    I have purchased three different sound bars and did not expect the versatility and quality of sound that the Beam 2 delivers. It is not cheap, but the quality performance means it is good value. Happy man!

    Awesome thanks Sonos you did an amazing job! Only buy Sonos everyone, I have the Arc Sub two era 300’s as surrounds as well. With the beam I have two One SL’s as surround’s for the bedroom perfect!

    Didn't realize at first that the HDMI had to connect to HDMI ARC, and not just any HDMI. But once installed worked great.

    Sound is very clear and well balanced. I also have a sonos era 100 for music in my kitchen and both products are phenomenal. They work well and sound quality is very high

    Replaced a 6 speaker surround sound system with this Beam. Maybe the helicopters don't come in over my shoulder any more but the sound is clear and crisp.

    It works great as a sound booster for your TV in a smaller area like a bedroom. I wouldn't use it in a living room or an area that you want good surround sound, but as i bought it to boost my little 43" TV it's perfect. It's the 3rd Sonos bar i have, the other 2 being arcs, and they are such well made products

    With a small footprint this brings a big punch. I had been using my Denon receiver with Bose (center and back) and Klipsch (front) speakers and always struggled with voices on movies. With the Sonos soundbar and enhanced voice option I no longer have this issue. Great product!

    Reviews for this really oversell the quality. Maybe if you're adding additional sub and speakers it could work, but as is it pales in comparison to my basic 2.0 bookshelf speaker setup.

    This was the perfect addition to our 65' Samsung TV. It is much easier to hear dialogue over background music. Excellent sound for all types of music. Has a theater-quality sound for movies. Highly recommend!

    I bought the Beam Gen 2 and liked it so much that I returned the following weekend to buy the Sub Mini and a pair of One SLs. Watching TV or listening to music is a whole new experience. Movie soundtracks are totally amazing.
