Amazing sound. Do you go with 2 300s or 100s for surrounds? That's the most common question. If you are looking to add on surround or upgrading from say Play1s, the 100s are absolutely the best route to go. 300's are very expensive for 1 unit are awesome speakers, but when in surround mode, the center speaker on the 300 is disabled intentionally. You also have to position the 300s in a certain way in order to get the full effect of Atmos, For the 100s, you can sit them right behind you, internal speakers are not disabled so why spend $800 for 2 300s when you can spend half that for 2 100s?!

Originally would have given this 4 stars. Sound quality was excellent, easy to hook up and use. But the TruePlay option was not working with the iPhone 15. Sonos has since updated their app and this works great and the sound is even better. Price was somewhat on the high side for the quality, but the features make that cost easier to swallow. Speakers pair easily with the Arc and Sub for a true surround sound experience. Was purchased as a package with the Sub and Arc.

Sonos already had a good thing going with the One speaker, but this levels the experience up significantly. The larger woofer provides deeper, richer bass, and the stereo tweeters give a much wider soundstage and allow you to better distinguish different layers of the music, rather than downmixing to mono like the One and making everything sound like it's coming from a single point in space. You'll be shocked at the quality of sound that comes from this speaker. If you're in the market for something like this, just get one of these. I probably wouldn't consider a One over this, even at its cheaper price, unless you're on a very tight budget. This model is really worth the extra ~$50.

Love the speaker and its size. Bass can be felt through the grill as it pushes air. Price can be a bit lower but i have no complaints.

Sonos makes the best speakers. I got two of these to setup surround sound. It's awesome to hear! Cons - The price lol

Sound quality is very good and cost is little bit high but it's negligible once we fall into Sonos Era world…

I only bought this because I already have a Sonos system and I wanted to connect my record player to the networked audio system. Sadly, until this came out, my only option was a Sonos Connect for like $500. This was way cheaper, as I could use a usb-c to aux adapter to connect my record player to the Sonos system. Sadly, the speaker does not come with the adapter, and ONLY the Sonos brand adapter will work. How? No clue. Why? No clue. I had to spend an extra $20 on an adapter that other brands sell for $10. But IMO, a speaker of this price should have come with it.

Sonos Era 100 Review The Good • Sound quality • Ability to setup stereo pair for immersive playback • Touch Controls and touch strip • Expandability within the Sonos ecosystem. • Line in Port – Not Tested • App • Bluetooth • Design Cons • Can be pricey The Review: If you're looking for a great sounding speaker that can be updated and the flexibility of adding more speakers for even greater sound, the ability to stream just about any music source and the option to create a wireless whole house system, then you want to look at this speaker. I’ve heard of Sonos throughout the years, however I never looked into it due to the cost of ownership and the fact that I never really understood how the system worked. This speaker has opened my eyes to just how amazing it is to play the same audio in any room, alone or all at the same time to create a truly immersive experience in your home. Once you understand the Sonos system and what it can do for you, you realize that while it is expensive, it offers a number of things to you all in one system that I have yet to see from any other company. Let me start by saying that while sound is subjective, I truly believe that the sound that comes out of this speaker is very balanced and sounds great with everything I play on it. The highs are crisp and clear, the mids are very balanced, and the low end is nice and full as well as punchy. I have listened to many genres from Pop, R&B, Hip Hop, Indie Rock, Alternative and Dance EDM. I’m very happy with how all of them sound and as weird as it might sound, I enjoy using this speaker because of just how good I think it makes everything sound. Note: You can add a second Ere 100 and set it up as a stereo pair and really increase the output and experience that you get from this product. The design of this speaker is also very nice. I love how the top touch controls are very responsive and very accurate at the same time. They feel almost natural and haven’t given any false input yet. The touch strip at the top of the speaker makes it easy to slide your finger up and down to make fast volume changes, and it can be very satisfying to use. The top of the speaker also has microphones so that you can use voice control for your preferred assistant (Google Home, Alexa) I personally use Alexa to control lights and listen to weather updates and it works great even when listening to music at higher volume, it can detect my voice. For those wondering you can disable the microphones via a toggle switch on the back of the speaker. There is also a button for Bluetooth on the back if you’re looking to quickly connect a device outside of the Sonos system. Good Job with the design of the controls Sonos. Now let's talk about the feature that I believe makes Sonos so special. I have always wanted to be able to play music throughout my house all at once. To be able to walk around the house and hear the same content as you walk through the rooms, there is just something so magical about that to me. The Sonos app makes all of this possible. Its super easy to group and ungroup speakers together and the controls in the app allow you to control the volume of each speaker or group in each room giving you total control of the over sound. Oh and another cool thing about the App volume control is when you have a group setup and adjust the main volume slider, it adjusts all volumes in that group simultaneously, keeping each rooms respective volume setting proportionate to how they were set. Like magic!! The other nice thing to know when buying into this ecosystem is that you can always grow your system to suit your needs as time goes on. This is the other feature that made me choose to buy into Sonos. Something that a lot of people have been asking for was a line-in port on a next gen speaker and Sonos has delivered. Now I can't comment on this feature on the Era 100, due to the separate dongle that is needed to allow you to use the speaker to connect a non-Sonos audio device into the system was not available at the time of this review. I have however used this feature on another Sonos product and the experience with that was good. I am being told this should be the same on the Era 100. The only time there was a slight delay, was when you group the line in device with other speakers, because the system has to process the analog signal on the line-in and send it to the other speakers in your system. But honestly this isn’t a big deal at all unless you are trying to use content with zero latency. The fact that you can take a turntable and plug it into this speaker and then broadcast that audio throughout your home is really cool. The Sonos App is by far one of the best music/audio source interfaces that I have ever used. You can literally add multiple streaming apps on top of multiple streaming apps. If you have Spotify or other streaming accounts and other family members have their own, you can add them too! You will be able to select the account you want to listen to from the music source page. The app also has many many features that allow fine control of your products and has been really enjoyable to use. It makes the speaker that much better having a good interface for using it. I will say that using this speaker for the past week has been a really good experience. So much so that I went out an purchased an Arc Soundbar, Sub and One SL’s for surrounds. That’s a whole different review but just know that I wasn’t planning on being this impressed and by falling in love with the Sound Quality and the Operation of this speaker. It’s a rare thing but I can whole heartily recommend this speaker and any other product from Sonos. Give yourself time to learn the ins and outs and you will be very happy. The only downside I could think of is that the speaker may not be in everyone’s budget. The products are pricey but for once, I believe you get what you pay for.
