I made a small error in judgement with this speaker in my setup, so I hope this helps anyone who is looking at this speaker for their home setup.
Purchased the Sonos Era 300 as a standalone speaker with the idea of connecting it to my TV for a better home theater solution. While this can work if you choose to do so, I chose a different path after some tweaking with the other Sonos products. Sonos products are expensive and can't be labeled as a value but don't get me wrong they are a great product.
Some pros for this Sonos 300 Speaker:
Immersive and spacious soundstage.
Deep, Impactful bass performance.
Supports Dolby Atmos for enhanced audio experiences.
Versatile connectivity options including Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
One of the advantages of this speaker is its Bluetooth capability as it can be connected to any device that supports it. Ultimately, I decided to use this speaker as a standalone for streaming music in our home.
To unleash the pure power of the Sonos 300 for streaming, Apple Music and Amazon support Dolby Atmos and its a game changer. Even if you use Spotify or others, the sound is amazing, but playing an Atmos track on this device is another experience.
Fair Warning - if you wish to purchase this speaker and connect it to a Sonos soundbar, you will need (2) of them to pair it. When I tried to pair this (1) speaker with the soundbar I was unable to. I ended up pairing the the Sonos Beam Soundbar with the Sonos Sub Mini, which was the perfect compliment for my room. These speakers are powerful and can be paired as mentioned with any Sonos soundbar, and would be more beneficial in a larger room.
In review, the Sonos Era 300 stands out as a high-quality smart speaker, offering a rich and immersive audio experience however you decide to use it.

I recently purchased a Bluetooth speaker, and I am extremely satisfied with my choice. This speaker has exceeded my expectations in terms of sound quality, design, and functionality.
Firstly, let's talk about the sound quality. The speaker delivers rich, clear, and immersive audio that truly fills the room. Whether I'm listening to my favorite tracks or watching a movie, the bass is deep and punchy, while the highs are crisp and detailed. The overall sound balance is exceptional, allowing me to enjoy a wide range of genres without any distortion or muddiness.
The design of this Bluetooth speaker is also worth mentioning. It has a sleek and modern look that easily complements any decor. The compact size makes it portable and easy to carry around, making it perfect for both indoor and outdoor use. The build quality is sturdy, and the controls are conveniently placed for effortless operation.
When it comes to functionality, this speaker doesn't disappoint. Pairing it with my devices was a breeze, thanks to its reliable Bluetooth connectivity. It also supports multiple input options, such as AUX and USB, which adds versatility to its usage. Additionally, the battery life is impressive, allowing me to enjoy hours of uninterrupted playback on a single charge.
Another noteworthy feature is the built-in microphone, which enables hands-free calling. The speaker picks up voices clearly, and the call quality is exceptional. This functionality has been particularly useful during conference calls or when I want to have a hands-free conversation with friends and family.
Overall, I highly recommend this Bluetooth speaker to anyone in search of an excellent audio experience. Its remarkable sound quality, stylish design, and user-friendly features make it a standout product in its category. Whether you're hosting a party, going on a trip, or simply relaxing at home, this speaker will undoubtedly enhance your music listening experience.

This speaker not only exceeded expectations on the volume front; however, the crisp sound quality left nothing else to be desired. It was easy to set up, user friendly (as far as instructions are concerned), and wonderful listen to. If you are considering the purchase… BUY IT!

Initially had some connection woes (setting a static IP on my mesh router for this device fixed them for me), but after it was all set up, this has been such a pleasant addition to our home.
Produces a very pleasant, full bodied sound, that fills our living room well, especially when playing Dolby Atmos tracks.
The Sonos app needs some work imho, but the hardware is fantastic.

The Sonos 500 has amazing base. I was concerned that most of the speakers i was gonna buy had high Treble, but this one has such a rounded sound and strong Bass, that it made everything sound beautiful highly recommend cannot wait to buy another one. Super easy to set up definitely the way to go to surround sound in the house or apartment.

Been blown away by this speaker so far! It’s what I use to listen to vinyl and for its size, its sound really fills out the room!!
As a budding audiophile who can’t yet afford an entire audiophile’s setup, this has been a great option for me.

Sonos is the perfect addition to any home from a single bedroom apartment to a 3 story town house. The seamless sound integration and auto tuning makes it effortless to have an immersive yet not overwhelming high fidelity sound system that is wireless, easily moved and offers audiophiles a way to get the best quality sound with a system you can continue to build upon as your needs or desires change.

