Sounds great

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.

A great small speaker to give you high-quality audio in a smaller room

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

“Best Compact Sonos Yet - Big Upgrade in Sound and Seamless Integration

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.

🌟🌟🌟Sonos Sound🌟🌟🌟

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.
