Game changing sound from Sonos. The immersive sound is noticeable immediately - must have if you’re a Sonos owner.

The sound of this speaker is exceptional, it is a must have if you like to host and entertain as much as i do. It is on the high end on price but definitely worth it.

And with this speaker, Sonos has created a device that elevates the immersive listening experience, catering to a growing demand for wider audio format support.

Setup is so easy and the sound is excellent. Adding it to my sonos arc sound bar and subwoofer took 5min

Great sounding speaker. Good for surrounds when combined with Arch and sub

Amazing quality and Atmos sounds amazing, would highly recommend to upgrade anyone's current or future Sonos surround sound system setup.

This is one of the better speakers in my collection. Does a great job staying on par, if not a great improvement to the Sonos 3. Highly recommend.

The sound is totally outstanding! Far better than any other speaker I own, including Bose. You can't go wrong with this speaker. I highly recommend this speaker.

Great Sound amazing room filling realistic magic with atmos to boot

Sonos, long a pioneer in wireless audio, has entered a new phase with the introduction of the Era 100 and 300 speakers. The Era 300 advertises Dolby Atmos spatial audio out of a single speaker enclosure. Can it deliver on this lofty promise? Let’s open the box and find out. The packaging on this speaker is well thought out and understated. Sonos advertises a high degree of recyclability, and it shows. No glossy cardboard here, just a simple box with a set of clever slides to release the top part. No tape, no fuss, it just opens simply. In the box is the generously long power cord (yay), the speaker, and some paperwork. The speaker is in a nice fabric bag to keep it from being scuffed during transport, not a plastic bag and ton of Styrofoam. I’m a fan of the entire setup. It presents and protects the product without being overly wasteful and filling your garbage with…garbage. Calling this speaker a “speaker” though is a bit of a simplification, inside the single housing is actually 6 drivers, and they explain the somewhat unique shape of the enclosure. Unlike many of the cylinders that seem to dominate the standalone speaker market at the moment, this one is designed to be placed on the side or a corner of a room and has angles to optimize the projection of sound out of the enclosure to maximize the spatial audio effect. Two tweeters fire slightly forward and up from the sides, one from the top for height channel, and one firing forward to reenforce the vocal track. The other two speakers are woofers that are angled in opposite directions, allowing them to compress into each other and enhance bass. All in all, while it is something of a unique shape and pretty large enclosure, it offers a driver arrangement that is truly unique. Setting up the speaker is a cinch. Using the Sonos app, it took at most 10 minutes to detect and update the speaker with the latest firmware. As this is my first Sonos speaker, I had to also sign in to my music services, in this case, Amazon Music Unlimited, Apple Music, and SiriusXM. All of them were simple to set up. If you want to do a more advanced tuning, you can perform the Sonos “Trueplay” setup, where the speaker will send out tones while you walk around the room with an iPhone and, using the mic on your phone, will tune the speaker for your space and placement. There is also a simple mode for Trueplay where it uses the mics on the speaker to do the sound tuning – this is the only option for Android users or for users who don’t feel like walking around a room waving an iPhone up and down. I did the more extensive tune, and it does make a difference in how the speaker sounds in the space. Music, especially Atmos audio, sounds more expansive and balanced once the tuning was done. It did take a couple of tries to get it right, when they say to wave the phone up and down while tuning, they mean it, and will restart it if you don’t move enough. The speaker also supports two voice assistants, Sonos and Amazon’s Alexa. The Sonos assistant is a great one for basic commands centered around operating the speaker. It processes everything on the speaker itself, so it has more privacy than Alexa. Privacy is actually a central feature of this speaker, with both a button on the top to shut down the mics in software, or an actual physical switch on the back that cuts power to the mics completely. The rest of the controls are also easy to use, the touch bar for volume control is a highlight. Natural and easy to just swipe and adjust. There is also a small button to put the speaker into Bluetooth paring mode – this is one of the first Sonos standalone speakers to support Bluetooth. While it has the most compromises in terms of audio quality, when guests are around it is the easiest way for someone to play impromptu DJ. It also supports AirPlay for streaming from Apple devices. The final connection option, other than wireless, is a line-in via a USB-C port. This requires a special connector from Sonos. The real “native” way to listen to music on this speaker is through streaming directly from a music service using the Sonos app. This is the only way to get spatial audio, the main selling feature of this speaker, to work. Using a compatible music service, such as Apple Music or Amazon Music Unlimited, you can use spatial audio via Dolby Atmos encoded music. And it sounds really great for a single speaker. While this unit has limits and will never be able to replicate a full surround setup, for an enclosure of this size I am impressed. Music and vocals are incredibly clear, with distinct texture. The sound fills the room and sounds like it is coming from a much wider sound field than the 10” width of this thing should create. For a system without a dedicated sub, it creates a good amount of bass. You won’t feel it in your bones, but it is balanced and full, with the dual woofers filling the room with warm tones. Overall, I am really impressed with this speaker. It is a great way to listen to Atmos music with an easy to use and accessible setup, and offers great sound quality in a single unit. Sonos spent a lot of time on the design, and it shows. Unlike most streaming speakers, there is a local voice assistant and the mics can be completely powered off with a physical switch if privacy is your thing. Its sound quality and features do come with a price, but if you want to equip a room with immersive sound that supports multiple music streaming services, this is one that should be on your short list.

Got these to complete my Sonos home theater. They’re outstanding. If you’re on the fence, they are worth the money.
