Sonos Beam Gen 2 - White - Soundbar with Dolby Atmos

The Sonos Beam Gen 2 has exceeded my expectations. Setup was straightforward through the Sonos app, and within minutes I had it connected and ready to use. Despite its relatively compact size, the sound it produces is impressive, with clear dialogue, rich bass, and a surprisingly wide soundstage. One of the biggest improvements I noticed was during movies and TV shows. Dialogue is crisp and easy to understand, even during action scenes, and the Dolby Atmos support adds an extra layer of immersion when watching compatible content. It creates a much fuller experience than the built-in speakers on my television. Music playback is equally impressive. Whether streaming playlists, podcasts, or movies, everything sounds balanced and detailed. The ability to expand the system later with additional Sonos speakers or a subwoofer is also a nice bonus. The only downside is that premium performance comes with a premium price, but after using it regularly, I feel the quality and features justify the investment. Overall, this is an excellent soundbar that delivers impressive audio performance, easy setup, and a polished user experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to upgrade their home entertainment system.

This thing is awesome. Sounds great, easy to setup, not too big, and works well with my other Sonos speakers. I used to have a huge amp, wired speakers, and a huge sub. Now I condensed the setup down to a Beam, two Era 100, and the Sub Mini. The new setup might not get quite as loud as the old one, but still sounds fantastic and has way more functionality with my phone/technology as well.

Before purchasing a Sonos Beam, I had a larger, different brand, soundbar. It provided a more immersive sound than the built in speakers in my TV, but I needed subtitles when watching movies because I was able to discern only about 70% of spoken American dialogue and only 50% of the dialogue in British movies. Now, with the Sonos Beam, I can clearly understand 100% of American dialogue and over 90% of British dialogue. I cannot hear a difference between the Sonos regular setting and the enhanced speech setting, but being able to tweak bass and treble settings was helpful. I no longer require subtitles when watching movies on TV. The setup, via the IOS app, is straightforward and it would have been quick and easy to get the Sonos Beam to work with my TV except that I ran into a problem. Sonos tech support was excellent. They ran diagnostics and isolated the source of the problem as residing with the TV’s accessory HDMI ports, and not due to an issue with the soundbar. - Kudos to LG support for correcting the issue in minutes, right through the TV internet connection. - Once the ports were back in service, the Sonos beam recognized my TV in seconds. Had I not had the problem with the accessory HDMI ports, total setup time for the Sonos Beam would have been less than five minutes. The IOS app is easy to use but it’s a bit awkward. Volume control is easy to find and use, but getting to the page that allows you to fine tune the soundbar is not intuitive. And I do not like the prominent advertisements for other Sonos products. Ads should not be a part of a control device. But that’s a minor point. I’m pleased with the Sonos Beam and with the Sonos company. It deserves a 5 star rating.

This was my first ever Sonos purchase. Very happy with everything from packaging, to set up, to sound quality. At the same time I also added 2 Sonos Era 100 SLs with the sound bar. With all 3 speakers we are really rocking and rolling. To set the picture this setup is used in a large open 40ftx50ft shop with a 98" tv. My goal was to get bar like "all-on" sound and boy do these speakers put out amazing sound.

Very happy with this soundbar. Setup was super easy. Way easier than I expected. I'm not technically challenged, but I have my limitations. It connected to our Samsung Frame Pro with zero issues. Without doing anything at all, the TV remote connected to the soundbar and controls the volume. The only hitch was that the mic button on the soundbar was unresponsive, so that was frustrating. However, it took less than 5 minutes to connect with a Sonos rep on a chat, and he/she had that fixed in under 2 minutes. Turns out you have to add a voice service to it..in my case, I chose Sonos Voice, and the mic light came on instantly. Although the sound is great, it really..I mean, REALLY shone when I connected my 2 Sonos One speakers as surround speakers. The app has a variety of controls for the surround sound and the volume level, balance, etc are easy to control. It would be 5 stars, but I have to remove a star due to True Play only being available from an iPhone. We have Android phones as well as an iPad Air M3, and the iPad will not function for performing the True Play. You would think that by now, Sonos would have figured out this limitation. I'm not sure how much the True Play will improve the sound as a result of this. Sonos' suggestion of borrowing an iPhone is ridiculous at best. When our kids eventually come to visit, I'll use one of their iPhones and update this review.

