I love the way they are called "Somewhat premium" now by this boy!
Thanks for the updated review. Wanted to get a pair to add to the beam but we were able to get our hands on some used One Gen2s for a really great price so I’m glad to hear the sound quality isn’t that much different between the two models so I don’t feel like I’m missing out! They are used as surround speakers anyways.
I use 2 it was 100 and if they sound better and louder 😊
It was enough of an upgrade from one to 100 I ordered the other set within 24 hours, to replace the other ones.
Great video! I was wondering if you could modify the stands to fit the Era's. Specifically, I'm curious if the power cord is the same for both Sonos Ones/Plays and the Era's. Could you let me know?
I have them paired with my arc, sub gen 3 . Love them for surrounds . Even for music , there loud and clear. Had the one’s but I upgraded the living room with these. No regrets..
dont think theres much of a diff if you just use them purely as surrounds / rear speaker so the purchase is overpriced
@@mr.richard3715 You won't just use them as surrounds because when you fire up your music they are the main speakers
Cool and nice review! Some of those transitions were off by my liking, but otherwise really informative and professional vibey video.
Great video, what’s your intro song please? sounds sick!!
I have the arc 2 subs 2 era 100s an amplifier and 2 ceiling speakers. It is definitely over the top. The amplifier and the ceiling speakers over powers everything. 👍🏾
Does the ceiling speakers all communicate with your set up as well? Does the amplifier only work with the speakers in the ceiling?
I have two Play 1's I use as stereo surround sound to my beam (gen 2), sub (gen3) setup. I've been thinking of upgrading them to era 100s but from the reviews I've seen (and your video), it looks like it's not worth it unless you are predominantly using them for music and not TV/Movies etc. Think I'll either wait for the Arc (Gen 2) or see what the next gen for single speakers are like.
I have a Beam with a Gen 3 Sub with Symfonisk rears for my LG OLED 55C1. I upgraded after X-mas to Sonos One SLs and really didn't hear a difference. Don't want to purchase the Era 100 for $500 just to end up with similar sound quality as my previous Symfonisk or One SLs. Mostly have the system in home theater mode with Atmos and Dolby 5.1 content.
After hearing the set with arc, two ERA 300 and two subs.. I can’t like anything else for Atmos .. now I’m just missing the second sub. Lol
Personally I like Sonos a lot. I started with a Roam, and then I bought a Beam Gen 2 as PC speaker. No complains about it. It just works for me, and I'd like to add a pair of Era 100 and a Sub Mini to have a better inmersive experience. Do you think that a stereo pair of Era 100 using the line-in cable connected to a PC will have a significant delay?
So you can only use the line in adapter? I just bought one from another store (other brand) wich isnt Sonos, and its not working..
So if i want pair on my coffee table are they both wireless speakers? Im new to this. I have standard mono Bluetooth speakers previously. Are they chargeable and if yes how many hours play between charges. Cheers 😊
You can get a pair for 379.99 right now. I started using Sonos products about 9 years ago.
Man, I don’t know how your channel doesn’t have more subscribers. I love your channel! All your videos are so professional, detailed and I like how all your opinions seem very genuine. Keep it up🫵🏻
WIll the Era 100 speakers connect to Googles Nest Pro MESH system? Im hearing yes and no. Some say it only connects to onoe device i.e. (soundbar) some say they arent compatiable with Sonos system. Im just trying to get a straigh answer before I purchase. Your response is appreciated.
If you have a problem with reach on your wifi, you can use the sonos boost, it creates a mesh using your sonos speakers to bounce the wifi from speaker to speaker and as far as i know it creates its own network so it wont interfere with your existing wifi mesh system.
Great review! Can I get your thoughts on whether I should go with a pair of Sonos Era 100s or HomePod minis for my desk setup? I use a KVM switch to switch between my work and personal Macs. But ideally I’d use Bluetooth or WiFi to switch back and forth or even keep both connected.
i got a pair of homepod minis this week to put into my apple ecosystem (apple tv, macbook, iphones, ipads) and they’re awful. spotify support is non existent, and i’ve had to get one swapped out for a new one at the apple store. i’ll be buying these this week
@@RandysDirtyBurger that’s for the heads up - also, I bought the era 100 and I am returning them. They sound amazing. But for my computer setup, the connection is just not fast enough and the connection keeps turning off (maybe once per hour). They also don’t work for zoom. Only music and video. I need fast response to volume adjustment, which these don’t have. They’re really just for listening to music and I would rather have slightly lower quality, but more flexible speakers. I’m going back to regular computer speakers. Probably the Logitech Z407. If you just want the era for music, they’re a great buy!
