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 spacious sound for its size, but listeners wanting deeper low-end impact or more powerful room-filling performance may prefer a larger soundbar or a setup with a dedicated subwoofer and rear speakers.
Tv compatibility score
9/10 - Excellent fit for modern TVs with HDMI eARC, and especially strong with Dolby Atmos-compatible content.
Movie night suitability
8.5/10 - Immersive and clear for films in small to medium rooms, though bass impact is lighter than larger cinema-focused systems.
Music playback quality
8.5/10 - Clear, spacious sound with convenient streaming support, best for everyday listening rather than deep bass-heavy playback.
Room size suitability
Small to medium rooms
Installation ease
Easy - compact size, simple HDMI eARC connection, app-guided setup, and flexible streaming integration.
Key benefits
- Dolby Atmos: Creates a more immersive 3D sound experience for compatible movies, shows, and games.
- Compact Design: Fits neatly under most TVs and suits smaller spaces without dominating the room.
- HDMI eARC: Supports high-quality audio connection from compatible TVs with simple single-cable setup.
- Wi-Fi Streaming: Lets you stream music, radio, and audio services through the Sonos app and connected platforms.
- Apple AirPlay 2: Makes it easy to send audio directly from compatible Apple devices.
- Built-In Voice Assistants: Enables hands-free control for playback, volume, and compatible smart home tasks.
- Trueplay Room Tuning: Adapts sound to your room acoustics for more balanced playback.
- Expandable Sonos System: Can be paired with other Sonos speakers for a larger home theatre or multi-room setup.
Q: What is the main difference between Sonos Beam Gen 2 and Beam Gen 1?
A: The key upgrade is Dolby Atmos support on Beam Gen 2, plus a faster processor for more advanced audio processing. Both are compact smart soundbars, but Gen 2 is the better pick if your TV and content support Atmos.
Q: Do I need a TV with eARC to get Dolby Atmos from the Sonos Beam Gen 2?
A: No, but eARC is the best option for Dolby Atmos. A TV with standard ARC may still pass some Atmos formats, depending on the TV and app, while older optical connections do not support Atmos on this soundbar.
Q: Is the Sonos Beam Gen 2 powerful enough for a larger living room?
A: It is best suited to small and medium rooms, where its compact design and five-speaker layout can fill the space well. In larger open-plan areas, adding a Sonos Sub or rear speakers can deliver more scale and bass weight.
Q: Can the Sonos Beam Gen 2 improve dialogue for TV shows and movies?
A: Yes, Beam Gen 2 is a strong choice if speech is hard to follow. It has a dedicated centre tweeter for dialogue, and the Sonos app adds Speech Enhancement and Night Sound to make voices clearer at lower listening levels.
Q: Does Trueplay tuning work with any phone on the Sonos Beam Gen 2?
A: No, Trueplay room tuning requires an iOS device. You can still set up and use Beam Gen 2 on other devices through the Sonos app, but the automatic room calibration feature is limited to compatible Apple devices.
Q: How can I tell that this Sonos Beam is the Gen 2 model?
A: This product is the Gen 2 Beam, model BEAM2AU1BLK. The easiest way to distinguish it from Beam Gen 1 is Dolby Atmos support, which Gen 2 adds, making it the newer version for more immersive TV and movie audio.
