Era 300 | Spatial Audio Smart Speaker with WiFi, Bluetooth, compatible with Amazon Alexa, Dolby Atmos - Black

The Sonos Era 300 has emerged as a top contender in the wireless speaker space, particularly for users who prioritize a well-rounded, high-fidelity audio experience with immersive spatial sound capabilities. Key Features and Design Spatial Audio Support: The Era 300 is optimized for spatial audio, supporting Dolby Atmos, which creates a 3D sound experience. It has a unique hourglass shape that’s not just aesthetic but also functional, helping disperse sound in multiple directions for an immersive effect. Speaker Configuration: Inside, it packs a six-driver array, including four tweeters and two woofers, allowing it to project sound not just horizontally but also upward, enhancing the depth and fullness of the listening experience. The sound quality is especially good with music produced in Dolby Atmos, which maximizes its spatial capabilities. Connectivity Options: Sonos has added versatility to the Era 300 with Bluetooth 5.0 and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, a welcome improvement over previous Sonos speakers that were limited to Wi-Fi. This makes it easier to connect various devices and use the speaker in different scenarios. Voice Assistant Compatibility: The Era 300 supports Alexa and Sonos Voice Control (but not Google Assistant), which makes it convenient for hands-free operation. The voice pickup works well, even in louder environments, due to its built-in far-field microphones. Sustainability and Design Updates: The Era 300’s design is more eco-friendly, using recycled materials and being partially disassemblable, which supports easier repairability. The physical buttons on top, including a handy volume slider, make it user-friendly and a bit more tactile compared to the fully touch-controlled previous models. Sound Performance The Era 300 shines in terms of audio fidelity, especially for its size. Its soundstage is wide and detailed, with impressive clarity in highs, balanced mids, and deep bass that doesn’t overwhelm. The spatial audio support takes tracks that are mixed in Dolby Atmos to a new level, giving a “live performance” feel with a strong sense of directionality and space. Music Playback: The Era 300 performs well across genres, but it’s especially suited to high-quality recordings that benefit from its spatial audio capabilities. Home Theater: Paired with a Sonos Arc or Beam Gen 2 soundbar, it enhances surround sound setups, creating an immersive, cinema-like experience at home. Vocals and Instruments: Vocals come through with strong presence, while instruments maintain separation and clarity, preventing any one part of the mix from sounding muddy or overpowered. Pros: Exceptional spatial audio for immersive, room-filling sound. Versatile connectivity with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and optional line-in via USB-C. Sleek, modern design that fits well in various interiors. Enhanced Sonos ecosystem compatibility, making it ideal for multi-room audio setups. Improved sustainability with recycled materials and repair-friendly design. Cons: High price point may make it a less accessible option for casual listeners. Lacks Google Assistant support, which limits voice assistant options. Dolby Atmos audio quality is heavily dependent on compatible sources, so standard stereo tracks may not make full use of its spatial features.

Having used Sonos for a fair few years now with the first generation speakers including the 5s, 1s, soundbar, and subs I can safely say that these era 300s are the worthiest upgrade from these. Firstly these speakers are expensive. At over £400 a pop they’re not exactly cheap, especially when you’re looking to pair two together/ have them as surround sound speakers. The value is in the quality of the image quality. Having said earlier about the previous generation, these new era 300s are worth the hype. They produce huge levels, with amazing clarity at whatever level of sound. The bass is also hugely impressive. For a speaker of its size I am amazed about the bass they produce. It’s something that you expect on a £400 speaker but the size amazes me how it works to produce such impeccable bass. I love the design of the speaker. I know from reviews that some people are not big fans. I think it’s different from the norm. A true Scandinavian design influence. This design is obviously to create the Spatial Audio. This feature is fantastic once you find some songs to use it with and get fully immersed. I’m in the privileged position of having two, which I feel is needed to get the most of this feature. One pain is that it WONT fully connect to the SONOS Ray soundbar. This is frustrating it still works with them however not as a full cinema system. To get the full cinema system with the Ray you need to get the Era 100s which I didn’t know when purchasing the Era300… Another bug bare is that of the unavailability to use the new Sonos SW with the old, I feel this is a slight oversight from Sonos, where they could have all integrated well into the new app. Overall I think I can say hand on heart this is one of the best home speakers you can buy. It’s an experience but worthy option, I would honestly say having one of these beauties is better than the 3 ikea Sonos speakers you can get for the same money. A genuinely award winning product.

I have been a loyal Bose user for years, sticking with their ecosystem because I loved the warm sound profile and reliability. However, six months ago, I decided to finally take the plunge into Sonos with the Era 300, and it has been an eye-opening experience. As my first Sonos device, the difference in audio performance was immediately noticeable. While my old Bose speakers were great, the Era 300 is in a completely different league regarding soundstage and immersion. The way this speaker projects audio is phenomenal; it doesn't just push sound at you, it fills the entire room in a way I hadn't experienced before. The clarity in the vocals and the separation of instruments—especially with spatial audio tracks—is stunning. I am already so sold on the audio quality that I am planning to buy another one to create a stereo pair, and eventually a Sub to build a full home cinema setup. However, the reviews were right about the software. Coming from Bose, I found the Sonos app to be a significant step down in usability. It feels clunky, sometimes lags when grouping or changing volume, and just isn't as intuitive as it should be for a premium product. It definitely "could be doing with improving," as it currently feels like the weak link in an otherwise perfect chain. Despite the app frustrations, the hardware wins. The sonic upgrade from my previous setup is so drastic that I’m willing to put up with the software quirks. If you care about sound quality above all else, this is the best move you can make.

Tolle Lautsprecher, super Sound !

Connexion Bluetooth instable, doit être réapéré à chaque reconnexion. Qualité du son très bonne.

Much better quality than my previous other brand speaker and very easy to connect the tv sound to it whenever I need. The one speaker is enough for a 1 bedroom flat living room of about 30m2. I think its definitely worth the purchase price. I also bought a Sonos 100 recently.

السماعه انا استعملتها مع الساوند بار ال ultra arc شي من الاخر صراحة جودة الصوت ولا غلطة ، المشكله انه سعره صراحة غالي خاصه اذا تبي تاخذ ٢ نفسي بتكون غاليه بس صوتها جداً جميل

It is inexpensive kit but the Spatial Audio is Outstanding. I use it a a single room filling music for when I have guest and personally at home. Works brilliantly - without the sub. My room is about 1000 sqf
