Like the last-gen, the Sonos Era 100 comes in black and white; the latter is featured in the photography here. At about 4.5 pounds, it’s light enough to move around but quite dense—it’s not a replacement for a portable stereo like the Sonos Move. The Era 100 is meant to stay in a part of your room and serve as the centralized controller for all things media in your home or office. It also has Sonos Voice Control for hands-free playback and Amazon Alexa for additional smart home capabilities.
You can sync a pair of Era 300 speakers with a Sonos Arc or second-generation Beam for “hyperrealistic” 7.1.4 surround sound. At nearly $2,000 for a right, left, and center setup, it’s something best left for the home entertainment enthusiast.Florence Ion / Gizmodo Regarding sizing, the Era 300 is about as wide as two second-gen HomePods stacked next to one another. It’s nearly 11 inches across and over seven inches deep—you will need to plan furniture and tchotchke placement around this speaker. Like the Era 100, it has capacitive touch controls and a Bluetooth button for easy pairing. There’s a hardware microphone switch available at the back, plus USB-C for use with compatible adapters.
