Score: 66/100Rankings

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 praise the V20-J8 for delivering surprising spatial audio and dialogue clarity at a budget price, noting its reliable HDMI-ARC and solid construction.
