Best Prime Day Fire TV Deals

Amazon Prime Day 2022 is fast approaching, and while there are thousands of deals on all kinds of third-party products, there are perhaps no better deals than those on Amazon’s own products — like the Fire TV series. In other words, if you’re looking for the best Prime Day Fire TV deals, you’re in the right place.

Fire TV is Amazon’s smart TV operating system. It integrates with other Amazon products and supports streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and of course, Amazon Prime Video. The platform also has features like Alexa built into it, which you can use to access and control the content on your TV, find information from the web, and control your smart home devices. Amazon also calls the devices that run this software “Fire TV” devices. For example, there’s the Fire TV Stick.

Of course, on Prime Day there are other deals to consider too. Looking for some great Prime Day Apple deals? Or how about the best Prime Day headphones deals? Or, Prime Day Amazon device deals? Whatever you’re looking for, we’ve got you covered.

If you’re looking for the best Prime Day Fire TV deals, read on.

When is Prime Day 2022?

Amazon Prime Day 2022 will take place on July 12 and July 13. In other words, you’ll get two days of deals to take advantage of.

What is Prime Day?

Amazon Prime Day is one of the biggest shopping events of the year, and certainly Amazon’s biggest shopping event. During the event, Amazon heavily discounts its own products, like the Fire TV, Amazon Echo, and Ring security cameras. That said, third-party companies will offer discounts of their own — and ultimately, Prime Day will likely offer thousands of deals on a range of products,

Do I need Amazon Prime for Prime Day?

Unfortunately, yes. Prime Day deals are really only available to Amazon Prime members, so if you want to take advantage of the deals and don’t have Amazon Prime, you’ll need to sign up — though thankfully you can get a 30-day trial. Some discounts are available to Amazon Prime — for example, students can get Prime for six months for free. There are some other great deals for Prime members too — for example, Prime members can currently get channels like Starz and Showtime for $0.99 for two months.

Get Amazon Prime

How do I prepare for Amazon Prime Day?

For starters, you’ll want to make sure that you have a Prime subscription — otherwise, you won’t be able to actually take advantage of Prime Day deals. It’s also a good idea to make a list of the deals that you want during Prime Day, and bookmark-related roundups. Here’s a list of some of our Prime Day deals roundups:

Is Amazon Prime Day worth it?

Prime Day is worth checking out, especially if you have some purchases in mind already. There should be a deal for you.

Fire TV Stick 4K Max

When most people visit Amazon and check out the Fire TV Stick 4K Max price right now, they’ll see the regular retail price of $55 listed on the product page.

Of course, they don’t realize that there’s a special secret sale on Amazon. It slashes the price to just $34.99, making it even less expensive than the regular Fire TV Stick 4K, which is so much slower. On top of that, the regular model doesn’t include Wi-Fi 6 support.

Why pay $50 for that older model when the lightning-fast new Fire TV Stick 4K Max is down to $34.99? That matches this popular device’s lowest price ever… but there’s a catch

Not all Amazon customers are eligible for this unadvertised sale. But the BGR Deals team will show you how to find out if you can get in on the action.

Now, for the bad news. This deal is scheduled to end next week on June 30, 2022.

Amazon already extended the sale once, so there’s always a chance it could happen again. If not, this is your last chance to save on the best streaming media player Amazon has ever made.

This is Amazon’s best streaming device ever

The best-selling products we’ve been covering lately are definitely Apple AirPods. The cream of the crop is AirPods Pro, which are on sale right now for $174.99. That beats the lowest price of 2022 so far.

AirPods 3 are on sale as well, but with a $10 discount. That’s probably why so many people are getting AirPods 2 instead. Hurry and you can pick up a pair for just $118.99.

Of course, Amazon has also been offering some terrific deals on its own devices.

Each week, the retailer has been focusing mainly on one or two different Amazon device categories. Last week, Fire TV device deals took center stage. From streaming media players to full-fledged smart TVs, it was all on sale last week.

Unfortunately, all of those deals have now ended.

There are plenty of other great bargains on that Amazon deals page. But there’s one special deal you won’t find on that page or anywhere else. It slashes Amazon’s Fire TV Stick 4K Max price to an all-time low, and it might just be the hottest deal on Amazon’s entire site right now.

Secret Fire TV Stick Max 4K price discount

If you’re one of the lucky people eligible to get in on the action based on Amazon’s unknown criteria, you can slash the price of the $55 Fire TV Stick 4K Max down to just $34.99.

That is not a typo. It’s the lowest price ever for a Fire TV Stick 4K Max, matching Amazon’s deal from Black Friday last year.

Fire TV Stick 4K Max price discount on AmazonAs we mentioned, the only problem is that not everyone is eligible for this deal.

