    Didn't enhance TV sound like I expected. Probably OK for other purposes, but not for TV sound improvement.

    Did not work with our new Sony tv (Bravia 3 LED). The speakers on the tv were actually better than the sound from the soundbar. Returned.

    Had this for about a month and was listening to it one night and it starting emitting a screech sound and shut off. Now it doesn’t get power even with a new cord. A lot less f money to spend on a speaker that breaks in a month. Not worth it

    Although the Sonos sound bar was highly recommended for the 85” TV I purchased, after it was installed, it did not work. A call to the Spectrum Cable Company advised us Sonos does not work with Spectrum.

    I was excited and the SONOS Ray felt very short of my expectations. I was replacing a Samsung sound bar so did a before and after test. The 2 year old sound bar was bette and much cheaper. I returned the Ray and purchased the Beam. Much happy!

    Great and Small Speaker

    If you are looking for bells and whistles, look at a higher price range. This is a very basic sound bar that sounds extremely good. It has all the options needed for streaming over Wi-Fi or optical from TV. There is also an ethernet port on the back. Your connection options are very limited. There is no Bluetooth, so the initial setup is done over Wi-Fi. I would highly recommend checking for updates immediately, the process is much smoother after the first update. You get access to the Sonos Radio, along with streaming whatever you like over Wi-Fi. When connected to the TV the install instructs you to turn off the internal speakers on the TV, it does not look like there is a way to sync audio to the internal TV speaker timing. Using the digital audio input the sound is fantastic. You will only get the forward sound, but the speaker has no problem filling the room with your chosen audio. There are two woofers and two tweeters based on the specs. This speaker is fantastic for a small apartment or a game/family room. I can see people using this as a speaker only as it sounds so good. Sonos has hit another home run. The size of the speaker is about 22 inches at the front and 20 inches at the back. The top controls are centered. I figure this is good to know if you plan on sliding it into a opening under the TV. It is a little more that 2 3/4 inches tall and 2 1/2 inches tall at the back. Roughly 3 3/4 inches deep.

      Thank you for your feedback, and we are truly sorry to hear about your disappointing experience with the Sonos Ray. A soundbar should enhance your entertainment experience, not cause frustration, and we regret that this was not the case for you.

      The issues you described, such as audio syncing and eventual failure, are not typical of our products and suggest a technical problem. If you're open to troubleshooting, please contact our support team directly at support.sonos.com and we can assist further, including exploring warranty options.

      We value your feedback and are committed to improving your Sonos experience. Thank you for giving us the chance to make this right. john.milton

    Wish I had read the reviews before purchasing. Poor sound quality. Returning to exchange for another brand and will make sure there's HDMI connectivity offered.
