This is great! Perfect addition to my moms house. We had an older model and this upgrade was just what she needed! Super easy set up!

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.

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.

These little speakers are perfect to listen to music or tv all around the house. With the Sonos app I can easily connect them together. The sound quality is excellent.

I recently needed to add a speaker to my living room and wanted it to be able to be tucked away in a corner while delivering maximum sound, and this definitely delivered. Now I want to get another one. I love it!

Sonos really has been the top of the line whole home audio solution. Between their hardware, software, and accessibility to Sonos audio everywhere you go - it’s been the clear choice. I have been interested how Sonos would venture into new upgrades as time went on and they started off with the “Sonos Era 100” which is definitely the successor to the Sonos One. So far my time with the Era 100 has been an incredible improvement!
PROS:
- Sonos continues to push for sustainability with their unboxing process. Very simply straight forward packaging and everything can be recycled!
- The Era 100 is a really great looking speaker! More of a curved design compared to the Sonos One and a bit taller as well. But once again, Sonos hit it out of the park providing a product that looks beautiful, modern, and high end which are all something you want on a Speaker that is on display.
- Software is of course a place that Sonos really shines it, and it shows while setting up the Era 100. Just follow the cues in the Sonos App and setup is truly a breeze! On a side note, I recommend setting the EQ on your Era 100 to +6 bass and +4 treble, but to each their own!
- Sonos did a great job listening to users by adding in two new hardware features: a line in option, and a physical microphone mute button. The USB-C line in is a great way to make the Era 100s be flexible while adding them to a wired system (like a record player) and the physical microphone mute button is great for added privacy over the simply touch button on the Sonos One.
- Another great addition is having actual Bluetooth on these! It once again just adds necessary flexibility to the speakers if your WiFi goes down, or you are in a situation where Bluetooth simply works better. Nice to have that increased functionality!
- Now of course, the biggest upgrade is the sound quality! The Era 100 has a stereo setup thanks to two tweeters that point to the right and left, and a larger woofer. All of this provides a much improved sound over the already great Sonos One, and can give bigger bass and overall great sound!
- Of course, the Era 100 can be paired with another Era 100 for grouped music in one room or for being used as surround sound with a Sonos sound bar.
- This is something small but I actually really like it, but the Era 100 has a screw hole at the bottom if you decide to wall mount these. Basically you buy the Sonos branded wall speaker mounts and it will screw into place on the bottom of the speaker. A little upgrade but I like it more than previous speakers that kind of have to rest in place.
- The new touch control setup on the top of the Era 100 is another nice improvement. The slide volume control is really cool and once again you can change the song and pause/play easily as well.
CONS:
- For me, the clear and obvious biggest letdown is Sonos no longer having “Google Assistant” on their new Era 100 model. A huge selling factor for me on Sonos is being able to have high level audio functionality while also using Google to control my smart home devices. Of course there is still a chance that Sonos could bring Google Assistant to the Era 100 via a software update, so I really hope Sonos can see this is a letdown to a lot of users and bring Google back.
- A lot of users would have liked to having an upward firing speaker on the Era 100 for Dolby Atmos playback. I know they gave that functionality in the Era 300 speaker, but I would have preferred the upward firing Atmos speakers in a smaller form factor (like the Era 100) as well.
BOTTOM LINE:
- If you are looking into starting your Sonos speaker collection or expanding, the Era 100 is now the go-to way to start. It offers a ton of increased flexibility and functionality, has much improved speakers by adding in a 2nd tweeter and giving it a bigger sub, and has a lot of smart features that work great. Having the Sonos Era 100 has made listening to music / movies so much fun and I know all users will enjoy these upgrades too!
