Sonos has officially unveiled its new Era 100 and Era 300 wireless smartspeakers, its first home products with Bluetooth.
Sonos has officially unveiled two new wireless smart speakers — the $249 Era 100, and the $449 Era 300. While the Era 100 is effectively a new version of the aging Sonos One, which it replaces, the Era 300 is an entirely new type of speaker for the company, with six drivers and compatibility with spatial audio formats like Dolby Atmos.
Related A number of firsts The Era 100 and 300 mark the first time that Sonos has included Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity in a non-portable speaker, letting you bypass Wi-Fi networks, as well as the Sonos app, for a quick, ad-hoc listening experience. This complements the speakers’ Apple AirPlay compatibility. Thanks to a USB-C port on the back of the devices, customers have the option of adding an auxiliary audio source like a turntable through the use of an adapter.
For the first time on a Sonos smart speaker, you won’t be able to use Google Assistant on the Era 100 or 300. Sonos says that’s because Google has changed the technical requirements for Google Assistant on third-party devices, but I suspect it may have just as much to do with the fact that these are the first voice-enabled products Sonos has launched since it won a patent lawsuit against Google. Sonos also seems to think that the ball is at least partially in Google’s court.
Sonos Era 100 The Era 100 is similar in size to the Sonos One it replaces, but it stands about an inch taller and swaps the One’s rounded-square shape for an oval cylinder look. The key difference between the two products is that the Era 100 can reproduce stereo sound via a pair of angled tweeters. The Sonos One and its predecessor, the Play:1, were both mono speakers.
Sonos will still sell its remaining inventory of the Sonos One and Sonos One SL. But after that, the company will only sell the Era 100. Used alone or as a stereo pair, the Era 300 can decode and play Dolby Atmos Music tracks from streaming music services. When full availability begins on March 28, it will work with Atmos Music content from Amazon Music Unlimited and Apple Music, with other services planned for the near future. Sonos has also said it is adding support for spatial audio tracks from Apple Music on its other Atmos-capable devices beginning March 28.