Go to the Fire TV Stick 4K Max page on Amazon’s website and you’ll see the normal $55 price. There is no indication whatsoever that Amazon is running a sale on this powerful streamer.

The BGR Deals team managed to dig up a secret page on the Amazon site. It details a special Fire TV Stick 4K Max price cut using the coupon code ADDFTV.

Here are the details from Amazon’s terms and conditions page:

If any of the products related to this offer are returned, your refund will equal the amount you paid for the product, subject to applicable refund policies.

Who gets this Fire TV Stick 4K Max price discount?

Now, it’s important to note that you need to give this deal a shot even if you don’t see that note because the special coupon might still work. Drop a Fire TV Stick 4K Max into your cart and use the promo code ADDFTV at checkout.

If you’re eligible for the deal, the price will drop to $34.99. If you’re not eligible for the deal, you’ll see a message that the coupon code is not valid.

Roku and Walmart's shoppable ads.

As effective as TV ads can be, they do require some work on the part of the viewer. If you see an ad for a product you want to buy, you have to search for it on your phone or head out to a store. But what if you could buy a product straight from the ad on TV? That’s what Roku and Walmart want to find out with their new “shoppable ads.”

In a press release last week, Roku and Walmart announced a new partnership to make your TV the next online shopping hub. As the companies explain, viewers will be able to purchase products fulfilled by Walmart directly on Roku while streaming.

Roku and Walmart debut “shoppable ads”

According to the press release, Walmart and Roku want to move beyond the QR code. If you see a product you want to purchase, just click through and buy it.

When a shoppable ad appears on your TV, you can press “OK” with your remote to proceed to checkout. This page will be pre-populated with your payment information from Roku Pay. If you click “OK” again, you will checkout through Walmart. You should receive a purchase confirmation in your email with shipping, return, and support information.

Roku and Walmart will let you buy products from ads on your TV.

“We’re making shopping on TV as easy as it is on social,” said Peter Hamilton, the Head of TV Commerce for Roku. “For years, streamers have purchased new Roku devices and signed up for millions of subscriptions with their Roku remote. Streaming commerce brings that same ease and convenience to marketers and shoppers.”

The press release also explains that Roku’s OneView ad-buying platform will “will have the exclusive capability to activate and measure these shoppable ads.” Furthermore, marketers can use the Roku Brand Studio to design custom content for TV shopping.

More Roku news

Roku has been making plenty of headlines lately, but not because of Walmart shoppable ads. Insider reported earlier this month that Netflix might be gearing up to buy Roku.

With Netflix planning to bring ads to its service in the near future, that would certainly be an effective way to kickstart the process. Even if we don’t see the Roku-Walmart shoppable ads while streaming Stranger Things, Roku does know how to sell ads.

One of the reasons Roku has become one of the biggest streaming platforms in the world is because of the volume of free content it offers. The crown jewel is The Roku Channel, which has thousands of on-demand shows and movies as well as live channels.

Here are some of the movies that The Roku Channel added this month for free:

  • Bridesmaids
  • Cast Away
  • Fifty Shades of Grey
  • Independence Day
  • Juno
  • Napoleon Dynamite
  • Pretty Woman
  • Signs
  • Taken
  • The Expendables

Now, you have a chance to see what all the fuss is about and save some money in the process. That’s because Furrion Aurora Full Shade Outdoor TVs and Furrion Aurora Partial Sun Outdoor TVs just got the first discounts ever on the newer models from last year.

This big sale likely won’t last very long, so you’ll need to hurry if you want to save. But if you do decide to get one now, you can save a bunch of money.

Prices start at just $956.99, which is impressive for outdoor TVs this good. And you can save up to a whopping $765 if you order a stunning Furrion Aurora 65-inch Partial Sun Outdoor TV.

Furrion outdoor TV deals and quick review

The company’s Aurora televisions are all characterized by a few important things.

First and foremost, Furrion outdoor TVs have high-quality display panels with dazzling brightness. An average TV like the one you have in your living room generally has a brightness rating of between 250 and 300 nits. Meanwhile, Furrion’s outdoor televisions are rated at between 350 and 700 nits, depending on the model you choose.

Furrion Outdoor TV Deals

Then, on top of that, Furrion Aurora TVs have a special anti-glare coating and automatic brightness control. That way, the screen is clear and bright as lighting conditions change throughout the day.

Long story short, these stunning televisions offer the ideal outdoor viewing experience.

I have a sunroom in the back of my home with big windows that face south. I put a TV back there when I first moved in, but it was impossible to watch during the day. The glare is a nightmare to deal with for pretty much the entire day until the sun sets each evening.

I decided to give up and move that TV to the basement. To be frank, it hadn’t even dawned on me to try an outdoor TV until Furrion reached out about testing one of its outdoor TVs.

