    The sound quality is really, really good. Not as immersive as a true system, but this sound bar punches above its weight. The technology is really awesome too. This is a great product. 4/5 stars due to cost... this is an expensive piece of hardware, not for a value buyer.

    Sounds perfect. The arc is fantastic, the beam is a step down from that but perfect for smaller rooms. I have it in my living room which is decent size. I moved the arc to a media room. Couldn't be happier.

    It’s been a month now and the soundbar has been a great addition to the TV. The only thing I hope is that Sonos makes the volume based on a number since you can't tell how high/low the volume is.

    The Beam 2 has exceeded my expectations for a reasonably priced soundbar. No, it isn't a 5-1 surround sound experience but it is much closer than I would have expected. It provides excellent augmentation of voices and enough "surround" that it is very enjoyable in our smaller bedroom space.

    Was very surprised on how well it sounded for such a small sound bar. Had an Arc in the same room before this and they sound very similar at lower and medium volume. It’s not until you really crank it up that you can notice the difference between the two.

    Perfectly happy with this, put in my large living room for TV and my music. Nice size and white sort of fades into the decor. Still working on shelving or cabinet to hide cords, etc.

    Was recommended from someone in the AV business for many years. For a family just looking to upgrade the sound and not needing a subwoofer or anything else, this has been perfect for us. We didn’t have to create a Sonos account and pairs nicely with out Xfinity remote.

    This sounds awesome!!!! Even as a stand alone sound bar, you'll be surprised at the sound. Beyond satisfied with the sound quality, a definite step up over the beam gen 1 and definitely will keep you open minded about adding to your surround sound.

    The sound is great for watching the game or a movie! Talking, even whispers are crisp and audible. Bass is a little underwhelming but you can buy the sub if that’s a concern. Would recommend!

    pricey, but good sound and of course, seamless integration w existing Sonos. If you're part of the Sonos ecosystem, it's a no brainer. If you don't use Sonos ecosystem or aren't planning to use Sonos ecosystem, there are cheaper options that sound similar.

    Great product for our use. What I don't like about it is it nullifies the LG TV's volume graph & number. The Sonos just has a + & - signs to indicate the volume is moving up or down. Volume indicator should be upgraded to show a gragh AND a number value indicating volume setting. I'm sure the rocket scientists at Sonos can make this happen, RIGHT?

    The best sound from any system ive ever heard for the orice, weight, and sound. Ive heard many that are double and triple this price that dont sound half as good and the bass alone is freaking incredible.

    Love it. This is my second beam, have one on other TV. I tried the Ray and did not care for it. Although it has a phone app you do not have to use the app to control it. You can ask it to play music and it does. Sound quality is great.
