Is the Ring Chime Plus worth it?

A plug-in Ring chime that makes alerts easier to hear

The Ring Chime Plus (newest model) is built around one practical choice: it turns alerts from compatible Ring devices into a clear, audible signal in the room. That matters when your phone is elsewhere or a doorbell sound could disappear into normal household noise. Ring says the improved audio is designed for crisp clarity and loudness, while the buyer overview notes that customers appreciate the adjustable volume and chime choices.

The useful detail is that the sound is not one-size-fits-all. You can set a custom tone for each compatible Ring device, so the alert itself can tell you which camera, doorbell, or sensor was triggered. That removes a small but irritating step: checking the app before you know what happened.

The Chime Plus also combines the alert with a built-in night-light. You can schedule when the audio alerts and light operate, which lets the device fit a daily routine rather than interrupt every hour of it. It plugs in easily and has rounded edges with textured panelling, so the hardware is straightforward rather than visually demanding. The marketing skips one part that matters: compatibility is not universal, especially for Ring Sensors, so verify your devices before buying.
