    I recently had to replace all my stuff and I desperately needed sound for my computer. My previous speakers were a 2.1 logitech system but this time I wanted to try out a sound bar and I was kind of intrigued by the Sonos brand so I decided to try this one out. The overall sound coming out of this speaker is very decent for the size. I have it sitting under my monitors. I use them as the main sound output for my gaming computer. They sound great but somewhat hollow. What it really lacks is in the highs. Bass is decent but not room shaking. I do not have the optional subwoofer but plan to get one in the future. For movies the speaker provides a very good experience. Music is decent but I think the models higher up will be better if you can afford it but that's a significant jump in price. My unit was a open box item and overall I'm very satisfied. The Sonos app is cool but I really never use it with my phone. It's connected via optical audio to my computer. If you can find this speaker open box I deffinitely recommend it or if you can find the Beam which is the next model up in open box it's not much more than a new Ray model.

    Very clear sound, and a suprising amount of low end for its small size. Beats any tv’s built-in speakers by a mile. Although, a sub would be desired for larger rooms and/or if you are heavy into music with lots of low end. Very easy to setup so that it worked seamlessly with the tv remote control. Works flawlessly with the rest of my sonos gear.

    • Brand response from Sonos Customer Care
      Posted .

      Hello,

      Thank you for sharing your experience with the Sonos Ray soundbar! We're thrilled to hear that you find its sound quality to be very clear and that it delivers a surprising amount of low-end for its small size.

      It's great to know that the Sonos Ray outperforms built-in TV speakers by a significant margin, providing a more immersive and enjoyable audio experience. We understand that for larger rooms or for those who enjoy music with heavy low-end, adding a subwoofer may be desired to further enhance the bass response.

      We're glad to hear that you found the setup process to be easy, and that the Sonos Ray seamlessly integrates with your TV remote control and the rest of your Sonos gear. This convenience is key to ensuring a hassle-free and enjoyable user experience.

      Thank you for choosing Sonos, and we're delighted that you're satisfied with the performance of your Sonos Ray soundbar! john.milton

    decent soundbar - with caveats

    Overall, this sound bar offers satisfactory sound quality. While it may not provide extraordinary or awe-inspiring audio, it certainly surpasses the sound output of standard television speakers. However, it is important to note that this sound bar lacks HDMI EARC, limiting its audio output to optical audio only. Additionally, finding a remote control compatible with the sound bar and that will work during app setup for volume control proved to be a challenging task. The remote must be IR-only, and even then, it must transmit the correct IR codes that the sound bar recognizes. In comparison, investing in the Sonos Beam may be more cost-effective, as it enhances the listening experience by providing HDMI IN and EARC capabilities, eliminating the need for specific remote controls.

    Clear Dialogue, Lacks Atmos Support

    I'm really impressed with the crystal-clear dialogue and excellent sound stage that the Ray provides for its compact size, making it a perfect, simple upgrade for enhancing TV watching in a smaller room. My main frustration, however, is the lack of Dolby Atmos support and the limited connectivity, as the reliance on optical audio means I often sacrifice modern features that comparable soundbars offer.

    The product works better than expected. The only issues I had was trying to connect a second gen sub. It took two hours on the phone with support, two apps and over 20 device resets but now my whole room shakes and I don't even dare reach full volume.

    For my use it’s great. I use it via the optical cable for my desktop computer. I don’t have space for two desktop speakers and this fit right under my monitor. For its size, the sound is great but I wouldn’t recommend it for an entertainment system. Cons: No remote No HDMI port Sonos app is terrible Tricky installation with app Pros: Comes in white Affordable- paid $110 on sale Great sound for size Compact

    It’s easy to setup but keep in mind you WILL have to download an app to finish setting up. Afterwards its ease of use to control EQ and volume is great. Tho im sure there ARE speakers specifically for PC’s I saw this on a post on reddit and just couldn’t get rid of the idea or how well they looked. Small and compact is great for any space and how loud they can get is a plus.

    The product is sleek and blended seamless with my gray/ black aesthetics. It provided exceptional quality sound, much like a surround sound vibe. It is definitely worth the cost. The drawback is that if your TV remote is Bluetooth/RF you will need app to control sound.

    Latency Holds This Back

    I was excited to get Ray as it fits nicely below our new Sony 4K TV. The good news first: Ray sounds excellent - tight n' punchy with plenty of bass. Unfortunately, there's a built-in delay between the picture onscreen and the sound coming from Ray, even though they're right next to each other. Ray has a minimum 75 millisecond lag, which is way too long. There's no way to get sound & picture tighter. At times, it's far worse than that, which is helped by doing an inconvenient restart of the TV. The delay is never acceptable. There are also regular issues with the volume being controlled between the Sony TV remote and the DirecTV remote. It's difficult to maintain a consistent volume. All in all, I wouldn't recommend Ray to anyone, unless Sonos develops a fix for the unacceptable latency in its design. With that lag, I can't recommend it.

    A very nice blend between price, quality and size. Easy to install and it has added a nice quality sound to my TV room. I'm becoming more and more impressed with Sonos products and I appreciate being able to control both this speaker and my other Sonos speakers from the a single app. While this may not have the power of 5.1 with numerous speakers around the room, it has enhanced the sound and viewing experience of my 65" Samsung TV

    Another amazing device from Sonos. As an entry level product, it still blows the competition away. The sound is crisp, immersive and customizable. Pros: Solid build and design quality. Easy to setup. Easily accents other Sonos equipment in your home. Enhances TV viewing immediately. Perfect if you’re new to the Sonos lineup. Cons: No HDMI ARC, no remote. (Sonos Ray can use your tv remote though) Overall I’d highly recommend this product. We use it in the bedroom where it excels in all areas. Great for streaming music or watching tv.