@@ajitdodaniz407 has a good mid frequency range.
I just got these (2 pack) on sale at Costco. Added to my Sonos set up around my house. The setup includes: 2 Era 100s, 3 Play:1's, 1 Symphonisk bookshelf and 1 Roam. The Era 100s sound good. I do notice that my play:1 speakers do drop out often. I connect via Apple Airplay. My Sonos app (via my iPad) is up to date. Anyone having this issue?
Tech Spec, can I connect it with Android phone and playing you tube video? please
Era 100s can sound far superior to Sonos Ones IF you know how to use their potential. Era 100s when used as surrounds provide you a 7.1.2 system, unlike with ones that maxes out at 5 channels. So if you use Era100s and watch physical medias with Dolby true HD 7.1 or DTS-HD 7.1 audio tracks, you’ll get a much better surround experience.
What are the alternatives to it?
A quick audition on the Sonos display available in Best Buy…
The Era 100 obliterates the one gen 2. Most reviews substantiate the era 100 improvement over the one.
The era 100 complements the beam and arc much better IMO.
With sub? I can imagine there bing much of a difference in this case. I could see if there’s no sub involved.
I absolutely agree I think the beam sub pair era 100 is awesome.
Update: Sonos and retailers have reduced pricing on some Sonos products today 6/2/2023 Best Buy- Sub Gen 3 $687 New My setup as of today TV Sony 85” 950 ARC / Two ERA’s 100 / Two Sub Gen 2 & Just bought Gen 3 What you think
That's a good setup. Way better than mine
Can you play something over Bluetooth or line in and at the same time send the BT audio to other speaker groups via wifi?
Yes the sound can still be sent to other grouped speakers when using Bluetooth. It's pretty cool
Hi. Great video!!! Thanks. Where do u buy the line adapater? I cant find it :( Thanks!
But have you used them as a surround sound?
I have and it's amazing
Does the Sonos Era 100 play without the power cable? I’ve just seen you in the video turning it on and press the bluetooth button without wires
No
I have a question for you how much better would the era 100 be compared to one HomePod mini . Thank you
lol
There should be at least a 7 band EQ with all this technology.
They just removed the ability to play directly from your android.
Not happy about it.
I’m a long time Sonos user. Almost everything I h go it is Gen1. In my room Playbase, two Ones (gen 2) and a mini sub. In my living room Beam, two Ones (Gen1) and a Sub. Also I have a Roam. I don’t see a necessity to upgrade my Ones to this.
Is there audio delay when in Bluetooth mode while watching videos?
Love mine. Era 100 it's significantly better than the one. Better clarity and midrange. Music setup beam sub pair of era 100s one set in my living room the other one in my bedroom. Subtract off what you can sell the old ones for.
I want to buy the era 100 but I don’t know how loud it will get. I need at least 80watts.
@@neitel17 if you need super loud play 5 or era 300. Era 300 for spatial sound, play 5 no 3d but louder.
I'm annoyed they don't offer the trade-in program for the Sonos One Gen 2
Seems like a missed opportunity by Sonos. I guess they're not old enough yet
I love it
When connecting this to your Macbook/PC, can you use the inbuilt microphone for things like Microsoft Teams call? Voice Recorder? Zoom?
I didn't try this out but I'm pretty sure the microphones are only for using the voice assistants
@@techspec1 thanks for replying! Any chance you can try?
Good day
Would you use this is a retail store 1000 square feet. Could I hook up 4 at one time?
Kind regards
Absolutely it would work great at a retail store. You can hook up 4 no problem
I’m going to stick with my Beam (Gen 2) + One SL × 2 + Sub (Gen 3) until they break (hopefully never). Unless they start including built-in Google Assistant and Chromecast again.
I have the same set up for my LG OLED 55C1 and it sound fantastic. Don't really feel I'm missing out on anything. Don't want to spend $1000 just to get one or two step closer.
