Sonos Era 100 - White - Wireless, Alexa Enabled Smart Speaker

If you're looking to add wireless speakers, etc. to your TV or other entertainment devices, Sonos is the way to go. Sonos is quite expensive, but you're buying not only high-quality audio devices but also the flexibility of being wireless for sound and the interconnectedness of all the Sonos devices. The Sonos app recognizes all of your various devices and makes it easy for them to work together. You can assign devices to specific rooms or, if you want, set up a home audio network where music is played everywhere. The Sonos app also integrates access to Apple Music, Amazon Music, or just the Sonos music that they offer. For a home theater, starting with a Sonos soundbar opens the door for adding other Sonos speakers and a Sonos subwoofer. The sound bar, while using the Sonos application on your smartphone, will recognize other speakers and a subwoofer in the room. You also can configure the speakers to work separately, or they can be part of a surround sound system tied to the Sonos sound bar. The nice thing about each of the system audio components is that individually, you can touch the component (a speaker or soundbar for example) and control the room sound level, so you don't always have to go to the Sonos app on your smartphone to do so. You can get great sound for your entertainment system without requiring a receiver and complicated wiring. Generally, you just need: • A power cable • An HDMI cable for connecting to a TV • Preferably an Ethernet cable so all the devices can work over your Wi-Fi network • The Sonos subwoofer can work wirelessly, without requiring an Ethernet cable connection which is optional

The Sonos Era 100 delivers phenomenal sound quality—clear, rich, and powerful for its size. Whether you’re listening to music, podcasts, or streaming audio, the sound feels full and immersive. The Sonos app integration is seamless. It’s very easy to set up, pair with other Sonos speakers, and connect multiple streaming services all in one place. The app makes managing audio throughout the home simple and intuitive. The only downside is the size. While it looks sleek, it can be a bit difficult to conceal depending on where you plan to place it. If you’re looking for something more portable that can easily move from room to room, the Sonos Move may be a better option. Overall, if sound quality and a smooth user experience are your top priorities—and you have a good spot for it—the Era 100 is an excellent choice.

Received this speaker one day ago. Setup was easy. Integrated well with Spotify. Bought it to replace a 12 year old Bose portable speaker that finally failed. I opted to not get another portable unit because this speakers stays in the house all the time. I like the old Bose but wanted to try Sonos. Sound is good for a one speaker unit and better then the old Bose but I imagine the Bose have improved over time. Sonos speaker is small but sound is full and rich. Heavy bass users may want a larger speaker or a woofer, but for most using it for music will like it. Will update later if I have any problems.

Great sounding speaker. We upgraded from some original Sonos Play speakers. While they were still doing a great job we wanted the benefit of stereo sound since a number of our speakers are the only speaker in the room. There's a noticeably better sound to these speakers than the original Play speakers. I do wish they had traditional buttons instead of the touch buttons, so you don't accidentally keep changing sound levels, etc. when you're moving the speaker. One additional feature that I didn't realize they had is that you can cast to them from your iPhone which makes watching videos or listening to music from your phone a lot more fun and enjoyable. They are slightly larger than the original Play 1 speakers, but not noticeably so. I do think they look better given they're pure black or white as opposed to the two tone black/gray of the original speakers. The build quality in general is very solid. They're heavy and feel strong. The bass is solid and sound is great. You can read and watch ample reviews on their quality. The Sonos app is still frustratingly slow and confusing, but I'm hoping that will improve over time. They do get pretty loud in my opinion so you could have just one speaker playing the audio for an entire room; however, I think they work better in a dual speaker setup - i.e. both sides or two corners of a room - to get a more full, immersive experience. I have other Sonos speakers and they place nicely with all of them. All said and done, I'm glad made the jump to upgrade the speakers and plan to use my old Play 1 speakers as outdoor patio speakers.

These speakers are garbage unless all you want to do is feed them with music from a phone. They can also be used as surround speakers for their soundbar. A single speaker can be used as mono output from a bluetooth device, but connecting it every time is a nuisance. Sonos (stupidly) explicitly refuses to allow setting these up as a stereo pair and then feed them from a bluetooth source. The technology could do this but they don't permit it. In fact if there's a theme with Sonos, it's that the technology could do so much, but Sonos disallows 90 % of everything one would want to do. I don't play music from my phone, I use a desktop. Or I want output from my TV. After buying these I have learned the hard way that everything I want to do is impossible. The only path would be to go through an analog setup but that introduces a world of problems including low fidelity, hum, etc. etc. and my TV only outputs bluetooth or optical digital. If you want to play music from your phone perhaps you won't mind. In addition to all the other problems, the setup process is way too controlling. Precise location sharing is required both to set up and use these speakers. My attempt to play sound even if I do want to use my phone doesn't work if I am only a short distance away in my house. There isn't space to go into all the mind-numbing unfortunate restrictions here but suffice it to say that Sonos ruined what could be a great product with their over-control and short-sightedness.

The Sonos Era 100 is a solid entry point into the Sonos ecosystem. The sound is clear, balanced, and definitely a step up from your average smart speaker. For a small room, apartment, or desk setup, it does the job really well—easy to set up, easy to use, and it looks clean and modern. That said… once you start listening, you may find yourself thinking, “Hmm, I kind of want more.” More depth, more punch, more wow. If you’re comparing, I’d definitely recommend the Era 300s over these if your space (and budget) allows. The Era 100 is good, but it doesn’t quite deliver that room-filling, immersive sound that makes you stop what you’re doing and just listen. Overall, it’s a great beginner Sonos speaker and a nice option for smaller rooms. Just know this: it might be the gateway speaker that leads you straight to an upgrade later. Not bad at all—just not the final boss.

The Sonos Era 100 puts out solid sound for its size. Clear highs, good bass, and it fills a room without distortion. Setup is quick, Wi-Fi stays stable, and the controls are simple. Alexa works fine for basic commands. No complaints on sound or build quality — it’s a dependable speaker if you want something clean and easy that just works.

I already have 2 Era 100's and a Sub mini in my Family room. They sound fantastic. Some times I like to sit in my Living room and read, or meditate. But I would turn the volume up in the family room so I could hear those speakers. So I decided to get a third Era 100 for my living room. I put it on a small decorative shelf. I must say it is everything I imagined it would be. When setting it up I didn't know I could turn off selected speakers. This was a unexpected plus for me. So if I am in my living room I could just have the one Era 100 speaker play and vice versa. Or I could have all three and the sub mini playing at the same time. After having the 2 Era 100's and Sub mini for a couple of months now, I had forgotten how good just 1 Era 100 speaker sound. I did notice the two Era 100's paired with the sub sound more clear and crisp than the single Era 100's. That's because the Sub mini is using the low that the Era 100's would had normally played. Great concept in sound and speakers. I just turned the treble up a little bit more in the single Era 100 to get more highs. Sounds good. It's too bad Sonos doesn't allow for multiple Sub minis connected in the same group, it would be phenomenal. I had read somewhere that it wasn't cost effective for the consumer to buy 2 Sub minis when 1 Gen 3 Sub woofer has more output than two Sub minis. I say who cares Sonos? If a consumer wants to spend their money on a second Sub mini and put in in another room in the same speaker group it's their prerogative. If that's true then their business model doesn't make since to me. Set up was a breeze too. Because I didn't use a tutorial to set this up, it took me a few minutes to figure out how to select the speaker, because at first the single Era 100 didn't play although it was connected. But the setup was a breeze. Very easy. I may get another Era 100 (this time used) and put it in my kitchen and I'll have sound throughout all of downstairs. I've been fortunate to not have problems with the app, unlike many others. I am very impressed and satisfied.
