Sonos Ray: WATCH THIS BEFORE BUYING!!
Ғылым және технология
Is the Sonos Ray Worth Buying if it Only Has Optical and no HDMI ARC? What's the Ray like to use and is the Sound Quality Good Enough as a Bedroom Soundbar? The Ray is Sonos' latest Soundbar coming under the Beam Gen 2 and Sonos ARC. It's the most compact of the 3 and designed to fit in smaller cabinets or under TV's less than 50 inches. It doesn't have Dolby Atmos Compatibility but that's to be expected from a Sonos Soundbar at this price range. Hopefully this video has helped you to decide if it's the right Soundbar for you.

Thanks Terry 😊
Thanks for the review. You answered my main concern, if I can or can’t control my tv volume using my IR tv remote with just an optical input on the ray.
Great review Josh....

Hello, did you try yourself to use the Ray on a PC to watch YouTude video? This soundbar is amazing when playing music via AirPlay, but, through optical... yerk... unless I missed a setting somewhere
Any tips on getting it connected to a tv it doesnt seem to want to play my tv sound through it and ive tried looking through all the settings i can find. My tv is a hisense
Really is bizarre how it only supports Optical. I don’t care how small it is, in 2022, everything should support HDMI and ARC, at least, right? 🤷♂️ Thanks for the review!

Yeah it sure is! Clearly trying to protect the Beam’s sales and get people into the eco system with a cheaper offering. No worries. Thanks for watching Ealan 😊

I have a Ray in my office and it is great. The Ray doesn’t have Atmos or anything that requires ARC, so not having HDMI is really a non issue for me. This isn’t a product that people will be putting in theater room, most of these will be in offices or bedrooms. I’ve even seen people use them as just another Sonos speaker in their system.
any tip how to convert a sonos ray to work with computer or projector?
Good video !! Where are you located?

Hey Jatinder. I ordered it at the beginning of May and still waiting for delivery. Looks like the rest of the world got it before New Zealand. No surprises there 😋
Any thoughts on the samsung q910b soundbar

I haven’t heard it but looking at those rear speakers they’re not nearly as good as the ones on the Q950a and I’m guessing same goes for the Q990b. The main bar looks the same as the Q990b tho. What’s the price difference where you live between Q990b and Q910b?

So much efforts making a low end product, should rather just spend it on a few engineers and make eArc upgraded version of their other soundbars.
The Ray is not worth the money, just admit it. Don’t buy it.