Within minutes of setting up the Partial Sun Outdoor TV the company sent, I knew what all the fuss was about. Despite being hit with direct sunlight for much of the day, this TV is clear and bright.

Set it up indoors or outdoors

This should go without saying, but Furrion TVs are weatherproof. They are IP54-rated for resistance against rain, snow, UV rays, dirt, humidity, and even salt.

I wouldn’t recommend mounting one with no covering at all, but you could if you wanted to. Generally, people position these TVs under an awning or roof of some kind.

Or, if you have a bright sunroom like I do, Furrion Aurora TVs are perfect.

Furrion Aurora Partial Sun Outdoor TV mounted outside

Furrion Aurora Full Shade Outdoor TVs and Furrion Aurora Partial Sun Outdoor TVs are fantastic. If you have the need for an outdoor TV, you should definitely add Furrion to your shortlist.

In fact, you might want to just skip the suspense and pick up a Furrion model with these TV deals now.

For a limited time, several of Furrion’s hottest models are on sale on Amazon with deep discounts. You’ll save up to $174 on Full Shade models, which means the entry-level price is now just $964.99.

Partial Sun models have deeper discounts, so you can save up to $765!

Fire TV Stick 4K

With Father’s Day 2022 right around the corner, Amazon has really turned up the heat. All of the most popular Amazon devices are on sale right now. And you can see all the offers right here, including discounts on Echo speakers and Echo Show smart displays. But it’s Amazon’s Fire TV Stick deals that really have everyone talking.

And Amazon is offering the lowest Fire TV Stick prices of the year for Father’s Day 2022.

BGR Deals readers are swarming Amazon to get the Fire TV Stick Lite while it’s down to $19.99. Also, the Fire TV Stick 4K that’s on sale for $34.99 instead of $50 is even more popular. That should be no surprise, of course. With 4K and HDR for that great price, it’s no wonder our readers prefer the 4K model.

But before you buy the regular 4K model, you should know that the $55 Fire TV Stick 4K Max can be had for just $34.99 thanks to a secret sale we found.

Or, if you’re not eligible for the secret sale, you can still score one for $44.99.

In addition to those terrific deals, there’s another one that we definitely need to mention.

You love Fire TV devices because they give you access to all your favorite streaming media apps. And you love Echo smart speakers because they give you hands-free access to Alexa. Why not combine the two?!

Amazon is offering the beloved Fire TV Cube for just $69.99 instead of $120. That’s the lowest price of 2022 by a wide margin. This awesome little gadget is basically a Fire TV Stick 4K combined with an Echo Dot, and people absolutely love it. There’s no better time to find out what all the fuss is about than right now.

The bad news is that all of these awesome Fire TV Stick deals and the Fire TV Cube deal are likely going to end soon. That means you don’t have long to get in on the action.

Fire TV Stick deals for Father’s Day 2022

Fire TV Stick Deals

Amazon’s beloved Fire TV lineup is neck and neck with Roku in terms of popularity among our readers. Now, the most affordable product in that lineup is even more affordable thanks to a big discount. Head to Amazon and you’ll find the Fire TV Stick Lite on sale for just $19.99.

For those unaware of this latest addition to Amazon’s Fire TV lineup, the device itself is exactly the same as the regular Fire TV Stick. The only difference is the remote, which is still an Alexa Voice Remote but doesn’t have the extra power and volume buttons to control your TV.

If that’s not a deal-breaker for you, definitely take advantage of this bargain.

On top of that, you can also save even more by upgrading to the king of Amazon’s streaming dongles, the Fire TV Stick 4K. There is perhaps no streaming media player at the $50 price point that comes anywhere close to matching the Fire TV Stick 4K, and it’s on sale right now for just $34.99.

And finally, if you want it all you can pick up a $120 Fire TV Cube on sale for $69.99. It’s basically a Fire TV Stick 4K combined with an Echo Dot, as we described earlier. People love it so much, and this is the lowest price of the year.

These Fire TV Stick deals are all likely to end soon. This might be your last chance to save big on Fire TV devices until Prime Day this summer!

Secret sale on the Fire TV Stick 4K Max

In addition to the deals mentioned above, Amazon says is running another sale that’s hidden. Lucky for you, we’re about to let the cat out of the bag.

If you pick up a Fire TV Stick 4K Max with the coupon code ADDFTV, you’ll pay just $34.99 instead of $55. That matches Amazon’s lowest price ever, so you know you’re getting an incredible deal. It’s also the exact same price as the standard Fire TV Stick 4K while it’s on sale for $34.99!

There is one catch, of course. Come on… you knew there had to be a catch. Amazon’s terms and conditions say that this deal is for “qualifying customers” only. We’re not sure what that means since it’s intentionally vague.

