    Awesome sound! I have the Arc and Sub Mini and use as rear speakers. I have the Samsung system in my living room and this is much better especially Dolby Atmos music and movies.

    If your looking for the best sounding Dolby Atmos sound-bar setup look no further. Adding these speakers makes it punch like a custom built system. I had the Sony HTA7000 bar with the biggest sub and rears with the height channel but returned it because some vocals sounded tinty at times as well the spatial sound just didn’t seem the best for the price point. Fast forward to the Sonos Arc, 2 subs and the Era 300’s and I’m finally pleased. Hits well about the expensive price tag. Almost feels like your at an IMAX movie. Could probably do with just one sub though.

    Sonos Era 300

    This Sonos Era 300 is an absolute upgrade from my previous Sonos S1. The S1’s were great, but I felt they could have added a bigger, louder punch when listening to movies & music. The Era 300 is definitely bigger and heavier, with a premium look and feel. And with that bigger size, Sonos definitely updated the speaker components, and you can tell by the quality of the sound. I can absolutely hear and feel the sound as it resonates in my media room. It’s extremely easy to setup and calibrate with my other Sonos speakers. I’m so happy with this purchase and upgrade!

    I bought this open box in excellent condition for 20% off making it a better value. The speaker was shipped in the showroom box without a protective outer box and it had evidence of miss handling... so maybe it's better to get open box products directly from the store. Luckily the showroom box protected the speaker from damage. I'm using the speaker together with two Sonos One Gen2 speakers in a 400 sq/ft room to listen to streaming music. In general the set-up does well to create an immersive sound. The side firing drivers are like having two speakers back to back. The forward and upward drivers seem a little weak in comparison giving a less of an omni-directional feel than I had hoped. The base is tight and the sound is bright. It is excellent for being a wifi speaker, the best I've heard, however it lacks rich fullness of a good bookshelf speaker. The app is easy to use and setup is quick, but be ware that it want's access to your location and forces you to create an account (Still better than the HomePod which requires an iPhone to set-up).

    This small form factor packs a punch. I stream audio in the Sonos app from Apple Music and it sounds incredible. Some Atmos mixes give songs a new life. Setup was a breeze. You can choose to auto set up or you can wave your phone around the room for calibration. I reccomend this speaker, especially if you already have Sonos.

    I am using them as rears for an ARC Ultra. No expert here, enjoy what they ad to sound in the smallish rm. They are on Sonos stands, great, at ear level. Added them using Sonos app, not a problem. Don’t regret buying them, money well spent IMO.

    The Sonos Era 300 speakers are phenomenal ! I have had a Sonos ARC for 2 years along with a sub and 2 Sonos One surround speakers and was quite pleased with the sound but have been wanting Dolby Atmos . When I was informed of the new Era 300 Dolby surround speakers by a BestBuy email , it was time to stop in and hear the complete system at my local store . It sounded amazing , even in that huge store . I purchased a pair of the Era 300’s and after setting them up for my theater room I streamed a favorite Dolby Atmos movie and couldn’t believe how incredible the experience was . Sound was coming from all different directions making me feel like I was actually part of the action ! I cannot say enough how phenomenal these speakers sound , except to say that they are the best upgrade that you could ever make to your Sonos system .

    Great Speakers especially paired

    We can’t sing enough praise for these speakers. We bought these Era 300 to replace a pair of Sonos 1’s in our living room. We had the 1’s paired with our Arc to make it a surround sound system. We already have a pair of Sonos 5’s but they are just too big for our living room. I wanted to keep the Fives in the den just for my music. The Era 300’s are the perfect size and match Fives in sound. We noticed the sound difference right away with our TV shows, but blew us away watching John Wick series. We also play video games from our Living Room TV. We were amazed how much background sounds we were missing with our Sonos 1’s. My only complaint about the speakers is the $449 price. Thank goodness Best Buy had open box sale on these speakers. At $399 or less is the perfect price for these speakers. Luckily only the boxes were damaged and the speakers were not damaged. Sonos does a great job of packaging them. I highly recommend these speakers especially when the go on sale for less than $400.

    This speaker is fantastic and easily one of the best-sounding smart speakers I’ve used, with rich, detailed audio that fills the room and feels immersive. The spatial audio adds real depth and makes music sound more dynamic and engaging, especially at higher volumes. It looks great, integrates seamlessly, and overall feels like a premium product that was absolutely worth it.

    Sonos products are the best sounding and easiest set up out there. Pick a location in your house and plug it in. Add it to the app and you are ready to go. it is really that simple to have music in every room of the house. I used this in my office to keep my day bright. I also move it to my patio on the weekends!

    This is my first Era 300 and it has a a great sound. Already have 4 Era 100 and an Arc+Sub and love how essy it is to integrate into the system. After a rough period the app is back to quality. Love how easy ot is to play Apple Music or BBC Sounds around the house. Adding the music to more or less speakers as we move around the house!
