Great install. Thanks Keith Dye for a great job. Dan Powers

Seems at times not to allow full range of sound up or down. Expected more sound from our first soundbar. Buttons on top don't work for a while - maybe impacted by how was set up by Geek squad? Now working ok.

This was so worth it and didn’t regret my purchase

Best purchase in a while, geek squad walked me thru setting it up with my tv! They’re so awesome.

Great item. A minor complaint: there's no sound level indicator.

i'm glad i bought this sound bar it works well and we are happy

Love it and would recommend it to anyone who ask me about it

As a long time Sonos user I was excited to get the newly released Ray Soundbar with WiFi. It's Sonos' latest soundbar release and is touted as a compact solution that's easy to setup and use. This is certainly the case as it literally takes just a few minutes to setup and use with a TV or as a speaker for music or gaming. Although it's diminutive in size, the sound is fantastic as expected from a Sonos speaker. Packaging - more and more consumer electronics companies are moving to recycled/recyclable packaging and Sonos has jumped on that wagon. The Ray is packaged very well and arrived in perfect condition. Included in the box is the Ray, power cord, optical cord and instructions. Build Quality - the Ray is definitely a compact soundbar weighing in at a little over 4 lbs. and measuring just 22" wide. The speakers are forward facing so based on that and the size this soundbar can be placed in a TV console, hung on a wall (with adapter, not included) or even on a desktop for gaming use. Although it's compact, the build quality is very impressive and as expected from Sonos. There are flush touch controls on the top of the unit and only an ethernet, optical and power connections. There's also an indicator light which can be toggled on/off with the Sonos app. Setup - As advertised by Sonos the Ray is super easy to setup and and use. Simply connect the optical and power cables, download the S2 Sonos app and begin the setup. It took about 2-3 minutes from unboxing to connected and running on my Vizio TV. Once up and running, the Ray is configureable through the S2 app. Sound such as bass and treble can be adjusted with the "EQ" and Trueplay allows the user to customize the sound based on the room the Ray is located in. Status light and lights for the touch controls are also adjustable in the app. Remote control setup is also managed with the app...and this is one area I was a bit let down. As the Ray is only able to connect to a TV with an optical audio cable, it only supports IR (infrared) remote controls. The remote for my Vizio TV is an RF and does not support the Ray. Sound Quality - This is where the Ray really shines. I am blown away by the BIG sound that comes out of such a compact soundbar. For use with TV, Sonos worked with Hollywood sound engineers to develop a speaker that delivers crisp and understandable dialogue. There's also an adjustment toggle in the app, and it works. With the optical audio cable, TV dialogue synced perfectly and no adjust meant was needed. Definitely use the Trueplay option and customize the Ray for your room(s). It creates a truly immersive sound experience! For music, the rich bass and crisp treble is amazing for such a small set up. I find myself using the Ray more and more for listening to Sonos Music instead of watching TV...the sound is that impressive. Pros: - BIG sound in a compact design - Sonos build quality - Sonos S2 app is easy to use and allows for customization - Trueplay - the immersive sound experience is incredible - Easy to setup and operate Cons: - My Vizio RF remote is not supported by the Ray - As a longtime Sonos user, it's a bit frustrating having to use S1 and S2 apps to run my hardware - this is not a knock on the Ray but on Sonos' development decisions. The Sonos Ray is an amazing compact WiFi Soundbar that puts out BIG sound! I would highly recommend it for anyone looking to add or upgrade a soundbar for TV, music or gaming, this thing rocks!

Not as loud as I wanted but works good for the price

Good Selection to buy from. Salespersons helped us to select according to the use. Set up was excellent.

Bought open box EXCELLENT and it didnt work so I returned and had to pay the difference for a new one. Got it home and set it up. You can airplay music, so if your wifi goes out, so does your music. Why it doesn’t have a bluetooth option, I don’t know. It’s not very loud and nothing was special about the sound. I returned and will be going with a different brand.

The beam is much better if you're looking for a soundbar there is no hdmi connection only a wifi fiber optic and lan can't connect suroynds very disappointed in this purchase

I returned this item, no remote and didn't like the price after being talked into purchasing it on sale. Replaced it with another brand

There was a requirement needed that is a smart phone to set up and use the product. You will need to download an app to setup and use the product. This did not work for me so I needed to return the product.

I love my Sonos I have them in every room and I used to be a Bose guy

great product...............................................

Keep up the great job you huys are doing have a good day

Difficult to match with TV remote. I can only change the volume by using the app on on iPad or iPhone.

Excellent product Easy to deal with Good sales rep

It was a great speaker and it had the features I needed but we returned it because the price of the Sonos Arc came down significantly for the holiday season and that was what I truly wanted. I did strongly consider keeping this and selling my old Sonos Playbar but I really like that speaker.
