This Sonos-integrated soundbar adds Dolby Atmos and eARC to the mix.
The Sonos Beam Gen 2 soundbar is on sale for $359 at Amazon and Best Buy during October Prime Day, a healthy $140 discount from its usual price, and $10 lower than the previous Prime Day price. The biggest draw here may be obvious — its native connectivity to other Sonos products — though it’s also a really nice upgrade from your TV’s built-in speakers.
Sonos Beam (Gen 2)
The Beam isn’t as powerful as the Sonos Arc, nor can it match the flagship soundbar’s Dolby Atmos immersion bubble. But you still get room-filling surround sound for less money — and the Beam ties into the Sonos ecosystem for added convenience. Read our review.
Notably, the latest version of the Beam also adds Dolby Atmos support, albeit without upward-firing drivers to help complete the experience. Compared to the Beam Ultra that’s $699 that has those drivers, the Beam virtualizes the effect to give you a little taste of how Atmos sounds with a pricier system. It also supports eARC for shared power and volume controls with your television, so you won’t need multiple remotes.
