Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Sonos Ray's design is minimalist and elegant. With its compact dimensions , it fits easily into most spaces without taking up too much space. Audio performance is where the Sonos Ray stands out in its category. Although it's smaller than the brand's other sound bars, it delivers surprisingly clear and powerful sound, especially in the mid and high frequencies. Its tweeter and woofer technology delivers an immersive experience that significantly improves the sound of any TV. The Sonos Ray is an excellent option for those looking to improve their TV's sound without breaking the bank. With a more affordable price than the brand's other premium sound bars, it's an excellent entry-level option for those looking for quality without compromising space or budget. I purchased it openbox and received it in excellent condition, with no issues.

The Sonos Ray is simply a game-changer! If you're looking for a soundbar that effortlessly blends incredible sound with seamless connectivity, this is it. The audio quality is surprisingly rich and powerful for its compact size, filling my room with crystal-clear dialogue and deep, resonant bass. But what truly sets the Ray apart is how effortlessly it connects to everything. Forget about tangled wires and complicated setups – you can stream music directly from your phone or other devices via Wi-Fi or AirPlay 2, or connect it to your TV using the optical audio input. It supports a wide range of music services, and controlling it through the Sonos app is a breeze. Plus, it works seamlessly with other Sonos speakers, letting you build a whole-home audio system over time. The Sonos Ray isn't just a soundbar; it's a smart, connected audio hub that elevates your entire entertainment experience. Highly recommended!

I wanted a relatively inexpensive soundbar for my upstairs TV in my extra bedroom. I already owned a Sonos product the arrow 100 that I have in my master bath which has amazing sound. I didn't think Sonos had a sound bar that was in my price range until I saw the Sonos ray. it's only $200 when most of their stuff is $500 or over for sound bars. I will take a Wi-Fi connection for soundbar over Bluetooth any day. there's a lot less compression much more bandwidth the audio and bass is much fuller. as usual Sonos never disappoints. the sound is excellent.

This speaker is great. It’s so loud my friend got the larger Sonos speaker of this model and for me I want the rain because the price was a lot cheaper and it’s so loud. I can’t turn it all the way up in my apartment because it’s just that good of a speaker. The base is great. It’s very clear. It’s amazing. I use it on my TV that I watch anime on and man. It really brings whatever show I’m watching alive.

Overall, this thing is better than I was expecting. It is a bit of a pain to set up. Even for a relatively tech savvy person like myself. But if you can be patient and figure out the work arounds for it, it’s amazing for the price and purpose its intended it for. The app for Sonos has always been a little clunky. I have 8 other Sonos speakers in my house. So I’m used to it. The optical only option is strange so it can cause some issues if you don’t have an IR remote. My tv I was trying to get it to work with had an RF remote so I had to program my tv to get the remote to adjust volume. The remote linking feature in the Sonos app did not work because I had a RF remote, It can be done though. It just takes some digging around in your TVs settings. Once we got past that though, the sound. Amazingly big for a soundbar of this size, I bought a small tv for my odd shaped downstairs living room and wanted something in the Sonos ecosystem to pair with it. I have the beam and the arc with the sub and I have to say this thing is pretty stellar on its own. I considered buying the sub mini for it but I have decided it’s just fine on it’s own. Plenty of bass (not home theatre level or anything) and for the space it’s in I couldn’t be happier with the sounds it’s putting out. Looks can be deceiving.

Purchased the Sonos Ray Soundbar as it was the only soundbar which had the perfect dimensions to fit inside a shelf. WOW!! The sound out of this speaker is outstanding, and for a price less than $250. Sonos....you exceeded all my expectations. Who knew a soundbar in this compact package could deliver such great sound. Especially, at this price point. Added bonus, connecting the Sonos Ray to the Sonos mobile app provides more configuration and sound options. Unfortunately, my set-up was a challenge as I have an older Sonos 5 and is not backward compatible with the new Sonos App. My older Sonos App is not forward compatible with the Sonos Ray. I had to contact Sonos support, and they were able to help me diagnose what to do and how I would have to use the older app for the Sonos5 and the newer app when using the Sonos Ray. While not ideal, it works! If you're thinking about getting a sound bar and want something that's not cheap, but also not too expensive either. This one is just right for the money.

