Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the exceptional sound quality and ease of use of the Beam (Gen 2) 5.0 Channel Smart Soundbar with Dolby Atmos. Many appreciate its convenient size and straightforward setup process, while some find the price point to be a drawback and have experienced occasional issues with the mobile application. The soundbar's Dolby Atmos capabilities and bass response also receive positive feedback.

    I ended up having an amazing experience at Best Buy thanks to a manager, Elven, who truly went the extra mile for me, and during the Christmas rush which was even more impressive. It's experiences like these that keep me coming back to Best Buy and recommending, if you can get it at Best Buy, there’s no need to get it anywhere else. Elven’s commitment to customer satisfaction was exceptional.

    Great sound and easy setup. I ended up trading it for the arc because I wanted the upward firing speakers. Best compact soundbar though for the price IMO.

    Out of all of the sound bars I tested, this seemed to hit all the marks for me. Ended up buying two, one for the living room and one for the bedroom. Have each room setup with two Apple HomePods to somewhat create a surround sound (I only use Apple TV - this wouldn’t work otherwise).

    Love the sound this thing cranks out. Crystal clear dialogue, sound stage fills the room. Has Alexa built in. Casting to it from Spotify is effortless, music sounds so nice from the Beam. We later added the Sub and two One SLs as rear speakers... totally transformed the living room into a home theater, without a receiver and without running any cables. Very happy with this purchase!

    I’va had this soundbar for over a year now, and i totally LOVE IT! I’va always hated the TV sound, cause speakers are on the back and not front. And that makes the sound really bad, since what you hear is what bounces on the wall. The soundbar really changed everything. Watching tv is much more pleasant now.

    Excellent soundbar especially for the price point. I usually always buy Bose when it comes to speakers all around, decided to give Sonos a chance and I am very pleased with the quality and sound of this relatively small speaker. Perfect for my bedroom.

    Great sound all around but remember you have to add rear speakers if you want total surround sound but I'm very happy with it as a stand alone for the TV. I did purchased the Mini-Sub with it though to get an even better sound.

    Fantastic upgrade for any TV in a small room. If you don't have an apple device to set up TruPlay calibration, borrow one (we used my daughter's iPhone 13 pro max), set up the app, set up TruPlay, done. You don't have to stay connected to it with the app for the feature to work. It's a one and done thing.

    Great soundbar! Sounds very clear and can be very loud with no distortion. I have it paired with the mini woofer and two home pods and it’s like I’m in the IMAX theaters only thing it’s expensive:( well worth the money!

    The sound on this is incredible. It loses a star because the setup is a total PITA. Sonos requires the device to connect to the internet via WiFi to be able to set it up. I had it plugged in via ethernet but it still couldn't setup. However, they have issues connecting to mesh networks so I actually had to set up a separate Wi-Fi network just for the soundbar.