The bottom line is this: try it. Enter the coupon code at checkout and if it works, you get Amazon’s best streamer ever at the lowest price of all time. If it doesn’t work, you’ve lost nothing.

Sonos is no stranger to high-quality audio. Ever since its first speakers, the company has been known as a great option for those who want solid audio quality at an affordable price. That can be seen in its latest soundbar, the Sonos Ray, which comes at $279. But what if you have more money to spend and want a higher-quality experience? Sonos has something for you too — in the form of the Sonos Arc.

The Sonos Arc is its highest-end soundbar, above both the Sonos Ray and Sonos Beam. It’s not cheap, at $899 for the soundbar alone, and you’ll have to pay extra if you want the deeper bass on offer by the company’s subwoofer.

Does the Sonos Arc do enough to warrant its higher price? Or should you stick with the cheaper Sonos Beam or Sonos Ray? I’ve been using the Arc for a while now to find out.

Sonos Arc

Pros

  • Premium design
  • Excellent sound
  • Immersive audio
  • Super smart features

Cons

  • No HDMI passthrough

Sonos Arc design

The first thing to notice about the Sonos Arc, especially when compared to its other soundbars, is how wide it is. That helps play into its sound quality, of course, but it does mean you’ll have to find a good spot to place it on your TV stand or entertainment center. The soundbar is 45 inches wide, which isn’t small by any means. Many will be able to place the soundbar in front of their TV, but if you do, make sure you don’t cover up things like IR receivers if you need them. It sits in at 3.4 inches tall, which is a little taller than many other models, but still an acceptable height.

The soundbar is available in black and white, and we’re reviewing the white model. I prefer the black look, but I’m boring. Some might want something that stands out a little more, and to be fair, mounted on a wall the white probably blends in a little better.

On the back, the Arc is a little bare-bones — which will be fine for some, and not great for others. The soundbar basically just has a power input and an HDMI port that you’ll connect to your TV’s eARC port. You will get an optical to HDMI adapter to use with an optical port from TV. But, you won’t be able to use Dolby Atmos if you do so. There’s also an Ethernet port for better network connectivity.

Pretty much the entire front, top, and sides are covered with hole-punch speaker grilles. This is because of the fact that the soundbar is designed to simulate surround sound by bouncing audio off the walls and ceiling. It doesn’t look bad though, and in fact, everything is built from premium, high-end materials.

Sonos Arc setup

Setting up the Sonos Arc is relatively easy, and if you’ve set up a Sonos speaker in the past, you should have no issues setting up the Arc.

To set the Arc up, you’ll start by connecting it to your TV and plugging it in. Then, open the Sonos app, and if you have an account, make sure you’re signed in. Under the Settings tab, hit the Add New Product button, and then follow the on-screen instructions.

After basic setup, it’s worth setting up Trueplay. Sonos’ Trueplay basically tunes the speaker based on your room. The way sound interacts with its environment, like the room shape, your furniture, and so on, can change how it sounds quite a lot. Trueplay helps ensure that it’ll sound great regardless of your room. You can set up Trueplay through the Settings menu for the soundbar.

I did have a few issues with setting up the Arc with my account and existing Sonos speaker. These issues seemed to be related to needing to update the app and the other Sonos speaker in the house. Make sure everything is up to date before you start setting up the Arc.

Sonos Arc smart features

Of course, the design is one thing — but much more important are the features and sound quality on offer. Thankfully, the Sonos Arc seriously competes in both of those things.

Sonos Beam ButtonsImage source: Christian de Looper for BGR

Let’s start with the features on offer here, and there are a number to go through. For starters, the soundbar supports Apple’s AirPlay 2, meaning that you can access it from your default audio apps on your iPhone, and use it for multi-room audio. As someone with a few Sonos speakers, and a few HomePods around the house, it’s super nice to be able to play to all of them, instead of having to stick with one brand. Unfortunately, the Arc doesn’t support Google Cast. So you won’t get the same experience out of Apple’s ecosystem unless you go with an all-Sonos setup and use the Sonos app to play music.

But you’re not completely out of luck if you’re a Google user. Like other Sonos speakers, the Arc supports Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. That means that you can use your preferred digital Assistant (except for Siri) to control your smart home devices, control your music, and get information from the web.

Of course, there are also the audio-related features — but we’ll get into those in the next section.

Sonos Arc sound

The Sonos Arc is Sonos’ highest-end, and as such, you would expect it to sound great. Thankfully, it does. The Sonos Arc outperforms every soundbar I’ve tried to date.

