The Sonos Beam (Gen 2) – Black is currently on sale for $399. This soundbar offers high-quality audio even at low volumes, with advanced audio processing that ensures balanced sound from wall to wall. The Night Sound feature in the app reduces the intensity of loud effects and enhances quieter ones for late-night viewing. Oscar-winning sound engineers have fine-tuned the soundbar for crystal clear dialogue, and you can turn on Speech Enhancement in the Sonos app for greater clarity when characters whisper or during action scenes.
Trueplay tuning technology adapts the sound according to the unique acoustics of your room, though it requires an iOS device. Setup is straightforward, requiring only two cables and step-by-step guidance from the Sonos app. The Beam (Gen 2) features a faster processor that supports Dolby Atmos, creating a virtual sound experience with two new audio paths. The soundbar also has a precisely perforated grille that blends seamlessly into your home decor.
For hands-free operation, you can use Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant to set timers, check the news, and control smart home devices. There is also an option to mute the microphone, with an LED light indicating when the voice assistant is off. The soundbar supports streaming of music, radio, audiobooks, and podcasts from various services with detailed stereo sound that fills the room. Dolby Atmos creates a 3D sound effect, making audio experiences like planes flying overhead or footsteps moving across the room dramatically realistic, provided you have a TV that supports Dolby Atmos and Atmos-encoded content.
