Sonos ad claims Era 300 has 3.5mm jack

I was listening to a Vergecast podcast recently and there was an Era 300 ad included. It claimed it has a “3.5mm port you can plug anything into”. I don’t own an Era but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t have a 3.5mm jack.

Sonos One SL and One play, but Sonos Move and Move 2 have stopped.

Strange situation (case *******). I have a Sonos One, a One SL, a Move and a Move 2. All worked fine for the past several months. The other day, only the One was playing music. The other speakers are showing up in the system with a strong WIFI signal, and they show that they are playing (on the app the little volume bars bounce with the music), but no sound. I can pause the music from any of the speakers, so I don’t see a connection issue but this just happened out of the blue - no network changes or updates. I went through all the standard reboots (router, etc) and then did a factory reset on each speaker multiple times. At one point the Move 2 miraculously started playing, but once I paused the music there was nothing more from it. I spent hours working on this, and it’s killing me that I have a few thousand dollars of speakers that don’t work. I had over an hour of tech support with Sonos, but no success. I eventually had to drop the call to do actual work. Anyone else had this situ

Sonos Roam Batteries - Not Good

Looks like the previous thread got closed - but the problem is still here I have 3 Roams and 2 of them went bad before 2 years - the 3rd is still ok but not quite a year old yet.Sonos needs to step up on this - all I want is for them to replace the batteries or send me new ones & instructions how to replace. My 1st call to support ended in the tech telling me they would either send new batteries or replace the untis - they did neither. I have been a loyal Bose user for 30 years and made the switch to Sonos slowly 2 years ago & started buying new Sonos speakers - I am wondering if I made the correct choice - clearly Sonos is not supporting the Roam product.

Play 5 gen1 midrange driver problem

Hello, first of all sorry for my bad English. I have the following problem, my play 5 gen1 only outputs sound over sub and high. Midrange is dead. I'm already disassembling the play5. You can't see faults with the eye. Which components are responsible for the center? I would be very grateful for tips.

Connecting a Surround Sound System to auxiliary Sonos Speakers

Hey Community,I currently have a bunch of alexa speakers all over my house, the sound isn’t great but I love that I can connect speakers and play music throughout my entire house. I want to upgrade, looking at sonos. I’m looking at the ultimate immersive set with Arc (includes Arc, sub gen 3, (2) era 300’s). I’d like to be able to connect additional speakers to that for when I play music, thinking 4 additional ERA 300’s and 2 Move 2’s. Anyone know if I can play music simultaneously on all of those devices?

Sonos sub, not impressed

I have a sonos sub paired to two fives, a one and a one sl in my living room. While I like the 5s and ones, im just not impressed with the sub for music. I’ve changed settings in it, turned trueplay off, moved the sub etc, and I just don’t like how it sounds. For $800 it doesn’t seem to produce much bass. I have an Amp connected to two klipsch aw650s that are outside right now (will be coming inside this winter). Can I use the amp with a 3rd party sub bonded to the 5s? I think my wife will lose it if I hang up ANOTHER pair of speakers in our living room. Although I do like the 650 more than the 5s.

Era 100 pair v one sl pair

I currently have a pair of play 1s as a stereo pair and enjoy them. I am going to repurpose them into surrounds and set up a new music pair with either one SLS or era 100s with a sub mini.I don't really need the extra features in the era and with discount they are not that much more expensive than the SLS, however I am a bit concerned about the dual tweeter in the era as it stands to reason that the imaging would be better from a single tweeter than the two in the era 100. I have a single era 100 and think it sounds fine but don't really notice a stereo effect. I realise that a pair of fives would probably be better for music but I'd prefer the flexibility of the 2.1 setup. I thought that I had read that the fives shut off some tweeters in vertical position, so with fives in stereo pair and vertical is there just one tweeter per speaker working?

Sonos Era with NAD DAC

Helloi have a NAD streamer (bluos DAC C658) and am contemplating getting Era speakers for around our house. Can I use this DAC to stream music to different Era 300 and 100 speakers (in different rooms) over my WIFI? Anything I need to keep in mind for the setup or when using this combination? Thanks!

Do you think the new Era 100 is going to fit and look good on the Sanus Outlet Shelf?

Title says it all. Hard to tell from the technical drawings and dimensions of the new Era 100.Kicking off a kitchen remodel and would like a stereo pair of 100’s. Looks like the width of the shelf is good, but I worry about the depth. Want it to look clean and not janky. Because this is going in a kitchen and the outlet shelfs will be mounted against a tile backsplash, I do not want to consider an actual mount that screws through the wall/backsplash. Need ability to remove/upgrade down the road. Era 100 = 7.18in H, 4.72in W, 5.14in DSanus Outlet Shelf = 6.84in H, 4.77in W, 5.32in D

Era 100s as surrounds but also as group members

I have a Beam Gen 2 plus mini sub. I have just bought two Era 100s. I want to use them as surrounds (have done that). During the setup I said yes to stereo pairing, but that’s not in fact what I want. I want the 100s as separate speakers in a group with the Beam, all playing the same full stereo music (for max volume in party situation). Do I need to undo the stereo pairing before grouping the speakers by playing music on the Beam and holding down the play/pause button on each 100? If so how do I do that? Once done how easy will it be to switch between surround mode and grouped?