I tested the Sonos Arc by itself. That’s to say, I didn’t use it with any Sonos subwoofer, nor did I use it with surround speakers. Even without a subwoofer, the Arc was able to deliver deep and impactful bass response, ensuring that things like explosions sound nice and big. It offers the kind of bass you can hear — but not the kind you can feel. For that, you will need a sub, but don’t think that you won’t get a good experience without a sub. It’s just that you’ll get a better one with a sub.

The mids on the soundbar are well-tuned and decently accurate. And, the highs make for a detailed and clear experience. This is perhaps the main thing that I noticed moving from the Beam to the Arc.

Surround sound

One of the best things about the Arc is that it supports a range of modern audio formats, and is able to reproduce them with speakers that face up and to the sides. The device supports Dolby Atmos, TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby Digital. You’ll need to have a TV compatible with these formats to take advantage of them.

The soundbar is able to deliver a decently immersive experience. Part of that is owed to the fact that the soundbar is so wide, but Sonos has done a great job at creating a technology that makes it sound like there’s actually audio coming from multiple sides. If you didn’t know that the Arc was actually bouncing audio off the ceiling and walls, you might actually believe that there were more speakers there.

Now, that’s not to discount the role of actual surround speakers — and if you have the space and money, pairing the Arc with a few Sonos One speakers for surround sound is definitely worth it. The Arc gets as close as it can to true immersion, but if you truly want the full experience, you’ll need a subwoofer and some dedicated surround speakers.

Conclusions

BGR Platinum Award 2022

The Sonos Arc is a home run for Sonos. It’s more expensive than its other offerings, to be sure, but if you can afford it, it’s worth the cash. The soundbar is detailed and immersive, and while a sub can help, alone the Arc still delivers deep and powerful sound.

So much so, that the Arc is perfect for audiophiles or home theater enthusiasts who don’t have the space or the money for an actual surround sound system. You’ll need to make sure that you have a TV that supports the modern audio standards, but if you do, you’ll love what the Arc has to offer.

The competition

The Sonos Arc isn’t the only high-end soundbar out there, but after reviewing it, I’m convinced that it’s the best soundbar at $900 or less, and better than many soundbars more expensive than that. If you don’t have a system that supports Dolby Atmos and other modern audio standards, then it may be worth going for the Sonos Beam instead of the Arc. But regardless, whether you’re already in Sonos’ ecosystem or not, the Arc is well worth considering.

Should I buy the Sonos Arc?

Yes. It’s the best soundbar to beat under $1,000 right now.

Should I buy the Sonos Arc or Sonos Beam?

If you can afford to buy the Sonos Arc, it’s worth upgrading to it over the Sonos Beam. The Sonos Beam is an excellent soundbar, but it’s not quite as impressive as the higher-end (and larger) Sonos Arc.

Is Sonos Arc good for movies?

Yes. The Sonos Arc is excellent for movies, thanks to its deep bass and support for immersive standards like Dolby Atmos.

Sonos Ray Main

All of Sonos’ soundbar releases have been well-received. The company has managed to combine high sound quality with awesome smart features to deliver a great modern home audio experience. Add in the fact that those soundbars integrate with the rest of Sonos’ smart home products, and you have a hit on your hands. But those soundbars have also all been at least midrange, costing $449 for what was the entry-level Sonos Beam.

But now there’s a new entry-level in town, and it’s the first in Sonos’ soundbar range to be truly a budget offering. At $279, the Sonos Ray is being positioned as the soundbar for those who want an upgrade from their TV’s built-in audio, without having to shell out for it.

But, of course, to hit the lower price point Sonos has to cut some corners. Some of those are clearly to do with sound quality and sound-related features. Unlike Sonos’ other soundbars, the Ray doesn’t support Dolby Atmos. In fact, it doesn’t even have an HDMI port, which means that you have to connect it through its optical connection.

But assuming you can tolerate those compromises and could stand to save some cash, the Sonos Ray is a serious competitor. Here’s why.

Sonos Ray

Rating: 3.5 Stars
BGR may receive a commission

Pros

  • Good-looking design
  • Solid audio quality
  • AirPlay 2 support
  • Inexpensive

Cons

  • Relies on optical connection
  • Remote support is spotty

Sonos Ray design

Take one look at the Sonos Ray, and you’ll recognize it as a Sonos product. It’s built from the same black or white plastic and metal as Sonos other soundbars and speakers, and looks right at home alongside the company’s other products. As mentioned, the soundbar is available in black, or white. We’re reviewing the black model, which I prefer — but the white model looks good too.

It also looks distinctly different from Sonos’ other soundbars. The most obvious thing that sets it apart is its width — the Sonos Arc is a hefty 45 inches, while the Beam is a much smaller, at 26 inches. The Ray is even smaller than that, sitting in at 22 inches. It’s not just small by Sonos standards — it’s small by soundbar standards in general. But many will appreciate the smaller profile that draws less attention to itself.

