Oh, right. You’d need to reconfigure the Sub each time, too.

There is no easy way to toggle between the two.  The adding/removing process takes a little time to configure the radios and establish the handshake between the units.

    Bummer. I had never tried with my current One surrounds. 

    On the plus side, you all just saved me $1,200! For now.

      The end of Sonosnet?

      This one surprises me a bit. I like that Sonos builds its own mesh and had just kind of assumed Era would continue that tradition.

        If a line in source needs the Sonos adapter, what does the on body USB socket do on its own with no adapter?

        No more the ‘end of SonosNet’ than the fact that the Sonos Roam or the Sonos Move don’t connect to SonosNet, either.

        I agree that our older SonosNet speakers will be fine working this way still but I’d put money on the fact that Sonos probably won’t make anymore now that support it. Otherwise why won’t these 2 new ones support it? They always stated the portables did not support it given their portable nature.

        It’s a shame I think as I think SonosNet is a great feature but I also understand it is there due to how the original speakers used to work, back in the old days 😀 

        Can you have too many Sonos speakers? 🤔 😆

        It surprised me too. It’s a shame I think as I love the SonosNet feature with Sonos although I know my existing system will still be fine working on it.

        These products are a missed opportunity for SONOS by not including either a HDMI connection or enabling the USB-C port to work with a USB-C to HDMI connector.

        Very disappointed that the Era 100 does not support using them as a default audio output with Apple TV. SONOS only supports this through their soundbar’s HDMI TV connection …

        I was hoping to replace my current Bose audio system with a pair of Era 100s and (maybe) the Sub Mini since I like 2.1 sound for music and don’t really care about movie surround sound or super booming base. I am not a sounder fan.

        A pair of the new Apple HomePods with spatial audio and Apple TV integration are likely the way I will go in our Great Room and relegate my 4 SONOS Ones and SONOS Port to other rooms for ambient listening. Done adding any more SONOS products to my “kit” ...

        Very disappointed in SONOS.

          Optimo is a better name.  Era just doesn’t roll of the tongue.  Is it “Air-Ah” or “Ear-Ah”?  I get that this is supposed to be start of a new era of Sonos speakers, but that doesn’t mean you have to name the product such.  I guess Optimo was just one too many syllables.

          Didn’t see any other new info about the speakers themselves.

           

          Also, a Move Gen 2 is not terribly surprising.  Besides 4 years since Gen 1 release, there are clearly some easy features to adopt that Roam already has.  I suspect their won’t be a new form factor or significant change in battery.  But it would be rather impressive if the Move uses some of the new woofer tech they bought to improve audio in a smaller (or same) size, which should also improve battery life?

          Or maybe Error 330/100.
