    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.

    Great upgrade to my Sonos system

    Great upgrade to older speakers. I’ve got many Sonos speakers and this is a solid upgrade. The special audio is impressive if your room is the right size and shape. The speaker works best placed away from walls so it can bounce sound around after you use the tuning feature. Setup is easy with the app. The line-in adapter ($19) from Sonos allowed me to hook up my turntable to a single speaker and then send the vinyl sound to all my speakers. A single Era 300 is great for a medium sized room. If you have a more open concept space a pair of Era 100s will give better stereo sound and will fill the room better. Of course a pair of 300s is the best option but more expensive. The speaker is well built and solid. The sound improves after a “break-in” period but this is normal for a lot of speakers. Mine is paired with the sub and the sound is amazing from even a single speaker. If you have the Five and just do music, I don’t know if you should upgrade. The Five is still the best straight stereo speaker but the Era 300 is close. Of course the Era 300 has smart assistant features and a much faster processor as well as Atmos support. As a single speaker the 300 bass response is clean and solid. Adding a sub makes it even better

    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).

    Immersive sound taken to another level

    I added the Sonos Era 300 speakers as surrounds to my existing setup with the Sonos Arc and Sonos Sub (Gen 2), and honestly, this is the best home audio system I’ve ever experienced. The Era 300s completely transform the soundstage. Dolby Atmos content feels truly immersive, with sound coming from all directions, including overhead. Movies, shows, and even regular TV audio now feel cinematic. The separation and clarity are impressive, and effects move seamlessly around the room without overpowering dialogue. Music performance is equally impressive. Spatial audio tracks sound rich, detailed, and wide, and even non-Atmos music benefits from the added depth and presence. The speakers blend perfectly with the Arc and Sub, creating a balanced system with punchy bass, clear mids, and crisp highs. Setup was simple through the Sonos app, and Trueplay tuning helped optimize everything for my room. The build quality is premium, and the design looks modern without being distracting. Overall, pairing the Era 300s with the Arc and Sub takes an already great system and turns it into something exceptional. For anyone serious about home theater or immersive music, this setup is absolutely worth it.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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 .

    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!

    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.

    Coming from a Sonos One SLs for surround this is a MAJOR upgrade. The sound is SO impressive, crisp, clear, and robust. It’s legit theatre feel. I also like the fact that when you’re playing music they convert to normal speakers automatically (via a setting in the app) and then covert to surround while watching normal TV.

    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.

    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.

    I have (2) ERA 300's paired with Sub Mini in my workout room / basement. I was looking at traditional passive speakers with an amp and came across the Sonos ERA 300's. I went to BestBuy to listen to them and was sold. This was not a low cost set-up, but lower cost than going with the passive alternative. The sound quality is very rich and I was surprised to hear sounds and notes that I’ve not heard before when playing the same songs through other speakers, headphones, etc., Very Pleased!! There is plenty of volume available which is great for certain music types. I do like that each speaker within the ERA 300 has a dedicated amplifier. I’ve been streaming Apple Music through the Sonos app flawlessly. I especially like this “Heavy Rotation” option. The music I listen to varies and includes Classic Rock, Progressive, Hip Hop, etc...and the base from the Mini Sub scales in volume nicely between the genres. Songs with Dolby Atmos really fill the space of my basement. I would also include that the set up using the app is very easy.
