8010080100Sonos Era 300 review: A big bet on spatial audio
The Era 300 is one of the most impressive music speakers Sonos has released in years, with loud bass, detailed highs and excellent clarity. It also supports spatial audio, but that experience is hit-or-miss. Not all Dolby Atmos mixes are necessarily better. Even the best spatial audio tracks are subtle improvements over the originals. Still this speaker sounds great regardless of what music format you’re playing – as it should, considering its high price.

8810088100Sonos Era 100 review: Affordable multi-room audio that actually sounds good
Of the two speakers Sonos announced earlier this month, the Era 100 is much easier to sum up: it’s a replacement for the Sonos One, which was first introduced in 2017. Unlike the Era 300, there’s no need to ponder the value of spatial audio; the Era 100 is a relatively straightforward mono speaker, just like the One and the Play:1 before it. Don’t let that simple description deceive you, though – the $250 Era 100 is a complete redesign, inside and out, and the end result is a worthy upgrade and a very versatile speaker.
