The Sonos Beam (Gen 2) is the latest soundbar from multi-room audio giant Sonos, improving on the company’s original mini soundbar with virtual Dolby Atmos, HDMI eARC compatibility, and a refreshed design. 

As the Beam (gen 2) doesn't have upfiring drivers like the Sonos Arc, you don't get 'true' Atmos, but this cheaper, more compact soundbar still offers a super immersive sound that'll enhance films, games, and music. 

Unlike its predecessor, the second-gen Beam comes with eARC compatibility, which allows the soundbar to handle more advanced audio formats than before, including hi-res audio codecs.  

Like all Sonos speakers, you're getting excellent connectivity and integration with the wider Sonos network, so you can easily add it to an existing setup, or use it as a standalone speaker for your TV.
