Customer Ratings & Reviews

The sound quality of this is great. It's a perfect size and really hits above it's weight class, so to speak. But I just can't understand why this is still sold with the specs it has. It's a dinosaur, technologically speaking. Connecting via digital optical, although precise in sound quality transmission, makes it impossible to control volume levels unless you have an IR based remote for your TV with line of sight. I returned mine, because that is non-negotiable. Having a BT remote for my tv and streaming boxes meant that I could not raise and lower volume without using the app or physically touching the button on the bar. The only application that I could see this being great for is a computer soundbar. I am a Sonos fan. I have the Arc soundbar with the mini-sub, and 2 Era 100's as rear. I am immersed in whatever I am watching, and will scream from the mountain-top that this is a worthwhile investment for your entertainment needs. But...not the Ray. It's a bummer, i want to like it. But I just cant. Grateful that Best Buy made the return so easy, and even the employee who handled my return was baffled that such a high profile device was lacking so much basic functionality.

I got this soundbar for my apartment and it sounded AMAZING just from playing music. It does not have bluetooth (I shouldve researched better before ordering) so I had to return it because of that BUT it does have airplay. I ordered a Bose soundbar that had bluetooth and could noticeably tell the difference between the sound quality of the Sonos. Im not even a person who is an expert or usually cares about that stuff….but the Sonos sound quality was so much better (and same price because of Black Friday). Now that I have a TV, (and bluetooth is no longer a necessity) I needed to swap them ASAP! I highly recommend this soundbar, the app is great. The ability to adjust the bass and treble is great. Its a bummer this one doesnt have bluetooth, but airplay works just fine.

We added this small sound bar to the TV in our kitchen. It makes your kitchen feel like a theater room. So easy to install and we control everything from our Apple TV remote so no need for multiple remotes for content selection or volume. That’s a first for our family. We can watch traditional TV, YouTube content or music with premium sound. Feels like an elevated experience for not that large of an investment. Sometimes in life it’s the little tweaks like this purchase that seem to enhance every day living. We have been 20 year+ customers of Best Buy and Sonos. Finally replacing the complex Bose Home Theater system installed 15 years ago in the Family Room. Next week the Geek Squad guys are coming to upgrade the TV room with some Sonos love!! Stay tuned for that review. Let’s hope it feels as good as the Kitchen Media upgrade .

Have Sonos ARC in living room with 2 additional Sonos ONE speakers. Have been very pleased with those. Purchased this Sonos RAY sound bar for master bedroom. It sounds great on a shelf under the TV. It is nice and small but has a great sound. Love the voice enhancement option especially in he bedroom where the sound is often lower. It is a great addition to the Sonos lineup. My only complaint is only having optical input and not HDMI. It would be perfect if had HDMI inputs. Very satisfied with RAY.

amazing!!! so worth the money, great soundbar for bedroom. i use this in my bedroom with my sonos mini sub. provides great sound and easy to setup. it should be known that this soundbar connects only via optical, so in some tvs you will need an IR remote. if you don’t like that, upgrade to the beam it’s well worth it!!

Sound quality is very good but there are things that I find could be better with this unit. Setup is not easy or intuitive. It can only connect to the TV with an optical cable and not an HDMI cable. Also no remote control you must use your cell phone or have Geek Squad hook it up and pair with TV.

Great soundbar for small spaces with a lot of punch. Only thing I wish it had different was the ability to sync volume to remote control. I have to either use the app on my phone to control volume or use the buttons on the top of the soundbar. Also have been having some issues now and then with the app pulling up my sound system. WiFi and Bluetooth on but doesn’t always pull up the info right away which can be frustrating since that’s the only way I can turn the volume up or down. Apart from the small issues with the volume, great product from Sonos with good quality.

Just when you think a sound bar couldnt get any better. This is small, compact and produces the right level of sound and tone for a small outdoor space. Movie nights just got a whole lot better

I have a 43 inch Sony TV. Most soundbars are too long for my console stand. The Sonos Ray fits perfectly in front of my TV. This is the perfect size soundbar for a smaller space. Sound quality is amazing as well. Two drawbacks, no HDMI and the TV remote only controls the soundbar when the TV is off. Not a deal breaker just minor annoyances. I am thinking about picking up a pair of Sonos One SLs or Era 100s when there is a sale.

Had this for a little over a month now and the sound is amazing! We are using this in a smaller room so we needed to conserve all the space we could. The sound is like theater quality and the bass is very good! Have used this while watching movies and playing PS5 video games and we will be purchasing Sonos brand again!

Excellent products and this did not disappoint. Big sound out of a small sound bar. Above average bass, easy to connect / set up. 10/10

Produces really good sound for its size. Good bass and excellent mids. I can’t give it 5 stars because it doesn’t have HDMI ARC. It’s optical only. At this price HDMI ARC should be included. I wouldn’t put this in a large room but it’s perfect for someone looking to get better audio from their bedroom tv.

Nice quality sound set up should be easy, but I had trouble linking to my remote for the volume

The sound is clear and the volumn can be turned up so that I can hear it even in the other room. I had never noticed the low sounds like thunder that were carried by several of the programs that I watched but they were coming from the woffer and I had never heard them before!

Excellent selection for our family room. The sound quality is movie theater worthy. It’s a big sound in a small package. Simple set up through the Sonos App that you download. I didn’t know there’s a music component to the app which was a nice surprise. Can play music directly from the soundbar without the TV

This is the cheapest Sonos sound bar and I bought this to replace a BOSE soundbar in one of our bedrooms. It is a big step up from the BOSE (both about the same cost in fact). It is quite small so doesn’t overpower the room visually (wife friendly) but yet still delivers decent bass and great vocal quality.

I am a frequent Sonos fan. Bought the Ray for our sunroom to add to our system. Mounted above the sliding glass door and it fills our sunroom with great stereo sound. It is amazing the quality and bass from such a small unit!!!

Boight this for my pc and man was i amazed! This is by far one of the best sound speakers i have. Sounds soo clear has nice boost of tremble great quality easy to set up too took me about 5 - 10 minutes. 10/10 recommended

Great bar at a very good sale price. Easy set up. I can use my current tv remote to operate the bar’s volume.

I'll start out with, yes, it sounds good, especially for the size. It has deep, rich sounds for a tiny box without a subwoofer. But I returned it anyway. There were too many flaws with this system. It's only optical, which would be fine if this system had a remote, but it doesn't. It has the feature to connect it to your existing remote, which would be great except it only works with infrared (IR) remotes and not radio frequency (RF) remotes. The app tells you that if your remote works while covering the end of it, it won't work, and my TV uses RF (which is better anyway). So what can you do? You use their 2.9-star rated (Android) app that messed with my phone and even my car stereo. Even if the app is 5 stars, I don't want to use my phone to adjust the volume. I swapped mine out for the Samsung 650B, which was only $10 more on sale than Sonos Ray which was also on sale. the 650B is worlds better.