The Sonos Beam Gen 2 (Black) is a great addition to my Sonos setup. I already have a Play:5, Sub, and a Playbar — all still working perfectly — but the Beam Gen 2 really stands out with its compact size and support for Dolby Atmos. The sound is immersive, especially for its size, and it fits well in smaller spaces without sacrificing quality. My only small gripe is that I wish it included a secondary connection option like an optical input. It comes with an HDMI-to-optical adapter, but a dedicated port would’ve been more convenient for some setups. That said, if you're looking for a step up in features and sound, especially with Atmos, the Beam Gen 2 is a great choice. And if you want the best Sonos has to offer for home theater, I’d recommend going for the Sonos Arc.

I barely review products but felt compelled to give 5-star review. Replaced older and larger TCL soundbar and a huge upgrade. Have large living room and was worried about being loud enough, but the output is plenty loud and sounds all around great. One thing that could be a bit better is the mic for voice assistant. Is good but sometimes fails to pick me up.

The Sonos Beam Gen 2 delivers impressive audio quality — everything sounds crisp, clear, and the Dolby Atmos adds a nice sense of space that really enhances movies and music. Setup was straightforward and the sleek white design fits nicely under my TV. However, while the sound is great for its size, it just doesn’t have the full, room-filling presence I expected for my living room. It’s perfect for a bedroom, office, or smaller space, but if you’re looking for true cinematic impact in a main living area, you’ll likely want to step up to the Sonos Arc instead. Pros: • Excellent sound quality with Dolby Atmos • Rich, detailed audio for dialogue and everyday listening • Sleek, compact design that looks great under most TVs • Easy setup and smooth app integration Cons: • Lacks deep, powerful bass for larger living spaces • Not as immersive as the Sonos Arc for home theater use • Price feels a bit high for this size/room performance Overall, it’s a solid soundbar with great sound — just not quite enough for a big living room. Still worth considering if you’re in a smaller space or plan to build out with additional Sonos gear.

Just purchased this soundbar and currently it is one of the best soundbar with dolby atmos on a budget. Most Dolby Atmos soundbar that is available on the market are quite expensive. But this soundbar is quite good for my need; at first I want the arc ultra but upon seeing the Arc ultra it became clear that it is an overkill especially in my studio apartment. This soundbar is compact in size and easy to setup. However there are few things that need to remember before purchasing this, this soundbar don't have an upfiring speaker (it has a side firing speaker) and uses software processing to create Dolby atmos sound; also the soundbar don't have bluetooth only airplay. For me having no bluetooth is fine since this is mostly being used for playing games and watching movies.

Ya tenía un par de Sonos Era 100 y la Beam (Gen 2) fue el siguiente paso lógico para mejorar mi sistema. La integración fue perfecta y el cambio en la experiencia de sonido es impresionante: diálogos claros, bajos equilibrados y un audio totalmente envolvente que convierte cualquier película o serie en una experiencia de cine. La experiencia de unboxing es muy buena, se nota el nivel premium que la marca quiere dar. Incluye cable de corriente, cable HDMI ARC y un adaptador por si tu TV no cuenta con esa entrada, todo perfectamente presentado. Desde que empecé con Sonos he estado muy contento, y sin duda mi próxima compra será el Sub Mini para cerrar por completo mi cine en casa. ✅ Sonido potente y equilibrado ✅ Diseño elegante y materiales de calidad ✅ Configuración e integración sencillas ✅ Experiencia premium desde el empaque hasta el uso diario En definitiva, una compra excelente para quien busca calidad y experiencia premium en audio para su hogar.

Como todo produto da Sonos é de excelente qualidade. Como todo produto da Sonos meio estressante de fazer funcionar, precisei de dicas de IA para descobrir o porquê de não conectar automaticamente na TV com o HDMI-Earc. Mas depois de conectar funciona perfeitamente inclusive com dolby-atmos. Há como controlar a soundbar pelo controle da TV e também da TV a cabo.
