Get the five-star Sonos Beam (Gen 2) as it returns to its record-low price

If you're looking for one of the best Sonos soundbars, then from a specification and performance perspective, we recommend the Sonos Arc. Unfortunately, that will set you back $599.

Enter the Sonos Beam (Gen 2), which might be smaller and older, but we still gave it an impressive five stars when we reviewed it in 2021. Even better, right now you can pick it up for only $369 at Amazon.

This is the lowest price we have seen it and a brilliant discount on an award-winning Dolby Atmos soundbar. Get it while it's still so affordable.

We loved the original Sonos Beam when it arrived in 2018; its successor is even better. The second-generation Beam (Gen 2) not only lives up to the high bar set by its predecessor but also exceeds it by a margin that more than justifies its new feature set and higher cost.

The Beam Gen 2 ups the ante with forward-facing drivers and more processing power, opening up the door to immersive virtual Dolby Atmos audio. There's also eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) connectivity, which means the latest Beam can handle the higher-bandwidth Dolby True HD Atmos format.

Atmos aside, it sounds incredible, reaching deeper than the Beam Gen 1 with more refinement, a warmer treble, and a wider dynamic range. Where the Beam Gen 1 might skim over certain complex sounds, the Gen 2 has a greater capacity to take them on, consistently resulting in a richer, more nuanced and varied listening experience.

While the Beam (Gen 2) might be small in stature, it produces a sound that is much broader than its compact frame suggests. If you do find yourself wanting a broader sound and enhanced bass, then simply pair the Beam (Gen 2) with a Sonos Sub or Sub Mini, and a pair of Era 100 or Era 300 speakers for a full surround sound setup.

If you're in the market for a sub-$500 soundbar, the Sonos Beam (Gen 2) at $369 is simply your best option right now.
