“A great option for anyone with a current Sonos system. More impactful if paired with some surrounds (I have 2 Play Ones), and ideally a mini sub. Usual tepidation of getting it linked to the wifi (I used an ethernet cable) and then further anxiety making the the surrounds link properly to it (solved by the ethernet cable and a chat with Sonos support). This replaced an old Canton DM55, which I loved for its crispness and depth of sound. The Beam Gen 2 comes close and has more directional sound, but isn't quite as powerful. However, for an average sized living room (and neighbours to consider), the Beam does a decent job, particularly on speech. The Atmos effect and the sound in general are good and it brings movies to life. I don't think it's got much competition realistically. The app is the usual achilles heel of these things. There's the concern around how long it will be supported (for example, will my older Play Ones suddenly become incompatible?), and the app itself can be slow and not that intuitive. For example it's supposed to revert automatically to the TV sound if you turn the TV on while playing music through your phone, but it doesn't do that for me. Could be user error! Another wish-list item for the app would have the (very handy) night mode automatically turn off when you use the TV the next day. Or you can end up watching TV with duller sound before realising night mode is still on. Overall though, it's a well built, slick and satisfying all-rounder. The Arc would be great, but overkill for my room size and budget. Big shout out to Smart Home sounds who give fantastic service, put out good YouTube content and are honorable with their price matching.”

“Really pleased with the Beam Gen 2. It was easy to set up and it sounds great! I had considered going with cheaper alternatives, but I'm glad I spent a little more and opted for this mid range sound bar as it feels like a proper upgrade on my old sound bar.”

“Been using the beam for a few weeks now. It was relatively straight forward to set up and connect via the eARC connection on the TV. The setup app could not find our wireless network to start with but it did on the second attempt. Since installing it has revolutionised the sound from our LG TV. I thought it was ok before adding the beam but now you hear so much more background and peripheral sounds, movies are completely different with decent bass. Switched on speech enhancement and this means we are not constantly adjusting volume. Wish I had added this sooner.”
