Amazing customer service amazing sound
Saw a demo of the item store and had to buy one! Sound is awesome especially boosting the atmosphere watching normal freeway TV like the AFL or the NRL also along with its warm mount fits seamlessly under the television giving it a modern look but also ease of setup is a major bonus!!! would recommend it if you’re looking for an upgrade of sound for your TV

No auto levelling on music playback
Simple to connect to both Bluetooth and wifi. App gives great and logical control. Sounds great but not having auto levelling functionality is an issue I wish we had been told about. I know we should have asked, but when you’re paying for a premium product, I do feel we should have been told

Great Sound
Great surround sound comes from this soundbar without the need of having all the other speakers. Perfect for our small living area. Just make sure your tv has the HDMI ARC port otherwise you will need to purchase the optical adapter which doesn’t come with the soundbar.

Things to consider
It delivers impressive immersion for its size, but it will not match the room-filling bass and surround separation of larger premium soundbar systems with dedicated rear speakers and subwoofer.
Tv compatibility score
9/10 - Excellent for modern TVs thanks to HDMI eARC support and a compact form that fits neatly under most screens.
Movie night suitability
8.5/10 - Strong dialogue clarity and Dolby Atmos immersion make it very good for films, though deeper bass requires extra speakers.
Music playback quality
8/10 - Clean, room-friendly sound with easy Wi-Fi streaming, best suited to casual to enthusiast listening rather than bass-heavy specialist setups.
Room size suitability
Best for small to medium rooms
Installation ease
Easy - straightforward setup with HDMI eARC, app-based guidance and seamless Wi-Fi integration.
Key benefits
- Dolby Atmos: Creates a more spacious and immersive sound field for movies and supported TV content.
- Compact Soundbar Design: Fits neatly under most TVs and suits smaller rooms where space is limited.
- HDMI eARC: Supports high-quality audio from compatible TVs with a simple single-cable connection.
- Trueplay Tuning: Adjusts the sound to better suit your room for clearer and more balanced playback.
- Wi-Fi Streaming: Lets you stream music through the Sonos app, Apple AirPlay 2 and supported services without relying on the TV.
- Voice Assistant Support: Enables hands-free control with Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa for playback and smart home tasks.
- Expandable Sonos Ecosystem: Can be paired with additional Sonos speakers later for a larger surround or multi-room setup.
- Capacitive Touch Controls: Makes it easy to adjust playback and volume directly on the soundbar.
Q: Do you need a subwoofer with Sonos Beam Gen 2
A: No. Sonos Beam Gen 2 works as a standalone soundbar for clearer TV dialogue and a broader soundstage than built-in TV speakers. A separate subwoofer is optional and mainly suits buyers who want more low-end weight for movies or bass-heavy music.
Q: Will Beam Gen 2 still work with a TV without eARC
A: Yes. Sonos Beam Gen 2 is designed around HDMI eARC, but it can still improve TV sound through a TV's ARC connection. Dolby Atmos depends on the TV and content path, so older sets may fall back to standard surround rather than Atmos.
Q: Does Beam Gen 2 use Bluetooth for music streaming
A: No. Sonos Beam Gen 2 is built around Wi-Fi streaming through the Sonos app, Apple AirPlay 2 and supported music services rather than Bluetooth audio. That suits home streaming and multi-room use, but it is less convenient for quick guest pairing.
Q: Can you add rear speakers to Beam Gen 2 later
A: Yes. Sonos Beam Gen 2 can be expanded later with other Sonos speakers for a larger surround setup or multi-room audio. That lets you start with the soundbar alone, then add rear speakers or a subwoofer if you want more scale or bass.
Q: Is the Sonos Beam Gen 2 good for apartment living
A: Yes. Sonos Beam Gen 2 suits small to medium rooms and gives fuller sound than built-in TV speakers without needing a large cabinet or separate receiver. Bass is lighter than a bigger soundbar system, which can be easier to live with in shared-wall spaces.
Q: Can Sonos Beam Gen 2 play music without the TV
A: Yes. Sonos Beam Gen 2 can stream music over Wi-Fi through the Sonos app, Apple AirPlay 2 and supported services without the television turned on. Once it is on the home network, the TV does not need to be running for music playback.
