Q: Do these go well as Surrounds w/ arc??
A: Yes! The reviews have been coming in now and these are an amazing addition to the Sonos Arc for a home theater. FWIW, there is some incorrect info being reported by some tech outlet regarding the Era 300s as rear surrounds and how many channels the system has. According to Sonos directly, the Arc becomes a 7.x.4 setup with the two Era 300s. The side firing drivers of the Arc work with the outward firing drivers of the Era 300s to create the L & R side surrounds and the inward facing driver (and I believe the forward one, too) are the rear surround L & R. All drivers are used, even without Atmos audio and it’s supposed to create a much greater overall immersion bubble. If you have a sub, it’s a 7.1.4 system and two subs make it 7.2.4. One or two reviews said that even with two subs is remains a 7.1.4 system but this is incorrect. When we see system info like that (x.x.x), here is the specific breakdown of what each one describes: 1st digits: ear level speakers (in number channels), 2nd digit: number of subs, 3rd digit: number of height channels. The second number that described subs is unlike the first and third which tell the number of channels. Because bass is omnidirectional, there are no “stereo” bass channels at this point (where they have two different tracks for bass). It just wouldn’t work well give the way that bass audio moves through space. So, that number describes the number of subs in the system. FWIW, the Beam G2 is also compatible with the Era 300s. According to Sonos, it too becomes a 7.x.4 channel system. The Era 300s add two actual height channels to the virtual Atmos height channels in the Beam itself.
A: Sadly not at this moment, but since ordering the Era 300 and setting up as surrounds compared to the one sl it is night and day! I was blown away how much crisp the sound is compared to the Sonos one sl. Do keep in mind that when sounds plays, the center channel of the era 300 will be disable by default due to how the arc is treated as ur center channels. I have yet to try music from Spotify or Sonos radio but will try this weekend! Hope this helps!
Q: are these rechargeable like the sonos move?
A: No. These are not rechargeable and will need to be plugged into power at all times. The Era 300 does support Bluetooth now, so you can stream music wirelessly or using the Sonos app with Wi-Fi to stream with a compatible music service.
Q: Can it handle rain and sunny weather
A: These are not outdoor speakers, so that would not be smart
A: You can only run 1 set of Sonos speakers . Remove the One SL’s , install the Era 300’s as your new surrounds and put your One SL’s in another room for playing music . The cords on the Era 300 speakers are permanently attached and are for a standard 120V outlet .
A: Yes, there are built in mics for voice assistant.
A: They will be available to preorder Tuesday the 14th!

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.

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.
