Score: 66/100
Sonos Sub Mini
Score: 76/100Rankings

The Sonos Sub Mini is a compact, wireless subwoofer that adds surprisingly deep bass to Sonos setups, ideal for small-to-medium rooms.

The Sonos Ray is a compact 2.0 soundbar that delivers clear dialogue and balanced music, integrating smoothly with the Sonos ecosystem via Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and AirPlay 2. Its small footprint and easy setup suit small rooms, but the lack of HDMI, Dolby Atmos, and deep bass limit home-theater capabilities.

Professional reviewers commend the Ray for its compact footprint, clear and balanced sound, and effortless integration into the Sonos ecosystem, noting it as a solid upgrade over built-in TV speakers. However, they criticize the absence of HDMI, Dolby Atmos, and deep bass.
Everyday users appreciate the Ray's noticeable improvement over TV speakers, easy app-based setup, and sleek look, especially when paired with existing Sonos gear. Common complaints focus on the missing HDMI connection, weak bass that often requires a separate Sub, and the lack of built-in voice assistants or Bluetooth for direct phone playback.

Reviewers praise its deep bass and force-canceling design, while noting iOS-only calibration and limited power for larger spaces.
Users love the punchy bass and wireless convenience, but are frustrated by the iOS-only Trueplay and inability to place it horizontally.
