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.

    Sounds great when placed in a wide open space. Had it in a shelf at forst and was ok, however have since mounted it on the wall and now i can really hear the difference. Love that you can buy add on speakers seperatly.

    We purchased the Sonos Beam for our bedroom and couldn't be more pleased. It was easy to setup and makes our evening programs much more enjoyable. Our bedroom tv is a 40+ inch Samsung from 2008! The picture is still great however we were having difficulty hearing the dialog. This has made such an improvement! Although the Sonos would not pair with our Samsung remote since the TV is so old, it did sync with our Fire TV remote. Now, we use that remote for volume control. We are so pleased with this Sonos that we are considering purchasing the Sonos Arc for our family room 65" TV.

    We nearly passed on this due to its price point. Also, bear in mind it's eARC. If your TV or projector lacks that output you'll need an adapter such as the 4K Arcana 18Gbps from HD Fury. The Beam Gen2 produces absolutely amazing theater sound quality. Ours is ceiling mounted and angled down using the Epson V12H808001 approximately 10 feet from our favorite seating position. Volume, speech and base quality are mind blowing, producing fantastic surround sound effects without additional speakers. We would buy it again, even for the same price. If it were any pricier we would not.

    Excellent Sound - Improvement Over Gen 1

    I already purchased the first generation Beam last year for my bedroom and picked this one up because of the ATMOS and improved voice clarity. I'm not 100% sure that I'm getting the ATMOS experience but the improved voice clarity was immediately noticeable and provides an overall better audio. I'm waiting on a Sonos Arc for the living room and once I see how the ATMOS is with that, I'll come and update my review on it for this. Either way, if you have the first gen, I don't feel like it's super necessary to upgrade but you would be happy if you did. I have these paired with some Sonos One SL for surround sound.

    It sounds so much better than you’d think a soundbar this shape and size could sound. One time when watching a movie, I thought a sound was coming from outside! But it was coming from this speaker sitting right in front of me. When I was shopping, I went to the Best Buy store and was listening to the Sonos Beam and other soundbars, and this one sounded the best even though it doesn’t have vertical-firing speakers. I’m so glad I chose this one and didn’t let the listed specifications deter me.

    Really great sound. Atmos is a great feature if you can use it, but most of my streamers don't support it. But the dialogue sounds better and easier to hear.

    The Sonos soundbar is a great addition to our Samsung TV. It enhances the sound from the TV with a more deeper, richer sound. It was easy to set up and well worth the price.
