    Great Clean and simple set Up

    The Sonos Ray Soundbar is a compact soundbar that delivers clear dialogue and balanced sound, making it a big upgrade from built-in TV speakers. It’s easy to set up, works with Wi-Fi streaming services like AirPlay and Spotify, and fits well in small spaces. While the sound quality is impressive for its size, it lacks deeper bass, HDMI connectivity, and Dolby Atmos, so it’s better suited for smaller rooms or casual TV watching rather than a full home-theater experience.

    Top Notch

    I know now what these gamers have been raving about and so do my neighbors. I don’t even have the two surround speakers in the back, but you know how some people are… I’ll end up dropping the bread on them. This surround sound…. Goodness gracious…. The sound quality, the Autotune, the bass, etc… I can’t stop talking about it and I’ve told all my friends. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A SONOS SYSTEM…. You are missing out. I’ll never go bank to another system again. Thank you so much for the product. You guys are “DA REAL MVP’s!!!”

    excelentes calidad de sonido y compacta

    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.

    Looks can be deceiving

    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.

    I am happy I chose Sonos

    The Ray is compact and has great sound. I think the instructions enclosed with the product could be much better. It would be better for me if the product came with its own remote... doesn't work with mine and its a pain to turn volume up and down using the app on my phine

    I would buy again and should have done so much earlier.

    Tried a LOT of equipment over the years with mixed and inevitably inferior results. This has GREAT sound - consistent connection to the sub-woofer, and convenient controls as well as the app for management.

    works well, better than the TV speakers.

    had to call support to sync the universal remote for the smart TV to the soundbar. took about 35 minutes. Only has optical audio connection, and still not sure if the cable is faulty, or just not good connector on TV or soundbar.

Bose - TV Speaker Compact Bluetooth Soundbar for Clear Dialogue and Enhanced TV Sound - Black

The Bose TV Speaker is a small soundbar that clarifies speech and improves overall TV sound. Inside there are two full-range drivers angled to deliver wide, spatial sound, while the center tweeter specifically focuses on clarifying speech. And built-in Dolby decoding enhances the audio capabilities of your TV Speaker to deliver a more realistic and satisfying listening experience. Designed with simplicity in mind, a single connection to your TV has you up and running in no time. This connection can be either an optical audio cable (included) or an HDMI cable (sold separately). At just over 2″ (5 cm) tall, this TV Speaker is small enough to fit just about anywhere. Place it in front of your TV or mount it to the wall. Plus small LED lights on the front turn on and/or change color when certain features are enabled or when the volume is adjusted. The Bose TV Speaker also has HDMI-CEC, which allows the TV and soundbar to communicate when connected by an HDMI cable. So when you turn the TV on, the soundbar will automatically turn on too, and you can even continue using your current TV remote to control the volume of the soundbar. However, the Bose TV Speaker also has its own remote. On it, you can pair your Bluetooth device to wirelessly stream your favorite music or podcasts, enable Dialogue Mode to further elevate center vocals, or add a bass boost for some extra depth. And the Bose TV Speaker is Roku TV Ready certified. Meaning, it’s designed to work seamlessly with a Roku TV. When connected to a Roku TV via an HDMI cable, you’ll enjoy smooth, automatic setup, easy access to the TV Speaker sound settings in the Roku TV on-screen menu, and compatibility with the Roku TV remote. If you’re looking for even more bass or just want to expand your system, you can add a subwoofer for more theater-quality home theater sound. The Bose TV Speaker requires a wired connection and is compatible with the Bose Bass Module 500 or 700 (Bose Bass Module Connection Cable sold separately).