Sonos Ray GrilleImage source: Christian de Looper for BGR

The way the soundbar is built is a little different too. The Arc and Beam both have a grille that not only covers the front, but the sides too — which helps allow those products support Dolby Atmos with up-firing and/or side-firing speakers. The Ray doesn’t have that same support — and as a result, doesn’t need a grille on the side or the top. Instead, the grille is only located at the front. I actually prefer it from a looks perspective, though of course, I’m willing to trade having a grille on the top and sides for better audio support. You may not be in the same camp.

On the back of the Sonos Ray can be found the ports that it connects with. You’ll get a power input and an ethernet port for better network connectivity, like the others. But while the others also have a HDMI port to connect to your TV’s HDMI ARC port, the Ray sticks with a lower-tech optical port. That’s the extent of the port selection on the Ray.

Generally, I quite like the overall look of the soundbar — but I wasn’t surprised to like it, as I’ve liked the design of all of Sonos’ products so far.

Sonos Ray setup

Setting up the Sonos Ray is as easy as setting up any other Sonos device. You’ll start by plugging it in and connecting it to your TV through an optical cable. Then, you’ll download the Sonos app if you don’t already have it, and log in to your account if you have one. Find the soundbar with the app, and register it to your account.

There aren’t too many other features you can set up with the Ray, but there is the ability to set up the device with AirPlay 2, if you’re in Apple’s ecosystem.

Control woes

One feature that you can’t set up is the ability to use it with HDMI CEC. That’s the standard used by many devices to allow for one remote to control an entire home theater, and it doesn’t work here because the soundbar doesn’t work through an HDMI port. This can be a bigger issue than you might think. You can set the soundbar up to recognize commands from your TV’s infrared remote, but support for this can be a little hit or miss. For example, I was unable to get my TCL 6-Series remote to work with the feature, however, it did work with my Apple TV remote, which is the remote I use with my home theater anyway.

Sonos Ray ButtonsImage source: Christian de Looper for BGR

If you can’t get it to work, you may be a little out of luck without buying a third-party remote. Sonos doesn’t ship the Ray with a remote of its own, so if you can’t get it to accept commands from your TV remote, you’ll have to control the Ray with the Sonos app, use the controls on the soundbar itself, or buy another remote that will work with the Ray. That’s pretty annoying. And, if your TV works through Bluetooth, you’re out of luck too, as the Ray is built to accept commands through infrared. If you have a universal remote, you should be able to get it to work.

All of this could have been avoided if Sonos had just used an HDMI port instead of an optical port in the Ray. The Ray still would have differentiated itself from the Beam through things like a lack of voice assistant and Dolby Atmos. The Ray really suffers from having to rely on an optical connection.

Sonos Ray smart features

The Sonos Ray supports some smart features, like many of Sonos’ other products. But it’s also missing many of the features that make Sonos products…well…Sonos products. That’s a little disappointing, but depending on your priorities, perhaps not a dealbreaker.

Let’s start with what the soundbar does have. As mentioned, the soundbar supports Apple’s AirPlay 2, meaning that you can use it with multi-room audio in Apple’s ecosystem without needing to use the Sonos app. It also supports Spotify Connect, so Spotify users will be able to play music to the soundbar in the Spotify app.

Sonos Ray ControlsImage source: Christian de Looper for BGR

You can also set the Ray up to work with a Sonos subwoofer and Sonos speakers for surround. I didn’t do this, as my living room doesn’t really lend itself to a surround setup. But it can be done, even if the subwoofer costs almost triple the soundbar itself.

But that’s about where the smart features end. Unlike almost all of Sonos other smart speakers, the Ray does not support Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, or even Sonos’ own voice assistant, as it doesn’t have a built-in microphone. I don’t necessarily care about that, as I use Apple devices in my home and thus rely on AirPlay 2 instead, which is present. But those in Google and Amazon’s ecosystem will need to keep the lack of support in mind.

Sonos Ray sound

The Sonos Ray isn’t as packed with speakers as some of Sonos’ other speakers, but thankfully it still sounds pretty good, especially for a device in this price range. The Ray has four speakers — two “woofers” and two tweeters. I put woofers in quotes because they’re a little small, but they can still deliver decently warm low mids and some bass.

Despite the fact that the Ray doesn’t quite support the same level of deep bass as some of Sonos’ other products, it can still reach decently low levels. You’ll get some rumble in the low-end, but none of the chest-thumping bass that you would get from a subwoofer. Most will find the bass response good enough, and certainly a big step up from the bass on offer by your TV’s built-in speakers.

