## Description

Review: I bought this Sonos speaker and my whole system fully expecting to spend the afternoon arguing with cables, instructions, and possibly my own sanity. Spoiler: none of that happened. Setup was so easy, I thought I did it wrong. I plugged it in, tapped a few buttons, and suddenly my living room sounded like a VIP section I’m definitely not cool enough to be in. Even my WiFi behaved, which never happens. Sonos must use wizard magic or something. The sound? Incredible. Crisp highs, deep bass, and just loud enough that my neighbors now know my entire playlist, including the songs I pretend not to like and dont even get me started on how Top Gun: Maverick sounds!!. My favorite part is how it connects every room. I can walk from the kitchen to the bathroom like I’m doing my own stadium tour. My dog didn’t sign up for this concert, but he’s fully committed now. If you want a stereo system that sounds amazing and makes you feel smarter than you actually are, Sonos is it. 10/10 would recommend — even if you only buy it to flex on guests when they ask, “Wait… how’d you set this up so fast?”

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does the bass sound on this soundbar?**
A: I was expecting it to be similar to my Sonos One gen 2 and sadly it's noticeably weaker. Too weak in my opinion.

**Q: Does it have Bluetooth?**
A: Ray supports WiFi, Optical, Ethernet and AirPlay 2 connections.  It does not support HDMI or Bluetooth.

**Q: Does it come with the arc cable?**
A: HDMI-ARC is not supported on this soundbar, it does come with an optical cable.

**Q: Can this be used outdoors and mounted on an outdoor television?**
A: Well...I'll let you know.  We have an outdoor room that has a covered roof and a TV mounted on a fireplace (speaker on a mantle below the TV on the fireplace).  So my setup has it "somewhat" hidden from direct exposure.  But the room's sides are wide open with no screens.  I've had a compact Bose for two years with no issues outside but it lacks the Sonos system integration, sound quality, and ease of use.  I added it to my Sonos system yesterday and it already blows away my prior setup.  Hope it lasts and will most likely bring it inside over the harsh winter months (Jan-March).
