I love Sonos products. This is our 9th in the house. We bought this for the bathroom and it really delivered. Surprisingly powerful for a speaker of this size.

We're on our third ERA 100 speaker in the house. It is very easy to sync via the app and provides excellent sound. It is part of our Living Room surround sound with their Beam and subwoofer. Sonos sounds super!

Let's start with the positives. The Sonos Era 100 boasts excellent wireless capabilities, allowing you to stream music effortlessly from various sources. With built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, you can connect your devices seamlessly and enjoy a wide range of music streaming services. The Era 100 also supports voice commands, integrating well with popular voice assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, providing a hands-free and convenient way to control your music playback.
In terms of audio quality, the Era 100 delivers a rich and immersive sound experience. Its powerful speakers and advanced digital processing technologies produce well-balanced sound with crisp highs, detailed mids, and punchy bass. Whether you're listening to your favorite playlists or streaming high-resolution audio (24b/196khz limit without an amp+dac. Basically, the Era 100 delivers an impresssive sound signature, but only if used as a standalone soeaker. Sonos is not a dumb brand, tney get you in and your then stuck same way apple’s ecosystem is a gateway with no exit but Sonos’ case the connectivity is needlessly complicated.
Now, let's address its limitations regarding vinyl records. The Sonos Era 100 is not specifically designed for vinyl playback, and it lacks the necessary inputs, such as a phono preamp or a dedicated analog input, required to connect a turntable directly. The advertised usb c line in port assumes most Vinyl records should be played back whereve in your system at full analog quality, but thats impossible today. You’ll requirements are different based on the type of audio setup, is there a turntable, a phono preamp, and a traditional stereo amplifier or receiver? One with airplau or hdmi audio out? Then just connect straight to your Beam or Sub. Without some soecific sonos components, the Era 100 cannot accommodate vinyl playback without a ton of extra cost.
If you're looking to enjoy your vinyl collection with the Sonos ecosystem, you can still achieve it, but it requires many purchases and complex additional steps. You would need to connect your turntable to an external phono preamp or a receiver that supports Sonos integration. Best cheap option, rca preamped turntable (or any aux in with a preamp) hooked to the sonos aux to usb c adapter (no other ldafs work, even apple’s usb c to 3.5 wont work. Then you can set your line.in but guess what? You cant use an era 100 paired as rears or as a sterio pair and utilize the line in function, destroying any value you may have found or spent time and money testing ways to make this work. If you use vinyl or anaolog sourced simply get the port or sonos amp for 32bit audio or anything high resolution.
Overall, the Sonos Era 100 is an impressive audio system that excels in wireless connectivity, smart compatibility, and immersive sound. However, it's not designed specifically for vinyl playback and lacks the necessary inputs for direct turntable connection. If you're passionate about vinyl records, additional external equipment is required to integrate the Era 100 with your turntable setup.

This is one of the best sounding speakers I’ve ever had. It has a crisp sound and will adjust the acoustics according to the room you have it in. Very happy, will stick with this brand for a long time now.

Long time users of the Sonos system, we love the convenience of the speakers but hate the 'updated' app. I hope they fix that soon... The voice control can sometimes be hit or miss. Sometimes it takes several attempts before it recognizes your request, this happens less than 5% of the time.

We bought the Bose, the Boze upgrades, Bozo replacements and quit. We have been listening to 'TV stereo' for about 10 years I would guess. We decided to tap into our (my wife's) vast music library (again) as the holidays approached. The single Sonos Era 100 works well with our 1600 sf condo's kitchen/dining/living setup.
