Introducing Era 100

Hi all,

Today we introduce Era 100, reinventing a category-leading icon.

Sonos Era 100

Only slightly larger than its predecessor Sonos One, Era 100 features all-new hardware and software, with next-gen acoustics and design that deliver detailed stereo sound and deep bass.

  • Now in stereo: Two angled tweeters send crisp high frequencies left and right for a rich stereo experience, while a larger midwoofer creates stunning bass that’s unexpected from a single compact speaker.

  • Small but mighty: Packed full of audio and tech enhancements, Era 100’s slim, modern design makes it a chic accent piece for any bookshelf, kitchen counter, desk or nightstand.

  • Customize your system: Level-up movie night by adding two Era 100 speakers as rears with your soundbar to create a surround sound system, or simply pair two together for room-filling stereo sound.

Premium, responsible design that keeps everyone in mind

Building on Sonos’s timeless acoustic-driven design aesthetic, Era 100 and Era 300 are responsive to the challenges facing our environment—and better for everyone who interacts with our designs, featuring a bold new UI and innovations that will help them last longer, use less energy and make use of recycled materials in each product. 

  • More sustainable sound: Era 100 and Era 300 are made with post consumer recycled (PCR) plastic and packaged in 100% sustainably sourced paper, while also engineered to reduce power consumption with under two watts idle power consumption and a new advanced sleep function.

  • Built to last: Designed to live in your home for years, both speakers are built for serviceability by reducing the use of adhesives and transitioning to screws for easy disassembly and repair.

  • Bold, new UI: Era 100 and Era 300 feature an intuitive new user interface, including a new capacitive volume slider for simple control that complements quick and private control of your music with Sonos Voice Control, the Sonos app, Apple AirPlay 2 and Bluetooth®.

  • Upgraded connectivity: Stream all the audio you care about using WiFi or Bluetooth, and directly connect other audio devices such as a turntable using an auxiliary cable and the Sonos Line-In Adapter.

  • Expanding Trueplay to more listeners: Using the microphone array in Era 100 and Era 300, Trueplay optimizes the sound for the unique acoustics of your space with just a tap in the Sonos app. Available to both Android and iOS users.

Era 100 will be available for pre-order on sonos.com today, and globally starting March 28 2023 for $249USD, £249, €279, $399AUD. For more information, please visit Sonos.com

    @karldrogo, who are you and your obvious ChatGTP crafted replies actually speaking to?  It’s not a very good mimic of forum postings if your are replying to the ether.  At the very least, quote someone.  Put in some effort, man!

    Another one?

    Thank you Sonos for the ERA-line. I think most of us “Sonos-users” like the products,at least i do😇.

    For me,i started looking into Homesound just a couple of months ago. When i started buy speakers,the Era 100 was my first Sonos. I did purcase other Sonos speakers to my other rooms and in this case i had the opertunety to purcase a couple of Play1’s. 
    For me,i did not feel comfy with the Play1. The “worst” issue i have is connectivity…the lack of Airplay. The sound is ok,but personally i prefere the Ikea Bookshelf’s. Another thing i notice(don’t ask how i discover that) but i do belive the Play1 is more hungery for power(yes,i made it clip). This may have an inpact on your house/room electrical system(do you have enough power/outlet to feed all of your heating,lights,TV&Sonos).

    Is the Era 100 in the range for a good value….Yes,it is. The One/One SL’s i belive will be discontinued soon,but to be a little picky i think a fair price for the One is $186 not $216(Era 100 is $262). 
     

    I do like the sound from the Era 100’s. I got a pair in my home cinema(Beam G2/Gen3) and i have a Era 100 stereopair.
