## Description

Sonos Ray Soundbar - All-in-one compact and sleek soundbar with Blockbuster sound for movies, gaming and wifi music streaming, compatible App and Apple AirPlay, in black : desertcart.co.uk: Electronics & Photo

Review: Very very good and makes a big difference - has made a substantial difference to the sound quality of home tv. Easy to set up and easy to use. Just make sure you get the remote control set up to use the sound bar otherwise it'll get confused. Looks great, much smaller than I expected, fits in with other technology around the house, and is proving to be a very very good buy. No more muffled voices and rewinding to hear sentence.
Review: Surprisingly big sound from a small speaker - I bought this to complement a relatively cheap 43" TV I installed in one of our main living areas, as an addition to our main TV setup elsewhere (that one with Sonos Arc). Having come previously from a large AV surround amp and discrete speakers / subwoofer and also the Sonos Arc, I was just wanting something to improve on the crappy sound that is built-in to TVs these days. For the price and the size of the unit (it's really very compact), I wasn't expecting amazing sound. I was quite stunned at the depth and volume this little box produces. Sure, the surround presence isn't really there, it's more of a wide soundstage, but for the price and size, it really packs a punch. I was thinking I'd give it a go at first and maybe add a sub-mini later if needed, but for a second-TV setup (and the TV was not much more than the cost of this soundbar) I've decided that it isn't worth it. There's quite a heavy punch from some soundtracks that belies the size of this little speaker, and the bass extension is surprisingly low. Sure, a sub is going to improve things a lot, but on a budget this soundbar rocks. Good vocal clarity in the mids and highs too. I was worried about the lack of HDMI and remote, but it really isn't needed if you have a simple setup with a smart TV (and I don't need Dolby Atmos for this TV). I don't have any other sources of audio for this soundbar, so the optical input straight from the TV works just fine. The setup process learns the type of remote you're using, and there are only a handful of remotes (non-IR based) that may be more of an issue, so do check the Sonos website first to see if yours is one of those. The volume buttons on both the TV remote (Panasonic) and the desertcart Fire stick control the Ray perfectly. And the other bonus is that this fits nicely in my Sonos ecosystem. This is an excellent value bit of kit, with Sonos's usual build quality.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect Solution for Small TV
*by H***D on 23 October 2024*

I recently bought a 2022 32 inch LG TV. The sound on the TV is unsurprisingly thin and tinny. I chose the Sonos Ray to beef it up and more especially because it fits precisely - mm perfect - between the TV’s legs. Not many soundbars will do that. To make this work I had to buy a set of 2 inch black furniture risers so that the bottom of the TV could be positioned just above the soundbar which sits on a cupboard shelf. The Ray arrived today and my scheme worked perfectly. It looks like the soundbar was designed for this TV. Of course now it is all set up (quite tricky as it involves changes to settings on TV to switch to optical sound output - quite easy - but then more complicated interventions to get my LG Magic remote control to talk to the soundbar. That required some searching and watching of videos on YouTube which explained the process. We got there in the end), how does it sound ? Perfect for this small TV, especially for less than £200. Day one and I am happy with the product, its sound quality, the Sonos app and how it looks with this TV. I would recommend it to anyone with a LG 32 inch TV and also recommend the company selling it as it was a decent price and quick delivery.
