Couldn’t be happier.Here are my highlights:• Easy setup with my existing pair of Era 100s.• Sound quality is excellent — not just for movies and TV shows, but also optimised for music. This is a big improvement over my previous leading-brand system, which was good for movies but terrible for music.• Digital signal processing (DSP) is probably my favourite feature. If you’re playing music, podcasts, Twitch streams, or any other stereo media, the Sonos system applies a pseudo-surround effect. The DSP is genuinely high quality — it reminds me of the psychoacoustic effects you get with good car stereos, where the system can position the sound (e.g. lifting floor-mounted speakers to ear level).• The result is an incredibly immersive experience. The sound truly envelops you. For example, while listening to my ripped vinyl collection, the system cleverly displaces sound — perhaps by manipulating phase? You’ll hear a sound with a delay effect on it emerge first from the Beam, then a fraction of a second later from the Era 100s as the delays fade out. It’s an amazing effect that stays very faithful to the original intent of the artist — very tastefully done.• When watching Twitch, for example, the streamer’s voice is perfectly centred, while background stereo information is distributed through the surrounds. It’s natural and non-fatiguing, unlike some systems where surround processing can sound confusing or artificial.• I really cannot overstate how well Sonos has executed this. As someone experienced with VST plugins and DSP, I can say they’ve absolutely nailed immersive playback — whether the source is surround-encoded or simple stereo.• Music playback has a reel-to-reel-like quality — subtly enhancing harmonics and softening the sound, making it much less fatiguing. I find I can listen for much longer without becoming restless.A couple of setup notes:• The process was mostly easy, but the instructions could have been clearer about certain things — for example, not turning WiFi off. I initially connected via Ethernet and assumed I could disable WiFi, but the Beam uses its own WiFi to connect to the Era 100s. If you turn off WiFi, you’ll get choppy audio.• During room optimisation, the system asks you to sit in your main listening position and mark speaker positions when prompted. On a couple of calibration attempts, the chime bounced between speakers unexpectedly — possibly a bug or a “skill issue” on my part. It worked fine on the third try.Overall, I really love this system. It works brilliantly for both TV/movies and for music — especially if, like me, you enjoy an enhanced, musical sound.As someone who listens to flat studio monitors all day, it’s refreshing to have a more musical, engaging listening experience at home.Perhaps the biggest surprise is how incredible non-surround sources sound — 5.1 material sounds fantastic, but even plain stereo (2.0) sources are deeply immersive.If I had to sum it up in one word: immersive.Setup for review:Sonos Beam connected by hdmi (arc) worked as should on my Samsung UE43AU9000 TV.Connected to 2 s Era 100.App via Apple tablet and phone.

The Sonos Beam (Gen 2.) is a compact sound bar that produces a very powerful room filling immersive sound.The bass response and clarity is very impressive and the Dolby audio effects really sound as if extra speakers are playing from behind.It’s controlled with ease through the Sonos app and is great as a music streaming system as well as a movie audio enhancer via the HDMI Audio Return Channel.My verdict : – a spot on sound bar that is very good value for money.

This has enhanced the sound in our family room. Fantastic room filling sound from a small unit which produces great bass and voice levels. Streaming music from an apple device is very simple and produces great sound quality for music, even though it’s Country music ( Wifes choice not mine!)….. The price was sub £300 which makes it an even better bargain and a massive upgrade to what we had before.

I purchased the Sonos Beam (Gen 2) to pair with my Xgimi projector as a compact and budget-friendly soundbar that supports Dolby Atmos. Having used Sonos products in the past, I was drawn to their wireless ecosystem, but my experience with this particular product was a mixed bag.Setup Experience: Frustrating and Time-ConsumingThe initial setup was an absolute nightmare. The soundbar refused to connect to my WiFi network despite multiple troubleshooting attempts. Following advice from the Sonos website, I separated my 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks, which didn’t help. I even created a dedicated 2.4GHz network without a password, but it still wouldn’t connect. Ultimately, I had to resort to using an Ethernet cable, which was not the solution I wanted for a wireless product. While Sonos is known for their seamless app integration and smart setup, this was far from the hassle-free experience I expected.Audio Performance: Good, but Bass is LackingFor music playback, the Beam is decent but not exceptional. Compared to my cheaper Marshall speaker, it noticeably lacks bass, which diminishes the richness of certain tracks. That said, the clarity is impressive, and the midrange is well-balanced, making it suitable for most casual listening.When it comes to movies, the Dolby Atmos effects are noticeable but not groundbreaking. For example, in Top Gun: Maverick, cockpit beeps are distinctly placed on the left or right, adding an immersive element to the soundstage. However, the surround effect was underwhelming during dogfights, where I expected more precise spatial audio for the roaring jet engines. A dedicated subwoofer feels essential to complete the experience, as the Beam’s built-in bass just doesn’t deliver the punch needed for action-heavy scenes. I plan to add the Sonos Sub in the future to address this shortcoming.Design and Price: Compact and AffordableOn the positive side, the compact design of the Beam is perfect for small spaces, and its sleek aesthetic fits nicely with modern setups. For the price, it’s a solid introduction to Dolby Atmos for those who don’t want to break the bank. While it doesn’t deliver the premium audio experience of a higher-end system, it’s sufficient for casual movie nights and background music.Final VerdictOverall, the Sonos Beam (Gen 2) is a good choice if you’re looking for an affordable soundbar with Dolby Atmos capability. The frustrating setup process and lack of bass prevent it from being a 5-star product, but it still offers decent performance for the price. If you’re willing to invest in a subwoofer and can tolerate some setup headaches, this soundbar is a solid addition to your home theater.

Casi un cine en casa
Siempre había oído que los altavoces de las televisiones se oían regular y una vez conecté la barra de sonido lo confirmé. Menuda maravilla de sonido.Es muy fácil de configurar con el móvil y si la conectas al puerto ARC de la tele se conecta tal y como enciendes la tele, no volverás a querer escuchar los altavoces de tu televisión.Además, puedes hacer un combo con otros altavoces de la marca y generar tu propio cine en casa con sonido envolvente. Es una gran compra.

Macht Spaß! Verarbeitung TOP!
Dies ist meine erste Soundbar überhaupt. Ich bin eigentlich eher Fan von HiFi Boxen und habe große Standboxen von Canton. Wir sind allerdings umgezogen und ich brauche nun etwas mit weniger Platzbedarf. Also habe ich mich für die SONOS Soundbar entschieden. Ich muss sagen es macht einfach spaß mit dem Teil zu interagieren, es funktioniert einfach alles und ist super im Einklang mit dem Netzwerk usw. Klanglich anders als die Standboxen, ist ja klar.. es fehlt am Klangkörper. Aber ich muss sagen ich bin mehr als zufrieden, mir fehlt es manchmal an den Tiefen aber hier gibt es ja schon den passenden Subwoofer, habe den schon mal bei einem Kumpel gehört und war überrascht was da so aus dem kleinen Woofer kommt. Ich denke ich werde das System noch weiter ausbauen, Stück für Stück… ist ja nicht ganz Günstig :D… Also wer platztechnisch auch etwas eingegrenzt ist sollte hier zugreifen und die Soundbar evt. noch mit einem Subwoofer ergänzen. Ich war erst kein Fan von SONOS bin aber positiv überrascht worden und möchte jetzt am liebsten in jedem Zimmer eine Box haben 😀Noch zu erwähnen ist die Trueplayeinstellung, aktuell nur übers Iphone einzustellen aber hier wird der Klang noch passend auf den Raum zugeschnitten und man hört auch ein Raum weiter “fast” nichts mehr, die Nachbarn werden sich also freuen….
