Sonos products, which are characterized by character and top quality, have always been accompanied by relatively high prices, especially after a small increase in brand prices in the last year. However, Sonos himself seems to be taking a small step back Sonos Ray, introduced as the company’s most affordable soundbar yet.

Sonos Ray relies on a more compact soundbar design elegant aesthetic characteristics of the brand, with rounded edges and great simplicity in terms of front and controls, and two color variations in black and white tones that easily fit into any room. Design that houses four Class D digital amplifiers, two midrange speakers and two tweeters inside, ensuring high quality reproduction for any frequency and pitch.

However, even if it is a smaller and cheaper device, it does not mean that it will do without some interesting features. And that’s what Sonos Ray has own waveguidesthat help project sound throughout the room; As well as bass reflex systemwhich creates balanced bass; voice enhancement featureoffer greater clarity in reproduction; and night sound modewhich reduces the intensity of louder sounds.

However, he will clearly highlight the absence of some surcharges from his other soundbars, such as skip built-in microphones, Dolby Atmos support or connectivity via HDMI port. On the other hand, it is not clear at this time whether this device will have a future update to include Sonos Voice, the company’s own voice assistant.

While we will continue to have WiFi connectivity that will allow us to use Sonos Ray through any of the devices connected to the same network, it will also offer us the ability to use our most popular music streaming services directly. In addition, on the back we find other connection methods such as optical input.