I saw some reviews complaining about the “NO HDMI” or “REMOTE” / “VOLUME CONTROL”. If you set it up like the directions say then youll be fine, it uses your TV remote to control the volume you just need any smart tv. Aside from that SONOS is definitely top of the line for quality and sound. The optical connection instead of HDMI is just as great. 10/10 recommend. Im a retuning sonos customer. Ive had the ARC and now the RAY. I love them both

Typically TV speakers pount downward limiting the sound exposure and experience. This one points outward and enhances everything. The best part was that it was easy to set up and can add additional pieces later.

Lovely sound for such a tiny soundbar. It is entry level. I have it paired with a Sub Gen 3. The combo produces an amazing level of sound I almost couldnt believe. Im looking forward to adding to my system.

Great soundbar for a smaller TV/room like an office or bedroom. Seamlessly integrates with other Sonos products for TV and music. I added this to an office TV for better TV audio as well as music streaming.

I confess, this is my first sound bar. I have a small room and am all around not a loud person. I purchased this device to even out the voices and the sound effects coming out of my TV, but I wasn’t expecting the difference this would make. First of all, it was an extremely good price, compared to the others I looked at. I also liked the fact that I could use it to listen to music and, yes, I am now able to hear what movie characters are saying one second without shaking the walls when an explosion goes off the next. Highly recommend.

This sound bar was the perfect addition to our outdoor covered patio tv. Though not officially meant for outside, we have this in a very well covered area plus cover both the bar and tv when not in use. Overall the sound quality is exactly what we needed. Only downside is not having hdmi built in so we have to use the app to control the audio as it doesn’t work with the tv we have outside, hindsight I should have bought a Samsung for the outdoor area as I know that brand works with the optical cable natively.

The best electronic equipment I’ve bought in a long time! One plug - that’s it. No mess of extra wires. I am not a tech person at all. The installation was very simple. Downloading the app and hooking this up. I found very easy. The sound is remarkable! This also has extra units that you can build onto the main unit. Multiple and unlimited possibilities. A must have!

This Sonos speaker is amazing! The sound quality is crystal clear with deep bass and rich tones. It fills the whole room—even at low volume. Setup was super easy, and the app makes it convenient to control everything from my phone. I love using it for music, podcasts, and even movies. It also connects easily with other Sonos speakers for a full surround experience. Worth every penny!

Great soundbar. Was skeptical at first because it wasn’t Bluetooth capable but it honestly works amazing with the tv and with WiFi. If you’re looking to start building a Sonos ecosystem this is a good starting point. Can’t wait to add side speakers to mine!

Great speaker. Great sound. Great value. I love this speaker. You can tell the quality and the bass. It’s pretty stellar. Kind of hard to set up at first. But still good

 I believe the Sonos read is the great addition to the Sonos ecosystem only downside being the fact that they cheap out on the HDMI arc for some reason it only has optical, which is an outdated technology realistically still works great but the quality is going to be dampened and you cannot control it with your TV remote. You will have to control it all via the Sonos app, although I have no problem doing it and it’s definitely going to be kept still really unfortunate why they would decide To do that instead of a HDMI even if it was a $30 difference to put that in I would’ve paid more happily.

LOVE this sound bar. It’s so easy to set up & even can be controlled thru the app. The sound quality is very nice & you honestly don’t need the extra smaller speakers for surround sound because this one has some spacial audio technology during set up & it fills the room. It’s so cool!

Excellent sound output for loud sections of tv and movies. With dialogue or quieter scenes, there is a lot of volume adjusting that has to occur, even with speech enhancer mode on. Overall sound quality is good once you can let the bar do its thing uninterrupted

Overall this is sleek and easy to use. Great price also! Good quality sound although it was much louder in the store we really enjoy this speaker. And will be adding other speakers to our system
