Era 100 - Black - Wireless, Alexa Enabled Smart Speaker

The Era 100 is exactly why I keep coming back to Sonos. At this point I have 20+ Sonos products throughout my home, and every time they release something new, I wonder if it’ll actually move the needle. This one absolutely does. The sound quality is a noticeable step up from previous models in this size. The stereo separation is wider, the bass is fuller without being muddy, and vocals come through incredibly clean. It easily fills a room, and pairing two of them takes things to another level. Setup, as always with Sonos, is seamless. It integrated into my existing system in minutes, and Trueplay tuning helped dial everything in perfectly for the space. I also appreciate the updated controls- more intuitive and responsive than older models. One of the biggest advantages of Sonos is how everything just works together, and the Era 100 fits right into that ecosystem. Whether I’m grouping rooms, streaming music, or switching between TV audio and playlists, it’s effortless. If you’re already in the Sonos ecosystem, this is a no-brainer upgrade. If you’re new to Sonos, this is one of the best entry points you can buy. Clean design, excellent sound, and the reliability Sonos is known for - easy 5 stars.

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

Sonos has been making some very good Bluetooth speakers and the audio quality of their products is excellent for Bluetooth. The Era 100 integrates seamlessly with my Roam speakers to give me a nice full sound in the house, and I have greatly enjoyed it! I have been a Bose snob for decades but except for the Sonos software hiccup a little while back, the Sonos speakers and software have always been great! The fact that their speakers support AirPlay and Bluetooth pretty seamlessly, and are capable of grouping with a couple of clicks is a huge adavatage over the Bose software, especially when connecting Bluetooth speakers. The Era 100 sounds great, is nice to look at and can be semi-portable. Definitely worth the $$ for the sound quality.

Sound is the best very much worth for what you pay excellent fit for small spaces very functional around the house the loudness if epic you can adjust noise by tap or in the app very good value for money

What a shame. When they work the sound is amazing. The problem. They never work for streaming music because of a woeful update to its software. Even the NYT, which once recommended the system as the best has changed its mind. About three months ago Sonos updated its system software that literally rendered my entire Sonos speaker system (This Sonos Era 100 included) useless. To use this system as a music streaming device, you must use the Sonos App. Sonos used to have one of the best apps in the business. Intuitive with amazing functionality. A few months ago they tried to update it, basically trying to make it look more like Amazon music. It was an utter failure. Folks like me are wanting to sell their entire system. I stayed with sonos for three months now since they promised they would make things right. They have not. The speakers stop streaming music after playing just one song. Nearly no commands work correctly. When I tell it to stop playing a song. It does not listen. I manually have to press the button on the speaker. This system was developed so you could talk to it and play all music across an entire CD. That used to be possible. Now it is not. Literally stops playing after one song. Via voice prompt, when you tell it to go to the next song, it cannot. We Sonos music streamers have lost the capability to stream music directly from our device's own music library. Many of us bought Sonos because we wanted to have great speakers that would directly play music from our phones or our shared music library folders on our computers. That functionality has ceased to exist. Run! Don't walk. And return these speakers. Their only use today is as a bluetooth device where you have to physically press each song you want to move onto via whatever controlling system you have for bluetooth. The Sonos incompetence here I cannot overstate. A once great company and music system has fallen. Such a shame. It did not have to be this way. If I could speak to the CEO of Sonos I would tell him this: Your bread and butter was your speaker system, not headphones, not other products. Get back to the basics. Restore the streaming functionality that allowed us to enjoy music via touchless voice commands and software that was once top notch. I have five Sonos speakers for sale. I hate to do it, but I am making all my speakers Amazon speakers. At least Amazon respects it customers by doing research before launching new products that destroy the functionality of what used to be. Goodbye, Sonos. Forever!

