    Remote Control?

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    After unboxing this speaker I quickly became irritated as I went to set it up. I didn't realize how much 'no remote' would matter to me as it turned out. You need to control it from the app which you have to download...and register...and...blah, blah, I felt like the SONOS company wanted to know more about me, gather data about me, than needed just for me to be able to use the app. TO SONOS CORPORATE SUITS: Please...just include a remote control and let me start listening to what I understand to be, an otherwise FABULOUS speaker system!

    Extremely disappointing

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Incredible sound, great app features. Would not work with my brand new TV due to optical out cord. This unit does not have a HDMI out. You unfortunately cannot use an adapter either. Bluetooth feature only works to play music from other devices NOT your TV. Horrible flaw on an otherwise exceptional product

    Bad buy

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    If you're looking for something that has connectivity issues and then can only be adjusted from your cell phone Sonos app, then go for it. A technician spent an hour trying to connect it to my new Samsung OLED 65" TV and finally got it to work....left, and then when I turned it on again...no dice and same issues connecting it. I returned it and will be looking for another soundbar

    Not Compatable with RF tv remotes

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This soundbar is a disappointment. I have several other Sonos products in my house and I have been very pleased. However, this scaled down, entry level soundbar lacks most of the characteristics that make Sonos great. The biggest flaw is that it does not use HDMI inputs so is not compatable with newer tv remote technology. So, you might be left with having zero remote volume function. That is simply unacceptable.

    If you already have a sonos one, you will not line the Ray speaker. I truly wanted to like it, however, there is no bass and the sound quality does not compare to even the small sonos one. I ended up returning it and purchased the Beam 2. As soon as I connected beam 2, you could tell the difference. If tou cant afford the beam 2 speaker, I suggest buying the Sonos one instead, it sounds much better than Ray.

      Thank you very much for this review! We are sorry you didn't like your Sonos Ray, but are excited for you to listen on the Sonos Beam. We did just want to jump in and mention that Sonos One is not meant for TV listening unless it's grouped with one of our soundbars or bonded as surround sounds. Ray is our smallest speaker for the television, whilst One is really designed for music. - thanks again! john.milton

      Hi Nick, thank you for your review. The Sonos Ray can be controlled by any IR remote you may have. Though you can control it with your phone, you dont have to if you have an IR remote like a TV, cable, streaming box remote. john.milton

    Not for me

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Because it only operates through optical you will almost always need 2 remotes. I returned and bought the Beam which has an HDMI port so all can be controlled with one remote.

      Hello Andy,

      Thank you for sharing your experience, and I'm sorry to hear that the Ray didn't meet your expectations due to the need for multiple remotes when using it with your setup.

      The Sonos Beam indeed offers the convenience of HDMI connectivity, allowing for seamless integration with your TV and the use of a single remote to control both the Beam and your TV. We're glad to hear that you found the Beam to be a better fit for your needs.

      If you have any further questions or need assistance with your Sonos Beam or any other Sonos products, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're here to ensure you have a smooth and enjoyable experience with your Sonos system.

      Thank you for choosing Sonos, and we appreciate your feedback! john.milton

    Open Box problem.

    I purchased the Sonos Tay open box and then discovered it was actually a used product. Best Buy replaced it with a new but it doubled my installation charge because the Tech had to come a second time.
