Customer Ratings & Reviews

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!!!

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.

So far so good. I moved the Beam out of our bedroom and into a living room with more traffic (and for wife & daughter who were hoping to have Alexa in said living room). In the Beam's absence, the Ray went up in no time...easy as pie to unpack, plug in, and get going. Because we have several other Sonos products around the house, the Ray was recognized immediately, and as expected linked right into my S2 app. The optical cord-only option on the Ray is just fine - certainly wasn't a deal breaker for me not having an HDMI input on the back. I wouldn't imagine most folks buying the Ray and using it with a 75", 77", 85" etc. size TV. It's great for small rooms, a bedroom, an office or den, or could easily be loud enough for a workout room on someone's home. It gets plenty loud, and there's enough adequate bass here that I am going to forego adding the new Sonos mini-sub to this. This is a great, no frills, entry-level soundbar from Sonos and I'm really glad they brought this into their offering. I'd buy again, and like all other Sonos equipment I've owned, would recommend to family and friends.

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

The Ray speaker is a good alternative if you want to boost your audio experience in a secondary room. I hook up the ray where my kids tv is located. Also, with airplay 2, I'm able to stream music all over the house, thus no unsoundable spot now for a good price.

I was originally going to buy a bose soundbar but the sakesman this sonos and it sounded great on the sales floor so i decided to buy it. Surprisingly, it's better than i thought. It has deep bass fire movies, and if your watching regular tv shows it has an option to focuscon the voices. It also has a night mode which lowers the loud sounds. Great soundbar of you live in an apartment. Woukd definetly recommend!!

The Sonos sound bar met our expectations. We placed this in our living room, which is on the smaller side; the sound bar delivers the expected quality sound. It was very easy to set up, and we were about to get our remote to work with the Sonos without issue. Having the app is also a nice perk. I recommend this sound bar for the price you pay.

This sound bar is excellent, compared to other stuff at a similar price range I like the sound more, it fills a room pretty well (we have it in a living room with big vaulted ceilings) and had a pretty good balance, like it’s not going to make the floors rumble with its bass but everything is present. This thing works flawlessly though, I never have an issue with airplay and it’s always super quick and easy to play something. It’s far less cumbersome than other sound bars, the so is is just ready to play always. I will say I bought a Sonos one first but there was definitely something wrong with that particular unit because it kept disconnecting, I returned it and got thr ray and it’s been fantastic. I bought a roam afterwards as well and I have that in my other room and they always play in sync. I’m definitely sold on the sonos system

The sound from this little bar.... listening to this in the store on display does not give it justice. Needed a small bar for my main tv. paired it with 2 older Sonos Play 1's and the 5.1 surround is perfect. For their low end "budget", sonos really did well by this product. super happy. adding a mini sub here soon!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sonos Soundbar — Pure Audio Perfection! The Sonos soundbar completely transformed my home audio experience. The sound is incredibly clear, rich, and full — dialogue is crisp, bass is powerful without being overwhelming, and music sounds absolutely beautiful. Setup was unbelievably easy, and the seamless integration with the Sonos app makes controlling everything effortless. Whether I’m watching movies, gaming, or listening to music, the room-filling sound feels premium every single time. It looks sleek, performs flawlessly, and truly elevates any home setup. Absolutely worth it — a 10/10 upgrade!

Great sounding compact sound bar for the price! It fits very nicely on the TV console and has really good sound for music. The only thing to watch out for is if you have a remote that is compatible with it as it does not have it's own remote for changing the volume.

Great sound, and looks good too with only one wire that plugs it in. It fills up the room well. The only issue I have is I am having a hard time connecting it to my “one” that I just got for total surround. I can’t seem to pair my tv remote to work with both.

So well design. Very easy to used and dound is outstanding.

Impressive sound from an entry level soundbar. It is incredibly small for the sound it can produce. The Sonos app works seamlesly and includes Sonos Radio which has great content with awesome sound quality.

While the performance of this Sonos speaker is not at the same level of the arc or even the Sonos one, it is priced much lower, and I am extremely happy with the sound to dollars spent ratio. I am using one of these for its intended purpose in an outdoor set up as a sound bar for a 43 inch TV. It creates a rich audio experience for watching television and movies and I am surprised at the amount of base that comes out of this while it’s still presents dialogue really well. A huge bonus is that this connects to the other Sonos speakers in my house, and works really well for playing music. In fact, my second Sonos, Ray is set up in my dining room, purely as an audio streaming speaker. Sounds really great to fill in that room with audio. My only wish is that the Ray was Alexa enabled so that it was easier to control the speaker and whole house audio streaming from the locations where my Rays are located.

We have other Sonos products. We wanted a small profile sound bar for our bedroom to pair with our new Roku TV. It need to have full sound but small profile due to small space. The Ray fit the bill nicely. It’s not to base heavy. We were not seeking full theater sound because we want to be able to use at night when others are potentially sleeping. It needed to be better than what the native TV sound is. The fact that it works with Apple was another selling point. We no longer use a home pod in the room, instead use our Ray as the music device.

Good sounding bar for a reasonable price. The addition of AirPlay makes these newer Sonos products much better than before. Not the loudest soundbar on the market by any means, but audio quality is very good. Balance is well straight out of the box and bass has a good kick to it. Sound does not distort unless pushed to the extreme. Only giving 4 star because for the price, it should be able to be a bit louder. Otherwise an excellent product from Sonos

This sounds decent, but no remote and its not bluetooth for the newer tvs.

Awesome product! Easy set up and Sounds so clear. Great bass as well. Would highly recommend!

Sounds better than most sound bars than are bigger and cost more. Great for movies, tv, music, and gaming. Sonos has made me a believer. Will definitely be purchasing more speakers from them in the future.
