Sonos Beam (Gen 2). The Compact Smart soundbar for TV, Music and More. (Black) International Version, No Warranty

I own 4 other Sonos speakers and they all work together seamlessly and sound amazing. I tested the audio of this in a store and was amazed. Once I got it setup, TV audio is great. Use an iOS to setup part of surround sound. I used my iPhone and walked around the room as it made noise. Sounds amazing with movies, I'll probably add a sub which is easy. Music sounds incredible with rest of speakers, happy here.

I have a number of Sonos products and am a big fan. Had a Samsung soundbar that could not stay connected to a Samsung TV? Ditched it and replaced with Sonos. Took 5 minutes to pair -- the sound is much better -- the connection is secure -- and I was able to ditch a remote in the process!

The sound quality is incredible! The size is perfect, and it works exceptionally well. The only downside is the price, which is definitely a bit steep.

I originally rated this two stars on account of how much trouble it was to register it to my Sonos account. I was finally able to do that via the Windows app on my pc and, since doing so, can access it with no problem with the Android app on my phone and tablet. Great soundbar, outstanding sound quality, but rating it 4 stars, instead of 5, because of the trouble and frustration setting it up.

This sound bar is nothing short of amazing. I have an average size living room and it is perfect for this room. It reproduces the rear sound channels so realistically I keep having to turn around to make sure there are no speakers behind me. Projects such great sound imagery into the whole room. The quality of the sound is perfect and there is no need for a sub unless you just a major bass fanatic. I astonished a sound bar can do what this thing does.

I bought this sound bar for purpose of being a speaker. But it makes a set of privacy destroying demands for no good reason: * I cannot use this without installing the app. Ok, I reluctantly did that. * I cannot use the app without creating an account. It is a SOUND BAR. But still, I reluctantly did that too. * It asked me for permission to know my location. I denied it of course. It is a SOUND BAR! It does not need to know my location. Without granting it permission to read my location, I still could not use the app. And hence I cannot use the sound bar. This was finally too much to consider. I am not going to tell a sound bar my location so I can use it as a SOUND BAR. In the user interface, I did click on "Why does this app need my location?" (or words to that effect). The resulting explanation made no sense. I then tried to use it without the app, but could not. I am a computer security professional and researcher. So I can confirm the common sense conclusion that most everyone would come to anyway: There is no good excuse for a SOUND BAR to make any of these demands. Perhaps there is additional enhanced functionality that would be enabled by these extra permissions --- though the explanation offered by the app made no sense. But even if true, the sound bar should still have its basic functionality --- all I needed --- without these privacy destroying permissions. These privacy destroying "requirements" were also not disclosed in the description. Hence I am returning.

Easy setup, uses TV remote, so no additional remote to misplace. Can play music using voice commands with Alexa. Setting for speech, which was important to me as my hearing declines with age. All around great performance at a modest price.

Nice product and worth the money...Easy to program and does not lose signal!