Sonos Ray SideImage source: Christian de Looper for BGR

Perhaps the best thing about the Sonos Ray’s frequency response has to do with the fact that it’s able to deliver clear, crisp vocals, making it very easy to hear dialog. In general, I found the Ray to offer decent high-end clarity, which always makes for a better listening experience.

But of course, the Ray doesn’t offer as good of a listening experience as Sonos’ more expensive soundbars, nor would you expect it to. The Ray is built to deliver stereo audio, which simply can’t get as immersive as the Beam and Arc, which support more immersive audio formats. It’s a little disappointing given the fact that some other sub-$300 soundbars support 3D sound formats.

What those other soundbars don’t support, of course, is Sonos’ Trueplay. Trueplay is built to tune a speaker to your room. All speakers sound different depending on how audio interacts with a room, and Trueplay is able to circumvent some of that. It has long been one of Sonos’ standout features, however, it currently only works on iOS. That’s likely because it uses your phone’s microphone to determine how frequencies interact with your room, and there’s a lot of variation in microphones in Android phones.

Conclusions

The Sonos Ray is another excellent product from Sonos, but as you would expect, it’s not without compromises. I see the biggest of those the fact that it relies on an optical port instead of HDMI, which introduces all kinds of complications around remote control and interoperability. But there’s also the fact that it’s limited to stereo audio, and doesn’t have a voice assistant.

But many will be able to look past those things — especially if they can get the soundbar to work with their TV’s remote. Those people will love the Ray, as a budget soundbar that looks good and sounds great.

The competition

The budget soundbar world isn’t without some serious competition, and perhaps the most obvious of that competition comes from Vizio. I find the frequency response to be better on the Ray to the other budget offerings I’ve tested, though some of those options support things like Dolby Atmos, like some of TCL’s soundbars. But the Sonos Ray is still generally better-sounding, which is what counts most.

Of course, there’s also the Sonos Beam. The Beam is $449, which is a fair bit more than the Ray — but if you can stretch to buy it, it is a better option.

Should I buy the Sonos Ray?

Yes. If you’re looking for a budget soundbar and aren’t willing to stretch for the Beam, the Ray is an excellent option.

aarooGo Remote Control for Apple TV

Apple finally released a new Apple TV 4K model on April 30, 2021. It’s great, but there’s really only one new feature that most people care about: the new Apple TV remote replacement. That’s right, it has a new Siri remote that replaces the horrendous one from Apple’s earlier Apple TV models.

But wait, there’s even more good news. You can get the new Siri remote on its own to use with an Apple TV model you already have. Plus, it’s discounted right now if you hurry.

There’s just one problem though, and I’m sure you can guess what it is. Yup, the new Siri remote is way too expensive. $59 for a little tiny remote control?! The new remote looks cool and all, but I’m going to go ahead and pass. Even while it has a slight discount on Amazon, it still costs $55.

Spending another $55-$59 just to get rid of Apple’s God-awful remote is a pretty big kick in the pants. The good news is that there’s an awesome Apple TV remote replacement you can get instead called the aarooGo Remote Control for Apple TV.

And it only costs $14.99 on Amazon!

Are you in the market for a new Apple TV 4K anyway? If that’s the case, the new Siri remote is a great perk. The new Apple TV 4K is actually discounted right now at Amazon, so it’s a good time to get one. In fact, it starts at just $149.99 today, which is the best price of the year so far.

But if you already have an Apple TV, you might not want to buy a whole new box just for the remote.

The Best Apple TV remote replacement I’ve found

Everyone loves Apple’s incredible designs. Apple has repeatedly shown that it considers every last detail when designing a new gadget.

It goes without saying at this point that Apple sets the bar across the industry for every single one of its product categories, and the company’s rivals always copy Apple’s work.

From smartphones and tablets to desktop computers, laptops, and even the Apple Watch, nearly all of Apple’s designs are beloved and shamelessly copied.

Apple TV Remote Replacement

That’s why it’s still so astonishing to Apple fans that the company managed to create the single worst remote control that has ever existed. But today, I have some good news: there’s finally an Apple TV remote replacement that doesn’t stink and doesn’t cost a whopping $59.

It’s called the aarooGo Remote Control for Apple TV and it’s just $14.99 on Amazon!

What makes it great?

Touchpads are awesome. They provide a magnificent way to interface with so many different kinds of devices. The list of products to which that applies is a mile long… but remote controls are not on it.

The Apple TV’s previous-generation Siri remote is a constant source of frustration for Apple fans all around the world. The touchpad is horrendous, causing people to misclick constantly. Everyone hates it, which is why Apple finally redesigned the Siri remote in 2021.

aarooGo Remote Control Replacement for Apple TV

Basically, the aarooGo Remote Control for Apple TV is an Apple TV remote with no touchpad. That’s pretty much the only thing you need to know.

