Testing Every Sonos Beam (Gen 2) Setup

Thinking About Expanding Your Setup?

Bass lovers listening to heavy tracks or wanting to feel the rumble of action movies will benefit most from a subwoofer. But for the best immersive experience with surround sound and minimal neighbor disturbance, prioritize rear surrounds first.

"The standout feature for us is the soundbar's center channel clarity. Vocals project forward, ensuring you follow the action and catch subtle nuances you might otherwise miss. It even rivals the performance of the more premium Sonos Arc."
