    Amazing sound quality and looks awesome too. Had the ray but returned it for this one after a bit more research. Plan on pairing it with a sub mini or sub gen 3 soon!

    In all honestly, i wasnt expecting this machine to be as great as it has been. I have had it for about 4 month now and its absolutly the best thing. I ended up pairing it with the new sub mini and was blown away by the power and audio that comes from this combenation.

    The sound is great for a medium sized room. This is perfect for a bedroom or den. It packs enough punch after tuning it and tweaking the EQ just a bit. We’ve loved our Arc, sub, and other SONOS speakers … this definitely doesn’t disappoint.

    It’s nice but I have the Sonos Gen2 sub and the beam has strong base that you can’t fine tune. A friend brought over the arc it works when geek squad told me would have issues because it would hang over the table and it need to be flat. Not the case I have a Sanus stand if you set the center of the arc on the stand it does not have any issues so I’m taking the beam back to get the arc

    After much research I decided to go with this brand and I'm so happy that I did. Fantastic quality and almost makes you feel like you have surround sound. Highly recommend!

    The Sonos Beam with my 2 Sonos speakers is really amazing! Great surround sound and well worth the money! My LG would cut in and out despite everything I tried and I finally gave up and so glad I invested in my new system.

    Kinda useless without the sub

    3 stars because to me they shouldn’t even sell this without the subwoofer. It’s a great speaker, the UI on their app is great, but it has virtually no bass. I’m sure when you spend the extra $500 and get the sub, it’s a great home theater system. But without, for me, it’s like buying half of a system. I just couldn’t swing spending $1000 on a soundbar, so I returned it, got the Klipsch flexus 210 system. It’s great, with a sub, for the same price as the Sonos without the sub. I’m not saying it’s as good as the Sonos, especially the UI, but it’s good for the money.

    I was quite surprised with how good this sounds in our living room. The Atmos effect works really well and makes a really immersive experience! I can't wait to add a pair of one sl's and truly make it a home theatre experience. If you are in the market for a new sound system, Sonos is the way to go. You will not be sorry.

    Great sound. Center channel much improved in the gen 2. Dolby Atmos effect is adequate but not going to blow your mind. Looks great and for a small room is awesome. Better than your TV sound. I have it paired with a Sony A80J which is a great sounding TV but the Sonos makes it better. Sonos just makes great products, period.

    Sonos Beam (2) Good, Voice boost too weak

    Produces good music sound. Its production of TV program and movie sounds and dialogues are not as clean and crisp as advertised. The Sonos app permits enhancing voice, but it does not boost voice to a sufficient level of clarity. My old Bose 3 did a better job at that, otherwise it was inferior to the Sonos in many way, especially in difficulty of set up, and bad remote control.

    Very pleased with this purchase, really made my setup come to life. I have this bar and the sub-mini + two Sonos Ones as a complete setup. Love that it has Alexa included. However, it’s a bit of a sloppy experience controlling other devices (e.g., TV)

    It was a choice of either head phones or the addition of a speaker. After hearing the speaker at Best Buy I decided on the speaker which turned out to be the best choice. The sound is clearer, crisp and do not need to boost the sound volume all the way up for us mature people.