The new AarooGo replacement remote has physical buttons for every Apple TV function except for one, and that’s the Siri button.

Siri is great on the Apple TV, of that there is no doubt. But I’m willing to bet every single previous-generation Apple TV owner reading this right now will happily ditch Siri to get a remote that isn’t a nightmare to use. Plus, you can always use the Remote app on your iPhone if you want Siri.

That includes the 1st-generation Apple TV (model number A1218), 2nd-generation Apple TV (A1378), 3rd-generation Apple TV (A1427 or A1469), Apple TV HD 32GB and 64GB (A1625), and Apple TV 4K 32GB and 64GB (A1842).

If you have a streaming media player with an Apple logo on it, this remote will work.

When it comes to TV functions like power, volume, and mute, all the major brands are covered. On top of that, the setup is wonderfully simple.

Apple TV remote replacement programing chart

The aarooGo Remote Control for Apple TV comes with a chart that lists all major TV brands, and you can see it above. There are two buttons shown next to each TV brand. Find your TV manufacturer and hold down the two corresponding buttons until the LED on the remote turns solid red.

If your TV brand isn’t on that chart, you can contact the manufacturer for help or just try each of the button pairs until you find the one that works.

It should go without saying that this awesome little Apple TV replacement remote is a must-have. Every single Apple TV owner out there who has the old monstrosity of a remote needs this accessory. And as I mentioned, it only costs $14.99 on Amazon.

Home theater projectors can still be a terrific option, especially if you want a giant screen. TVs with screens over 75 or 80 inches in size cost thousands and thousands of dollars. But you can spend as little as a few hundred dollars on a projector and get a gigantic 100+ inch screen.

If you have a home theater projector or you’re in the market for one and you want a well-reviewed screen that’s not going to cost a fortune, we’ve got just the thing. And no, you won’t have to spend $500, $250, or even $100 to pick one up.

We found a massive 120-inch projector screen on Amazon that has thousands of 4-star and 5-star ratings. And believe it or not, it’s on sale today for just $17.97 thanks to a new lower retail price and an extra discount!

Best home theater projector screen deal

There are plenty of great options out there these days for big-screen TVs that are remarkably affordable. A great example is this top-rated 75-inch 4K Fire TV that’s currently just $699.99 on Amazon.

But if you want a REALLY big television that’s 80 inches or larger, you’ll need to spend thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars to get something decent. What you might not realize, however, is that there’s another option that costs so much less.

Home theater projectors from leading brands often cost a small fraction of what you would pay for a huge TV. And yet many models support a nice clear image that can go up to 150 inches, or even larger.

For example, the #1 best-selling FANGOR 1080p Portable Movie Projector supports screen sizes up to 230 inches — or almost 27 feet. Incredibly, it’s only $159.99 right now while it’s on sale.

P-JING home theater projector screenOf course, projecting onto a wall isn’t optimal. That’s why many people get annoyed that they have to also purchase a projector screen for hundreds more. Lucky for you, we found an awesome option that costs next to nothing.

Definitely check out the P-JING PJ-TYB 120-Inch Projector Screen. It’s a terrific foldable screen with a no-crease design that Amazon shoppers have been loving.

You can mount it permanently on your wall or fold it and use it as a portable screen. Also, it has a no-crease design that eliminates the lines that bother people on most portable projector screens.

Does it deliver? Well, this model has already racked up more than 8,300 5-star reviews on Amazon. Additionally, the best part is the price!

P-JING home theater screen fast facts

This P-JING model is definitely one of the best home theater projector screens you can buy. It has nearly 8,300 5-star Amazon reviews plus another 1,000 4-star reviews. That’s beyond impressive.

You can pick one up on sale today for just $17.97 thanks to a new lower retail price at Amazon. Of note, the same best-selling P-JING projector screen at Walmart costs $28.99.

Here are some key takeaways to keep in mind if you’re considering the P-JING PJ-TYB 120-Inch Projector Screen:

  • This high-quality home theater movie projector screen is made from natural polyester fabric. It unfolds to a massive 120 inches despite being portable and only weighing 2.2lbs.
  • Worried about wrinkles? Just hang it up inside or outside and watch the wrinkles disappear. This screen is also brighter than most comparable screens. That means you will see a clearer picture in rooms that aren’t pitch black.
  • If the screen gets dusty, simply wipe it clean with a wet cloth.
  • Perfect for watching movies, sports, photos, music videos, video games, and more.
  • Includes 12 metal finished grommets for mounting, as well as wall hooks and cuttable rope.
  • Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
  • Included in the package: a 16:9 screen (diagonal 120” with a 104″ x 58″ viewing area), a 16-pack of peel and stick hooks, and two 5-meter ropes.
