Sonos - Beam (Gen 2) - Black

I bought this Sonos Beam and replaced an Yamaha ATS-1080 with it. It’s a legitimate upgrade that offers superior sound quality. One of the issues I had with my Yamaha was hearing dialogue when other things were on like an AC unit Dishwasher etc. And I couldn’t get it loud enough without disrupting my neighbors on the other side of the wall. When you increase the sound for dialogue, you increase everything like Bass etc. The dialogue frequency is far greater on this Beam and I can get it the right level without it being disruptive. I’ve read comments about less than impressive bass sound. One of the huge selling points on Yamaha ATS 1080 is the subwoofers inside of them that give it its bass sound. The Bass on this unit is just as powerful if not better. I think it’s better. So don’t let those comments dissuade you. I bought this with the Sub Mini and Sonos ones. I watched Maverick and Titanic and sound between the three are amazing. And more than enough sound for a one or two bedroom living unit. I went with Sonos because I really look at Sonos and Bose as the top two and everyone else below. I bought my Dad a Bose because it came with a remote and he doesn’t like using his smartphone. With Sonos it doesn’t come with remote, everything is done on the phone. So got him Bose, purchased my first Sonos unit and am enjoying it. The only other negative about this unit is you can turn it off. It remains on all the time. The constant power and smart phone use didn’t bother me

Sonos is the way to go… Do yourself a favor and keep adding this brand to your home and use the Sonos app. To play music throughout home with ease!!! Nothing better than Sonos Beam, Arc, subwoofers, move etc. Easy control on your phone… especially for mature folks not as tech savvy…And it’s hard to beat this sound quality. Sonos does cost more, but you will get the best quality/value/sound period! Not woth trying to save $$$ to compare to mediocre systems that don’t allow the best experience or growth. I’ve tried all the higher end products.., and I’m sticking with Sonos now! Beam is good for small rooms/low ceilings and the music is great, If you want more bass/bigger surround feel splurge for the ARC w/the Sonos subwoofer especially if room is large or vaulted ceilings.

Love this sound bar! I purchased the Beam. Good price, got on sale. Exceptional sound quality! Easy setup. It paired very easily with my LG 65 OLED EVO C3. I like using the app to adjust settings so I don’t have to worry about keeping track of a remote.
