Even the best TVs benefit from a dedicated soundbar or hi-fi system. This is especially true if you're the owner of a more budget-friendly set. Rather than buying a whole new TV, why not get one of the best soundbars instead? If you're tempted, then the Sonos Ray at Best Buy for $179 (was $199) is a great little deal.

This discount brings it back down to a record-low and is easily one of the best soundbar deals we've seen in a while if you're after an inexpensive but impressive boost to your home audio.

But it's not only the price that's little – the Sonos Ray is also one of the most compact soundbars on the market. So, if space is at a premium and you're feeling dissatisfied with your TV's speakers, check out this Sonos Ray deal.

Our Sonos Ray review gives thorough coverage of the features, design, and, of course, sound quality of the soundbar. We rated it a respectable four out of five stars and said it delivers "big, well-balanced sound".

If you'd like to further improve the sound quality in the future, then you can always connect it to other surround speakers in the future. This can be achieved using Sonos' multiroom streaming tech.

The lack of HDMI ARC on its HDMI connection is understandable given the price, but it would have been a nice addition all the same. That being said, for most general uses, the Sonos Ray will be more than sufficient.

We loved how easy it was to set up. There are just two cables that need plugging in, with the Sonos app guiding you through the whole process.

The Sonos Ray is fantastic if you're on a budget, but if you want something more premium, then we suggest browsing our best soundbars instead.
