Sonos’s New Speaker Era 100 SL Hits Its First-Ever Low Price, Bad News for Anyone Who Paid Full PriceThe Sonos Era 100 SL Compact Speaker is the entry point to the Sonos Era family, with rich stereo sound, deep bass, and easy connection to existing Sonos systems or as the start of a new one. Music, podcasts, audiobooks, and other audio stream over Wi-Fi from major services like Apple Music and Spotify, with Bluetooth and AirPlay 2 also available for direct phone connections.
The Sonos app handles setup in just a few minutes from unboxing to first song. The compact size fits on a bookshelf, kitchen counter, or end table without overwhelming the room. Head over to Amazon to get the Sonos Era 100 SL Compact Speaker for just $169, down from its usual price of $189Whether streaming a podcast at low volume or jamming out, the speaker still sounds great with even audio.
It uses Trueplay tuning to measure speaker output from your iPhone or iPad, then adjusts the sound profile to match the room’s acoustics. That means the speaker can adapt to different rooms and change its sound accordingly. You can use just about every streaming service, including Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, and Tidal in the Sonos app, with playback control from any phone on the network.
You can also use AirPlay 2 to push audio straight to the speaker. If you add on additional Sonos speakers, you can chain them together for higher volume as well. Touch controls on top handle volume, play/pause, and track skipping for quick adjustments mid-song without grabbing a phone. The speaker stands about 7 inches tall and tucks into bookshelves, kitchen counters, or end tables in any room of the house.
Humidity resistance means kitchens, bathrooms, or covered patios all work as placement spots without worry about damage from steam or moisture. Matte Black or White finishes match most home decor, and a second unit can pair with the first for true stereo in a larger room. As the entry point into the current Sonos lineup, the Era 100 SL covers a single room with rich audio and ties into a larger multi-room setup when paired with other Sonos speakers.
Stereo pairing two units doubles the sound coverage, and a pair can take on rear-surround duty when added to a Sonos Arc or Beam home theater. If you’re ready to pick up a new portable speaker, you’re going to want to drop some cash on this one. It won’t be on sale for long, so it’s a good idea to go ahead and splurge right now. With summer right around the corner, now’s the perfect time.
