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

No question this is an expensive product. BUT it is worth it. The sound is incredible and you can adjust the EQ settings. Super easy to set up and the app is so intuitive everything is a breeze to operate. This is my second one. Wanted to use it for a while before giving a review. Sonos has it dialed in. Highly recommend but you gotta save up as they aren’t cheap.

The Sonos Era 100 is one of those rare compact speakers that immediately impresses—both in sound and usability. After spending time with it, I can confidently say it delivers far more than its size suggests, and it fits beautifully into both new and established Sonos setups. Overall Impression The Era 100 produces amazing, full, vibrant sound with a depth that genuinely surprises you the moment you press play. For its compact footprint, the bass response is shockingly immersive, and the stereo separation feels wider than expected thanks to its redesigned acoustic architecture. Sound Quality Immersive, deep low‑end that fills a room without distortion Rich, vibrant mids and highs that make vocals and instruments pop. Performs exceptionally well as a stand‑alone speaker, but shines even more when paired in stereo or added to a larger Sonos system. Ideal for anyone starting from scratch and wanting theater‑quality sound without bulky hardware Setup & Operation. Seamless setup through the Sonos app—fast, intuitive, and frustration‑free. Smooth, responsive touch controls on the top panel. Extremely easy to operate, even for first‑time Sonos users. Works flawlessly with existing Sonos systems and can expand room‑by‑room. For best performance, I recommend using Wi‑Fi on the 2.4 GHz band for stable connectivity Microphone & Smart Features. The microphone-equipped model integrates well with voice assistants and offers convenient hands‑free control. Voice pickup is clean, and the speaker responds quickly without lag. Multi‑Room Potential. After experiencing the Era 100 in one room, it’s hard not to want more. I’ll personally be purchasing additional units for every room in my house—the multi‑room synchronization is smooth, and the sound consistency across spaces is impressive. Final Recommendation I would definitely recommend the Sonos Era 100 to anyone—whether you’re building your first home audio setup or expanding an existing Sonos ecosystem. It’s compact, powerful, beautifully designed, and delivers a listening experience far beyond what its size suggests.

Love this thing. It's always ready to connect, never have had any problems with it over the past year. It sounds great, has an impressive amount of bass for its size. It's heavy, which is a good indicator of quality. I love using it at night with youtube hours long rain storms and rolling thunder. Put it by your window and forget about it and you won't know it isn't really storming outside.

Great value for money, pairs super well with the Sonos ecosystem, good sound quality. Much better than the Sonos One's this is replacing from 5 years ago. Looks very sleek too.

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.

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!

Very nice quality. Easy setup of a pair of Era 100 speakers. Perfect and expected performance.

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.

Excellent quality

Sistema de so genial, en tinc 2 i sonen molt bé, sense cablejar i molt intuïtius, i en la possibilitat d’ampliar lo sistema de sò en més productes SONOS, de manera senzilla.

Top Sound für die Geschäftsräumlichkeiten. Lieferung war reibungslos und rasch!
