Beam Gen 2 Streaming Powered Soundbar
Sonos
Community verdict
The Sonos Beam Gen 2 earns high praise as an exceptional compact soundbar that punches well above its size for TV dialogue clarity, rich warm sound, and effortless setup. Most buyers consider it the sweet spot in the Sonos lineup, offering fantastic performance for small to medium rooms and seamless expansion with surrounds or a subwoofer. However, several reviewers note that unlocking its full potential requires an iOS device for Trueplay tuning, and its virtualized Dolby Atmos cannot replicate true upfiring speakers.

The Beam is smaller than I expected but produces very good sound and surprising bass from a relatively small enclosure.
Every song sounds warm if that makes sense. As in, not distorted, not tinny, not shrill or muddy. And the dialogue in content is so much clearer now.
No more closed captions! Great soundbar. Super easy set up and the sound quality is so much better.
Alas, Trueplay is practically mandatory. Sonos speakers shines with Trueplay... Without trueplay the sound can be quite underwhelming...