This is actually my first sonos i have ever purchased and at first i was leary about the price but not anymore! I bought this model for the spatial audio / dolby atmos features. And let me just say, If you want to feel like every artist is sitting in your room playing a private concert for you then BUY THIS SPEAKER. I can’t even get the thing to max volume and it fills the room so well! I am hearing instruments and vocals I have never heard before. There is a huge selection of spatial audio music on apple music too. I have had a of wide variety of speakers and this thing blows everything out of the water. I cant wait to expand my Sonos collection! So well made with a great app user interface that makes everything super simple. This is a speaker for the audio enthusiast!!

Have a pair of these in dolby atmos configuration with arc, subs wall mount. They give so much sound stage its unbelievable. I used to own the 100s and these are a massive upgrade. I was alitte worried with the new sonos app and reports of issues but havent had any problems. I will say im just waiting for the inverted software trueplay release but thats on the software side of things and supposed to be released soon.

I’m blown away by how my Sonos 300 speaker and Arc soundbar work together—movies, music, and everyday TV feel immersive and cinematic. The 300’s deep bass and crisp highs blend seamlessly with the Arc’s expansive soundstage, creating a surround-like experience without extra speakers. I briefly considered adding Sonos 100s for rear effects, but after tweaking the EQ in the Sonos app (so intuitive!), the setup already felt complete. Plus, snagging both as open-box deals saved me money without compromising quality—they arrived flawless and perform like new. If you crave premium audio without the premium price, this combo is a no-brainer. Total game-changer!

The Sonos Era 300 is a game-changer in home audio! I was blown away by the rich, immersive soundstage that truly fills the room. The Dolby Atmos support makes a huge difference, delivering spatial audio that feels three-dimensional—perfect for music lovers and home theater enthusiasts alike.
The build quality is top-notch, with a sleek, modern design that fits seamlessly into any space. Setup was incredibly easy with the Sonos app, and the ability to connect via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and even a line-in option makes it super versatile. Voice assistants like Alexa and Sonos Voice Control add extra convenience.
Whether you’re listening to music, watching movies, or just enjoying a podcast, the clarity and depth of sound are unmatched. If you’re looking for a premium wireless speaker with next-level audio quality, the Sonos Era 300 is absolutely worth it!

Used two and paired for stereo. Sound great. Easy to set up and tune to the room. Looking forward to buying another two for the same set up in the Den with the Arc and Sub to replace the Ones that I use as surround.

I replaced a pair of play 3's serving as rear surrounds for my home theater setup. The 300's are terrific sounding & sexy looking speakers that provide layers of sounds and depth for your spatial audio music and movies that surround you. I have the Arc, a 2nd gen sub and 2 Era 300's in my surround set up. The 300's have 2 woofers, 4 tweeters and 6 amps and send sounds in every direction. I can't speak to the blue tooth or line out capabilities for my setup but they are nice features that could be useful for different setups.

I have recently got pair of Sonos era 300 to elevate my music setup for my home after a month of use, it lives up on my expectation I'm in love with them. love the very Morden design I'd recommend the white version. I have multiple speaker in my house from Bose, Marshall, beats, but Sonos on the top I would 100% recommend.

The Sonos Era 300 delivers an immersive sound experience with six strategically positioned drivers that create a 360-degree audio effect. It supports Dolby Atmos and offers versatile connectivity with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a USB-C input for additional sources. Built-in Amazon Alexa allows easy voice control. Its modern, sleek design makes it both functional and stylish. While the overall sound quality is excellent, some users mention that vocal clarity could be improved. Still, the Era 300 is a solid choice for those seeking high-quality, immersive sound.

Transforms the entire experience. I have just the sub and sound then added these and this is a great quality product. I highly recommend because of the souns crispness aswell as following the sound from where its located on tv. True surround

I upgraded from the ones to these and they do add a demension to the sound that wasn't there before. I dont have them in ideal positions, but they still sound awesome. I dislike the eye sore that is the footprint of the design, but I love the Sonos sound and don't regret my purchase. I rewarched Dune and Top Gun (the latest one) as soon as I added it to my Arc and Sub, and I have enjoyed my movies a little more ever since.

Love these speakers, they were the ones I needed to complete my surround system. Excellent sound and easy setup. Was able to place them on corner of headboard.