I'm surprised the Sonos Era 100 will not pair with the Playbar, if that's true, then to me, it's a miss by Sonos. Good review.
I might have misspoken but it will pair with the playbar. You can create a group and play music through both at the same time or use two as rears in surround sound. Thanks for watching!
@@techspec1 I didn't follow up on this, so I'm glad you did. Sonos products, while good, have a shelf life of between 5 -7 years.
That makes them a rental for the high ticket item they have become. Are they worth it? More or less, yes. Audio engineering
will keep extending the shelf life, so it only gets better from here. Playbar is at the end of its shelf life and was a good soundbar
that started it all for Sonos. Thanks for your follow-up. Cheers!
Airplay 2 doesn’t work with playbar. Not important if you don’t have apple products. I waited until the beam came out for that reason alone.
No YT Music??
i cannot get my iphone to connect to this via bluetooth which sucks because i want to be able to play music from my youtube browser or soundcloud app (the soundcloud add-in in the sonos app sucks). I hate this speaker, especially the fact I need to get this dongle now.
I'm having a similar problem in that I want to play .mp3 files sent to me over SMS to practice voice lessons. Super frustrating because it seems I need to subscribe to a service (Spotify, AirPlay, whatever) instead of connecting RUclips or native audio files via bluetooth or WiFi. Have you found a solution, or did you just return it? I spent over two hours with tech support and got disconnected before a satisfactory resolution. Super super frustrated.
Hopefully it won't die like my Roam did. I'm assuming a firmware update killed the Roam.
I have two Roams and they can be a PITA sometimes and inconsistent compared to the other Sonos speakers. It sometimes doesn't wake up in sleep mode, unable to connect with Bluetooth, Bluetooth connection drops off after being connected days/weeks later from smartphone, or falling off the Sonos network and having to hard reset to get it back. All my other Sonos speakers and soundbars have been perfect. I would have skipped the Roam if I've known it would be this many issues. Don't know if the larger Move is any better?
5 bricked Roams. Sonos battery warranty only 1 year. Roam is worse than a $50 Xiaomi speaker
I bought 2 of the 100’s. Have yet to set them up.
If you've set them up by now, can you inform of the sound. Do they pair nicely in stereo.
@@MrPhinn1 still haven’t paired them yet but easy setup and they sound pretty good.
@@MrPhinn1 have a pair of mine set up in stereo and they sound great....so much so that I purchased a second set for another room of mine.
So I can use it with bluetooth ONLY through the app?
After you set it up you can use it with Bluetooth without the app but you have to use the app first
Aw ok I see
Thanks 💯💯💯
Nice. A bit too much on the transition effects tbh
👨🏿💻🍿
promo sm
I hate my son os 1 it sucks it's hard to connect it always disconnects they lied when they sold the product I used to be able to play music off of my phone they took that ability away and ever since they updated their app their product sucks I wouldn't recommend Sonos but that's a great video
Tried a demo set of Era 100 at an upscale dept store in SG and the sound is really unimpressive. Bass is almost non-existent like their Play 1s. So its totally not applicable in a TV/movie setup. For music, any genre tats bass dependent like dance, hip hop or electronic, even pop will sound lackluster. Plus at S$429 its way too overpriced to its competitors. I'm going to stick to my HK Omni 10 tat sound way better and looks great too. Additionally, the reviews from other RUclipsrs of the sound latency and inconsistent performance is a big no-no.
Not my experience at all. I tested a stereo pair, and the sound was definitely bassy, almost too much.
They have great sound though.
Sonos is a headache. Every time you want to adjust something you need an app. This usb-c connector is a joke. Why don't they just add 3.5 mm??? And yup, you need a special connector, not just a regular from amazon. If you have a pair of era100, it is extra $50. Scam.
Reminds me of another organisation starting with Aaaaappppp, ending in ppppple???? So annoying because they are both so good.
It's pronounced sow-nows
intermittent sound era 100
Don't buy them
I bought a pair of Sonos Era100. The worst ever experience in setting up and the quality was not so great as they advertise. In less than 8hours I asked a refund for my $550. If you don’t want headaches, dismiss the Sonos wireless systems.
NO GOOGLE ASSISTANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
