5.0 out of 5 stars I’m very happy!!

I had my heart set on the Arc Ultra, but didn’t want to shell out nearly twice as much. I was worried I would be disappointed after going to numerous stores and listening to the both side by side. The Arc is definitely a superior product but that doesn’t not take away from how great the beam is!! It was going to be between getting the arc on its own or getting the Beam, Sub Mini and 2 Era 100’s. I am so glad I went with the later!! The era 100’s added so much to the whole thing. I think the beam is great, but I do think that it is much better when paired with a whole system. Also, set up was super easy! Literally just plugged it in and connected via the app and boom!

I held off on becoming a Sonos house for years. They are costly, proprietary, a walled garden. But, I've been searching for whole house systems for 20 years. WISA was promising but never went beyond 5.1 speaker configurations. I had wired my house with speaker cable all back to an Onkyo receiver but that only had two zones. I figured after 20 years, things would not get better anytime soon. I splurged on Sonos Arc Ultra, ERA 100 and 300 pairs, Sub and Mini Sub, Move 2, and Beam Gen 2. Now I can play throughout the house including outside.Sonos is not going to rock your house. It's not that loud. The bass is not room shaking. Everything is just nice. I replaced Kef, Polk, and JBL speaker with these. I do miss the very loud volume for some music but overall, Sonos works for gatherings and movie watching.The Beam Gen 2 does not support Trueplay with Android phone apps. This is a Sonos feature available on the Arc Ultra, Move and other speakers with microphones. To set up the speakers for optimal playback in a room, you need to use an iPhone as that will simulate Trueplay. After all these years, Sonos still doesn't support Android sound management.The Android app is still difficult to use as of June 2025 after last year's update. It's still missing features like list scrolling in music library. There are so many issues with the new app but I'm hopeful these will be corrected in 2025.I compared many, many other soundbar systems both in store and on the web and was almost set for a Sony or Samsung soundbar. A couple of things stopped me. Most major electronic companies have confusing lines of soundbars and this makes it difficult to compare features and value. I was also confused about whether the soundbar would even work with my TV ARC connected as specs showed ARC, eARC, optical, and were basically not specific about TV brand and compatibility. I purchased the Beam Gen 2 just as Sonos announced a 25% price cut. For a bit more money, my initial $300 soundbar purchase turned into the Sonos Beam.The Beam does produce low frequencies without a sub and that was a nice surprise. Dolby Atmos support is OK but there are no upward firing speakers so I don't really notice Atmos on a Beam, unlike the Arc Ultra and ERA 300 system downstairs. There is voice enhancement for streaming video and it's very good when viewing news and movies. This is the second Beam for a spare room. The other Beam includes the Mini Sub and a pair of ERA 100's but I don't notice much of a difference in the sound field for most television programs.

Great soundbar!! Really good sound with music, and watching tv! It’s small and compact but that doesn’t take away from the quality. Very happy with this purchase. Set up was also very simple, I like that it has controls on top, and the app is pretty cool, still learning it but really like it so far.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! More than I expected.

When I first connected the sound bar I was underwhelmed by the lack of low frequency output. Down loaded the Sonos app and performed the Trueplay procedure. What a difference! No, it isn’t as dramatic as a what sub woofer could produce but I am very happy with the balanced sound it provides. The clarity of dialog and singers voices is really outstanding. I had been using a pair of Klipsch bookshelf speakers connected to the TV. They were just ok, better than the TVs speakers but nowhere near the output from this sound bar. I’ve shied away from soundbars with subwoofers because of the gimmicky, artificial sound they produce. The standalone Sonos Beam in my mind delivers a more natural sound experience. A surprise was the ability to stream music content from my mobile device as well as content from the Sonos app.I’m a 78 year old senior. If I can navigate the technology there is no need to fear it. Every thing in the set up was straight forward with absolutely no glitches.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Buy

Absolute horrible experience. I like the sound of Sonos and have many family members and friends that have older setups. The new App is the problem. Horrible communication making it impossible to setup speaker system. Since early 2025 the Sonos App has been awful with no support and you can not just plug and play with this system. Highly frustrating. I would not recommend this product to anyone until Sonos takes value in their customers and listen and work out all the issues.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great sound for the money

The Beam was fairly easy to install - once I found the right setting on my 8 year old flat screen TV. Customer support was very good: patient, helpful, etc., but because my TV was so old they did not know the right setting to change to enable the sound to be sent to the Beam. After I hung up with them I went through all the settings and found the correct one. The BASS is very good - and the sound clarity for speech makes it easier to understand the dialog even with SOME accents. That means I don't always need to turn on subtitles when my wife is watching a program with me.

I almost bought a cheaper brand, but so glad I didn’t. This is the best sound bar I’ve ever had. Easy to set up, fantastic sound quality, and the speech enhancement option is a game changer. Looks great as well.

A Company that Focuses on Audio and Premium Quality

Was hesitant on getting just this speaker. I am super glad that I did though. Right now I only have the speaker so no Bass or rear speakers and I have to say, it sounds amazing. I was worried about my 16ft ceilings and it not sounding good enough, however this speaker hits all the right marks.Packaging - Absolutely amazing how this speaker is packaged and just how premium it feels.Setup - 2 cables to plug in, then download the app on an IOS Device is best so that you can do their sound sync. I was told it works better on an IOS device so have not tried it on an android which is my daily carry. After doing that I installed the app on my android and it works flawlessly.Bluetooth - This device does NOT have Bluetooth but honestly, it does not need it. I play all my music through Spotify and when being on the same Wifi my devices automatically sync with the speaker through the device list on the Spotify app.Sound - Just the speaker alone and it sounds amazing. There are features you can adjust in the app and there is a voice enhancer that you can toggle, personally I did not notice a difference when toggling it. Now the big reason I purchased it was because I needed clarity in the voices when watching films and gaming. This speaker hits all the right notes and the clarity is amazing. I do not have to constantly adjust the volume thinking it is going to get too loud or get too quiet.Summary - It is a pricey speaker but you do get what you pay for. It is great that you can slowly add more premium speakers to the setup to eventually turn it into a full 5.2 surround sound. I was looking at the Samsung and LG that came with rear speakers and a bass but when I think audio, I want a company that focuses on audio, not a company that is in every single market. Can you get more bang for your buck with their devices? Possibly but I am happy to be getting into the Sonos devices
