Sonos Era 100

The Sonos Era 100 is satisfactory for music. The speaker has some features to adjust its output based on your room's acoustics, as with most premium speakers on the market. Its clean and balanced sound makes it suitable for listening to many different music genres. Since it's a stereo speaker, it has a wider sound than mono-only models like the Sonos One SL, with better instrument separation in the soundstage. Given its bass and treble adjustments, you have some ability to customize its performance, too.

The Era 100 is a worthy starting point in the company's lineup thanks to powerful stereo audio, easy integration with other Sonos speakers, and an excellent app experience.

The new Era 100 replaces the popular Sonos One smart speaker and includes improvements like stereo playback, Bluetooth, and USB-C line-in. It loses Google Assistant, but the Era is still a great upgrade from its predecessor.

The Sonos Era 100 is nearly the ideal small and flexible speaker. It offers wide dispersion of sound, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, a line-in option, support for tons of streaming services, voice control, and it goes as loud as you could need it to. But it's less refined in the bass than is normal for Sonos, and with a higher price than its predecessor, it's less of a slam-dunk than the Sonos One was.

As the replacement for the Sonos One, the Era 100 smart speaker ups the performance with bigger sound and improved Bluetooth connectivity, and it lets you play from all the top streaming services as well as a turntable.

The Era 100 is a tentative step forward for Sonos. Excellent sound quality and the addition of Bluetooth are marred by the decision to drop Ethernet in favour of an expensive dongle, and losing Google Assistant makes this speaker a little less smart than many rivals.

La Era 100 est une amélioration timide pour Sonos. L’excellente qualité sonore et l’ajout du Bluetooth sont gâchés par la décision d’abandonner l’Ethernet au profit d’un dongle coûteux, et l’absence de Google Assistant rend cette enceinte un peu moins connectée que beaucoup de ses rivales.

The Era 100 is Sonos’s best-sounding small speaker, and takes the crown as the new top smart speaker for music.

A fine upgrade in several ways over the One, the Sonos Era 100 benefits from a sleeker design, reconfigured driver setup and spate of features that make it a more accessible option for more users. But in terms of whether it sounds better than its predecessor, the One still has the edge with clarity and detail.
