Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a very purpose driven device and for what it's designed for it works beautifully. It's basically an nicely priced introduction into the Sonos ecosystem because you really need to use the Sonos app to do anything beyond have it provide a better sound response than the given TV or PC. The sizing is absolute ideal though. It easily fits under my 27" monitor and perfectly accompanies a 40" to 55" TV without overwhelming the TV space. Since you're using optical, there's no ARC (HDMI) connection so you have to program your regular remote with an IR to control it but honestly I just use the Sonos app. The use of the Sonos app is where it really shines because that's how you can stream music and incorporate it into a larger ecosystem. Overall the sound is super crisp and this soundbar SHINES when it comes to understanding what's being spoken on movies and such. Usually with these smaller systems there's no balancing so words get muffled into the surrounding sound making it harder to understand what's going on. Definitely not a problem with this soundbar as I was easily able to make out conversation despite scenes that included explosions and other major audio effects. It's a definite step up from your built-in sound from the TV but would absolutely benefit from the Sonos sub (and hopefully forthcoming mini sub) to add some bass to movies. For gaming I love the thing as trying to position standard soundbars is an exercise in futility and this one so perfectly slots in under the monitor.

Awesome I had a great experience with buying this product from Best Buy. The product works excellent and it has great sound.

Its outstanding. Sound is clear and very good. It works perfectly from phone.

Best sound bar for our bedroom. Sound is perfect !!!

Was such a pain to try to pair with the Samsung remote I returned it . Left a couple holes in my wall where the bracket for it was minted. Really awful!

I received this item for free from BestBuy and Sonos in exchange for my honest review of the item. I got this to replace a sound bar that I got about 6-7 years ago that worked fine but was starting to show its age. This Sonos sound bar was a breeze to set up, and I am super happy there’s not yet another remote control for me to have to keep track of, like my last one did. With this Sonos, I set it up with my iPhone and then set up my Apple TV 4K remote to be able to control the volume of the sound bar, and I was able to do it in less than 5 minutes from the start of the app download to the time I could use the remote, it was that quick! The sound quality is great, and I could tell it was an upgraded sound from my last sound bar as soon as I turned it on - the sound is crisp and level, there’s no major fluctuations like I was starting to hear with the old one. I need to play around more with the balance settings, though, because while I love bass, especially for music, when it is just dialogue it can be a bit too much and hard to understand. I haven’t gotten to try it out yet, but I’m also really excited about the Airplay option without going through my Apple TV!

The Sonos Ray sound bar is an excellent sounding product. It is a great option for those who are in smaller spaces or just want great sound at a great price. While you won’t get any pounding bass from this sound bar, you will still get quality sound that will fill a small to medium sized room. Set up is easy, user friendly and I didn’t have any issues with the process. You will have to connect via the included optical cable as there is no HDMI input, unfortunately. There also isn’t a 3.5 mm output jack either which is a big bummer. I was hoping to be able to hook this up to my gaming monitor but no luck. Additionally, there is no Bluetooth connectivity. The point of this product is to deliver awesome sound at an affordable price and it does both well. It is so nice to not have to use the cheap speakers that come with most televisions today. The Sonos Ray really enhances the overall experience of watching movies or gaming and I’m very pleased with it so far! If you’re looking for an excellent, high quality and affordable sound bar you will not be disappointed with the Sonos Ray.

We were looking for a soundbar to improve the dialogue while watching TV. A sales rep suggested the Sonos. So glad we got it. Excellent sound quality and easy online setup

This bar is awesome for the price! The sub is fantastic!

Love sound quality of this speaker highly recommend

The Sonos sound bar is amazing! Sound is wonderful. The best part is how easy it is to use! I can change source and volume from my phone. We use it all the time now.

It sounds wonderful I can hear things you can’t with just your tv! Easy to set up!

Good speaker. Quality of the sound compared to the other Sonos bars, I expected it to be better, but the quality for its value is great. Recomended for a small bedroom for not a demand of performance.

Surprisingly big sound for a small footprint and a fair price. Bass is the only thing a little bit lacking but I can always buy the mini sub if I really need to feel the movie that I fall asleep watching in my bedroom...

Great sounding speaker. Easy to connect and use, and works well with iPhone

We love Sonos! This was easy to install and makes our tv sound SO MUCH BETTER! It’s like a home theatre quality sound compared to the speakers built into the TV. Easy to set up and get working in just a couple minutes! Very easy for DIY!!

The sound bar is a perfect fit on the tv stand and provides quality feedback sound. Boyfriend really enjoys it when he’s watching sports!

I am really enjoying this soundbar. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 Stars is that it is not HDMI enabled. It is connected to the television by an Optical cable. Otherwise it is very much worth the $$.

Sonos products used to be the best quality and most innovative. They have lost touch with the consumer. This Soundbar has very limited usage as it can only hook up to an optical audio port. I wanted to buy this to hook into a projector to watch movies outside. There's no bluetooth. There's no 1/4" auxiliary input! There's no HDMI input. Most projectors do not have an optical audio output. I found some contraptions online that cost hundreds of dollars and MIGHT convert the signal to an optical audio, but it just wasn't worth the gamble, so I ordered the same size soundbar from the company that starts with a B. Since Sonos upgraded their app, my entire ecosystem has been a mess in my home, and that is my other reason why this product will not be out on my back patio unfortunately. For the same price point on a competing product you get ALL of the inputs including HDMI eArc, 1/4" audio and optical and also Bluetooth.

Very nice sound bar with very clear dialog for TV. Considerably less expensive than the Sonos beam with also as good sound quality in my opinion. The only downside is it only has optical output, no hdmi.