Ok, here i am to give my honest review of my Sonos Era 100. I have good and bad points to make with this, but i knew it was not perfect before i purchased it. I bought this anyway for the sound quality and not really the extra voice features since i already have the Alexa i use. Just do not expect this to operate like the Alexa because it does not. At least not for me. And what i do not like about the Sonos is that for the voice you have to say, "HEY SONOS." and you cannot just say Sonos, you have to use both words. Alexa i can use just one wake word to use it and even change it, with the Sonos you cannot. Even though i got the Alexa app to work with the Sonos which i wanted to try anyway, it was a major disappointment, you hear the Alexa voice, but it would not operate any of my lights with Sonos. Not a major issue anyway since i already have it working with 2 Alexa units already. But if you are buying this for the Alexa feature, its a disappointment. Now for the sound. I heard so many good reviews about the audio quality so i had to give this a shot. The speaker was actually smaller than expected, but do not let that fool you. The sound was excellent quality and the music sounds very separated with the vocal and music which sounds great, and much louder too. I am using the Sonos speaker for my computer and basically music. I am now going to give you another honest review when comparing this to the Newer Echo devices. Buy the echo devices if you are wanting it for the home lights and tv use, but do not expect the audio quality like the Sonos has. Both the Echo and Sonos have good points, this is why i have both. Alexa for my lights and news and weather, however, if its audio you are looking for, i would spend the extra money for the Sonos and skip the Echo devices. Plus i do like the small size that does make it easy for Sonos to be placed just about anywhere. The bottom line with my review, if you want audio quality, then Sonos is for you. If you want to voice activate lights then the Echo's are better. But i have no regrets at all about buying this Sonos speaker.

(4.5/5) I was apprehensive about purchasing a pair of these after reading so much online about the connectivity issues. We don’t have the strongest or most advanced WiFi network so I anticipated having issues—and I did. I hit my frustration threshold after trying for a couple hours to connect to my WiFi in the initial system setup. The simplest of things were just not working and troubleshooting tips online weren’t helping. Left them alone to tackle it again the next day. I had the same issues on the next attempt. So I gave in and called Sonos Support—they were wonderful. I had to download an app on my laptop and download a couple updates. The customer service rep guided me through the process and was just as excited as I was when we got everything working properly. I mention all this first because I know concerns about connectivity/issues with the app might stop a lot of people from buying these. While certainly not as easy as it should be, issues were fixed relatively easily through Sonos support. And my God—the sound quality of these speakers are amazing. You forget any troubles you had the moment you turn up the volume on your favorite music. I do consider myself an amateur audiophile and these speakers are worth the money. Hopefully Sonos is making progress with their system so that less people have to call support just for the initial setup. Removed half a star just for this. TLDR: Connectivity issues are real but fixable; sound quality is amazing.

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.

Really great and loud wifi speaker! I think you can also use it via Bluetooth but I have not tried that yet. I would mention the features and such but would ask anyone to click on my profile and check out my review on the Sonos Beam speaker as that should give an idea on what Sonos offers. For those just looking for a speaker to use around the house or plugged in at small house parties or such this small speaker provides quite the sound for its size. If you pair it with a sub or sub mini even more so. Especially on sale, I would say this beats out many other small speakers for its size and audio quality. The size is probably a close to medium sized sugar jar!

Es mi primer producto de Sonos y me dejó encantado. El diseño es hermoso y la calidad se nota desde el unboxing: una experiencia muy al estilo Apple, simple y elegante. Configurarla fue facilísimo. El sonido es excelente, no soy audiófilo, pero se escucha increíble. Me encanta que use AirPlay en lugar de Bluetooth y la integración con Alexa funciona perfecto. Por el tamaño de mi cuarto, me recomendaron tener dos para sonido estéreo, y sin duda lo haré. El único punto negativo fue el envío, ya que la caja llegó algo maltratada, aunque solo fue un detalle estético. Muy contento con la compra.

Sehr schöne Form, Klang und ein leichtes Einbinden in das System.

Excelente par de bases para las bocinas Era 100

Excellent quality
