I got a restaurant in the gothic district of Barcelona (Spain) since 2010 and I’ve gradually introduced Sonos in the bar and the main restaurant seating area back into 2016, with Sonos 1 speakers and two years later I’ve added the subwoofer. Sound always good until they introduced their disastrous app 2 years ago. Hardware is perfect, it was just a major software F…. Up and the perfect case study for failed corporate PR. I always had to justify to my employees why I was keeping Sonos. Bit by bit they improved the performance but 2 days ago I’ve checked for an update (I do it manually) and updated. The next thing is that I had never experienced such a STELLAR change in sound quality and moreover, the definition, details and 3D sound. All this with (still) 2 Sonos 1, subwoofer paired with them and a third independent Sonos era 100 behind the bar. So those 3 units create an incredibly more immersive sound. Even my waiters confirmed it. The other side of the restaurant is deserved by one Sonos 1 and one era 100. I got another Era 100 and will pair the two ERAS and thinking about upgrading all the Sonos 1 to era 100. But… that’s what I hate about Sonos: my first subwoofer (1) isn’t pairable with the Era series as far as I know. Thus “obliging” me to buy a newer generation. Even though the first subwoofer is indestructible and still doing a wonderful job. Perhaps I should charge royalties to Sonos since I’m promoting their brand in my international restaurant…
newest software update february 2026 is fantastic!
