Prime Day is over but this Sonos soundbar is still a great deal

Prime Day is over but there are still plenty of great deals on some of the best soundbars. This includes the Sonos Ray which is still discounted in some places including Amazon, where it's currently priced at £212.

While we are certainly more fond of Sonos' larger bars – the Beam and the Arc – the Ray is still a very solid performer. It launched two years ago and is the cheapest way to get your hands on a Sonos soundbar.

Sonos Ray £279 £212 at Amazon (save £67)
Sonos' most affordable soundbar is a simple, no-frills way of seriously upgrading your TV's sound. It lacks an HDMI port, offering just an optical connection, but if this isn't a dealbreaker for you then this shortcoming is made up for with an energetic, upbeat and upfront sound.

This simple yet very effective soundbar offers a substantial sonic boost to your TV at a reasonable price point – which is now even more enticing than ever. 

In terms of sound, the 'bar offers excellent vocal clarity, forthright projection and nicely detailed high frequencies. It's a fun and upfront sound, which our TV & AV Editor enjoyed when using the Ray at home.

Inside the unit, four class D amplifiers power four forward-facing drivers – two centrally positioned elliptical mid-woofers with a pair of tweeters that fire into split waveguides. There are also proprietary low-velocity curved bass reflex ports for handling low-end frequencies. 

The Ray adheres to the company's core principle of interoperability, allowing the soundbar to form part of a wireless multi-room system using Apple AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, and Tidal Connect.

As we mentioned above, it lacks an HDMI port and relies on just an optical connection, although it offers a lot of the same Sonos features and functions as the bigger soundbars in the brand's roster thanks to its compatibility with the Sonos S2 app. This means streaming to the bar is simple, and the Ray is quite feature-rich for a bar at this price point.

The impressive Ray soundbar is now available at Amazon in white or black for £212.

    Thanks to yet another great Amazon Prime Day deal, the Sonos Ray has dropped below £200.

    Hi, I am having a media wall installed in a weeks time. As a result, I bought a new TV yesterday, the LG Oled C4.
    Having splashed out on a TV, and the building work, I don't have a lot of cash to spend on a soundbar. This is tempting though. What is the compatibility like with an LG Oled and is it worth asking my builder to change plans and build in a space for a soundbar?

    Given the current state of the Sonos software (it being written from the ground up), there’s a good chance that you’ll end up with something that you can’t control.
    For just doing the tv audio, it may well be fine (my Arc is).

    Look on the Sonos forums to see the current state of play.

    I’m one of the many disgruntled Sonos owners (with lots of Sonos hardware).

    Thank you. That is useful information.
