The Sonos Beam (Gen 2) is a compact smart soundbar that uses virtual processing to create a Dolby Atmos effect from a single bar, without up-firing drivers. It adds HDMI eARC, a faster processor and a perforated grille over the original Beam, and it doubles as a music speaker with AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect and built-in Alexa or Google Assistant. Reviewers rate it highly for clear dialogue, wide sound and easy setup in small to mid-size rooms. It cannot match a bar with real up-firing height drivers or a subwoofer for deep bass, so buyers wanting room-shaking output look at the Arc or add a Sub.

Owners and reviewers praise the Beam Gen 2 for wide, detailed sound and crisp dialogue from a small bar, and call setup and app control easy. Most criticism centers on simulated Atmos height, limited bass and the price relative to bars with real up-firing speakers.
The Sonos Beam (Gen 2) is a compact smart soundbar for TV shows, movies and games. It supports Dolby Atmos virtual sound with a compatible TV and Atmos-encoded content. When the TV is off, it streams music, radio, podcasts and more over Wi-Fi.
A faster processor handles the Dolby Atmos virtual sound. Speech Enhancement in the Sonos app improves dialogue clarity. Night Sound reduces the intensity of loud effects for late-night viewing. The soundbar has a perforated grille and can be mounted on a wall.
Setup is guided through the Sonos app. Trueplay tuning adapts the sound to the room's acoustics and requires an iOS device. Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant are built in for hands-free control.
