Great sound quality and design. I paired it with my other era 300 to create surround sound and love the home theatre experience now. I have a Sonos beam and mini sub given my space. Overall movie and sports experience has tremendously elevated.

I bought this as a stand alone speaker for playing music in our dining room. From there, we can listen to music in our kitchen and living room as well. The Sonos App allows us to play music from multiple sources allowing us to play a huge variety of music. Installation and setup was a breeze. Playing music is just as simple.
The sound is unbelievable. Bass is solid and strong, sound distribution is terrific and clarity is unreal. You would think we have a full audiophile system. But all of that sound is coming from this one small speaker and the Sonos App.
The speaker looks great, and the form design and modern and pleasing. I can;t say enough about this speaker, other than to say get one. 5 stars from me.

SIMPLY THE BEST FOR DOLBY ATMOS SOUND

I am very much impressed with the ERA 300. I was doubtful in buying it specially hearing the demo setup at bestbuy, it just does not sound right. I decided to give it a try and bought a pair and see how it compares with my Sonos Five gen2 which i also use as surround speakers.
I was blown away with the sound quality, the sound balances the sound coming from the arc and the sound is bouncing on the wall, ceiling, simply amazing.
I tried watching movies like top gun, ready player one on dolby atmos, wow huge diffference it makes from my sonos five gen 2 speakers for surround.
My recommendation to all buyers is if you are wanting HIFI quality stereo sound, go with the SONOS FIVE GEN 2, it is simply the best and the flagship SONOS stereo speakers.
Now if you want the best in ATMOS, SPACIAL AUDIO, ATMOS MUSIC, this era 300 is best for surround system just my opinion.
Overall, i am very happy with my purchase. I own and hooked up with SONOS system, i have Arc, 2 Gen3 Sub, 2 Sonos Five Gen 2, 2 Sonos One SL and now 2 Era 300.

So i give 5 stars when something exeeds my expectations. This does so.
Okay, so I was interested in Sonos for a while now. I like the idea of linking them and using them differently depending on the situation. Prior to this though, i wasnt that impressed with the sound. It was good but not worth the price to me.
I bought this after demoing a few stand-alone bluetooth enabled speakers at Best Buy. It sounded as good or better than most I tried. Of course this was complicated by the fact the demos are not set up to hear the same music from demo speaker to demo speaker.
Still, the demo wasn't that impressive as it is in a big wide open space and cannot use its room "correction" software/magic, more later. First the sound, it is pretty good. There is enough of everything, bass, treble, and mids, that music sounds good. However, it does seem to be a bit softer in the mid range.
This is where the app comes into play. The app is so full function, i dont know the half of it. This is how one can link multiple speakers, set up room correction, adjust an equalizer and the more I haven’t played with yet.
This one little speaker is impressive, especially after set up and going through the room correction. Once the room correction is complete, the speaker becomes magic. It is impressive solo with music with decent bass, not bass-head bass but nice and tight for "regular" music.
After the room correction though, something strange happens. You can walk around the room and the voice sounds like it follows you around the room. It is wierd and wonderful at the same time. This made me want to go get a second one immediately for two reasons; one, I really want to hear what this could do in stereo, and two, I want to play with this as part of a home theater.
Good job Sonos! You converted me to your updated speakers. I suspect my next several speaker purchases will be Sonos so i can connect as a whole house system and play with home theater setups.
This should be fun. Still a bit expensive though.

The Sonos Era 300 is fantastic for surround speakers in a home theater setup. They are also great for high fidelity music listening. I have found myself using my pair of 300s in both settings! These speakers are worth the price tag! The box themselves are greatly designed too which helped me with a recent move. If you already have Sonos products, these will be a great addition to your setup! If you are looking for a top notch speaker with easy compatibly and connections, the Era 300 is the way to go!

Atmos Beast—Perfect Partner for the Arc

The Era 300 makes Dolby Atmos feel downright awesome. Spatial mixes have real height and width—vocals float, instruments breathe, and effects wrap the room. As a standalone it’s impressive, but pairing it with a Sonos Arc (an “Arc ultra” setup) is next level: use a pair as surrounds and the bubble of sound gets huge and cinematic. Music and movies both shine, Trueplay helps dial it in, and the black finish looks sharp. If you want immersive audio without a rack of gear, this is a killer choice.

The Sonos Era 300 speaker in black is a testament to superior sound engineering. Its compact size is deceiving, as it delivers rich, room-filling audio with clarity and depth. The sleek design complements any decor, and the ease of setup and use is impressive. Whether for music, movies, or podcasts, the Era 300 provides an immersive audio experience. A remarkable addition to any home audio system.

I have a full Sonos setup—Arc Ultra, Sub (Gen 4), and a pair of Era 300s. As a lifelong cinema enthusiast who hosts and streams my own content, I can confidently say that Sonos delivers a truly immersive experience. The sound quality is exceptional, from the deep, rumbling bass of the Sub to the detailed spatial audio of the Era 300s and the clarity of the Arc. It's not just sound—it's an experience that brings movies to life in a way few systems can match.
Whether you're a casual listener or a dedicated home theater fan like me, the quality and ease of use of Sonos products make them a standout choice.

I upgraded my Sonos One surround speakers to the Era 300s in order to fully enjoy the Dolby Atmos capabilities with my Arc soundbar and sub woofer. The upgrade was in combination with a new Samsung 85" mini-led TV. Watching streaming content in Dolby Atmos is a wonderful upgrade. You can really notice that the sound is coming from all around you including above you. I'm very happy with this 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 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!

Once again Sonos shows why it is an industry leader for wireless speakers. Setup was easy using the Sonos app. The bass is so good i dont think i will be getting an Arc sub. I do have an Arc soundbar that is paired with the Eras 300 and neither one over powers the other. I highly recommend these speakers whether for listening to music or watching TV.

This is our second Sonos speaker. It was easy to set up and is a great sounding speaker, especially for its size. The only thing we wish is that this speaker was portable (rechargeable batteries instead of plug in).
Thank you.

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!

Simply put these are the best surround speakers I have ever used. I have been deep in the home theatre scene since the beginning of Dolby pro logic! I have had all levels of home theatre set up’s from dedicated speakers, amps, tuners, surround processors and sound bars. I will tell you the Sonos is the best sounding with ease of use system I have ever had. Now it isn’t the best sounding system I have had, but everything considered, it is one of the best systems I have ever owned. Taking into account size, sound, ease of use, ease of set up, a compatibility, and price. Sonos reigns supreme. It does ouch above its weight in the sound department and give amazing atmos effects with the era 300’s. If you are on the fence rest assured these are the wonderful speakers and the serious the best surround speakers I have ever used. These do exactly what bipolar/dipolar speakers were supposed to do many moons ago.lol. The 6 built speakers truly give you movie theatre like immersion. Nothing on the market matches these for atmos except dedicated height channels. These really work.
