The Sonos Beam Gen 2 is a 5.0 setup that's the upgraded version of the Sonos Beam. It has a similar design to its predecessor, but it comes with Dolby Atmos support. Thanks to its side-firing speakers, it offers a wide soundstage to immerse you in your audio content. Its sound profile is pretty neutral, though there's some extra punch in the bass that can muddy vocals and lead instruments. It also lacks low bass, though you can upgrade it with a subwoofer and satellites sold separately by the manufacturer.
