.

    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.

    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.

    Coming from a Denon Dolby Atmos Receiver with Definitive Technology speakers. I wasn't sure I wanted to switch to a soundbar. That being said this soundbar with the subwoofer is very impressive. The dialogue is crystal clear with the right thumps when needed in movies and TV shows. The music just sounds amazing. It also blends well into my Google Home environment. Overall I love the look and sound that this thing produces.

    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.

    Had this for over a month now, the sound quality is phenomenal, awesome bass give you that theatrical Feel when watching a movie with strong bass. Love that it comes with an app and you can choose to play music from your phone. Buttons on the sound bar are smooth and not raised. Robust equipment. Definitely recommend. Got it on sale too

    The sound is so realistic and has a ton of depth. I replaced my 5.1 surround sound system with this sound bar and it's infinitily better. Dolby Atmos is an absolute game changer for home theater sound.

    Works very well. Note: does not use Bluetooth. Had the black originally but it stuck out too much on a white mantle on a light colored wall. Switched to the white version and made a HUGE difference. Sound is amazing, as expected from Sonos. Very nice!

    Sound is fantastic, and works in concert with our other SONOS products via their app. The APP needs work but the products are awesome.
