“Great system Great sounding speaker, works well with my two sonos ones. Had to fiddle with tv and virgin box settings to stop anoying lip sync issue, but it works fine now. App lets you adjust the volume and everything else and works really well. Music from Spotify sounded great with the two ones but with the addition of the beam it now sounds even better. The only annoying thing is the soundbar is quite tall and protrudes over the bottom of the tv, it’s not too noticeable but just check the height of your tv before purchasing. This might be fixed by adding something under the feet of your tv.”

“Decide to Purchase Beam 2 to use with new LG OLED TV, which has eARC HDMI so facilitates Dolby Atmos. The connection therefore was quite simple. Had a lot of trouble pairing Beam with iPhone. In the end was advised by Smart Home Sounds to do factory reset which then paired OK. Sound performance of Beam is OK but not terrific - not great surround sound or Atmos - maybe it's too small for room -6m X 5m X 2.7 m. Anyway I could not fit larger Sonos ARC model because too wide for TV stand. Maybe addition of Mini sub would help- but it's way too expensive. Speech enhancement is very effective on Beam. I also have TV connected via optical to Meridian 218 and Meridian active speakers for music use. Switching between the Beam and optical connection is not possible and requires the Beam to be depowered to allow optical conection from TV to function, because otherwise it defaults back to HDMI. I found work-around but its not very convenient. Overall Beam2 provides good sound but could be a lot better”

“Sounds nice, works really well with the app. Currently got it in a cabinet and find it a bit bass heavy not sure how it will sound when wall mounted but really impressed with it so far”

“As a previous owner of the Beam Gen 1 (and 2x One's as rears) I was looking to get the ARC as an upgrade but after watching some video reviews I was on the fence as to whether the jump from Beam gen 1 to gen 2 would be worth it, and then whether the jump to the ARC for the additional £500 could be justified. As SMS offer a 30 day money back guarantee I thought I would go for the Beam gen 2 to try it at home instead of my gen 1. It's amazing! The sound is much more round, dynamic and has a lot more bass! the rears are definitely more reactive and the addition of Dolby Digital Plus and Atmos is noticeable over the gen 1 version. The vocals are also much clearer. I'd say that a Gen 2 with surrounds is more than enough for most rooms, I wouldn't dream of adding a sub! I'd say our front room is around 6m x 5m and the Bass is on 6/10, and that is more than enough. this is a five-star product- absolutely love it!”

“Prompt delivery, good communication and an excellent product Easy to set up and great sound. Fits perfectly with the television but also good for streaming music via Amazon prime.”

“The main reason for purchasing the Sonos Beam was to improve the clarity of dialogue, as my wife often struggles to the point of using subtitles for some television series and films. The many reviews I saw for this product complimented this aspect of its performance. When watching normal television content, there is a greater depth to the sound and the improved bass is evident. The quality of dialogue, especially with the Enhanced Dialogue setting selected, is also clear. That said, the improvement over my TV speakers for normal TV content is subtle. However, that changes when watching films with a Dolby Atmos or 5.1 soundtrack when the step up is very noticeable, giving an immersive and cinematic experience. Overall pleased with the purchase and would recommend it. As a note, I've not been able to perform True Play Tuning yet, so the performance may not be maximised.”
