What to get

Hi , I have just purchased 2 era 300 speakers and I have a play bar what is the best soundbar I should upgrade to get the best sound for mainly listening to music . thank you . 

Hi Sonos Community,I recently adquired the Sonos Arc Ultra, and I’m absolutely loving it. It sounds phenomenal and easily fills my open-concept living area (about 50sqm).I’m now looking to expand my system and I have a specific scenario in mind. I’d like to achieve two things with my next purchase: Improve the surround sound experience by adding two rear speakers. Versatility for outdoor use: My living room opens up to a porch and garden. I’d love for these rear speakers to be portable enough so I can take one (or both) outside to act as a multi-room setup during BBQs, while maintaining great stereo quality. My questions for the experts: Is it possible—or even recommended—to use portable speakers (like the Move 2) as surrounds and then "unpair" them frequently to take them outside? If I go with Era 100s or Era 300s, how tedious is the process of removing them from the Home Theater setup to use them as a stereo pair elsewhere? What would be the best configuration to get high-quali

Hi,I have play:1’s, a play:3 and Playbar.I have the Sonos S1 app controller for these.I wish to add another speaker but can no longer buy play:1’s as they are discontinued.If I buy the Era 100 Sl or Era 100 can I add these to my existing set up (ie will they all be compatible with each other [the old and new ] and which app will I be able to use to control them all - the Sonos S1 app or the Sonos app? thanks in advance  

 I have two Sonos Five speakers (a stereo pair), and I'd like to improve the stereo sound in my large room (50 sq m). Which is better to add to the system: the Sonos ERA 300 (with Dolby Atmos) (a stereo pair) or the ERA 100 (a stereo pair), and what sound loss might there be? The main speakers will be the Sonos Five.

I have Sonos Era 300 and Roam 2 in my little bedroom. I take Roam 2 when I travel. The new speaker Sonos Play 2026 seems good. I am thinking to buy one more Sonos speaker. Someone said buy another Era 300, but my room is really small though I can still put it in. So now I am really hesitating buy another Era 300 to make pair or buy new Sonos Play? I do have Samsung 11.2 soundbar in my living room. So I don’t need any speaker in living room. I also have 1 Bose portable smart speaker in my bedroom. So currently 3 smart speakers in my bedroom, 2 Sonos and 1 Bose. Plus 1 XiaoMi smart speaker in my ensuite bathroom. Those speakers can play same music via airplay/airplay 2. But only Ear 300 support Dolby Amos. If Sonos Play 2026 support it as well. Then my next speaker purchase definitely is Play. But unfortunately Sonos Play 2026 is not support Dolby atmos. As you know my bedroom is small. So could you please make recommendation buy Era 300 or Play 2026? Many Thanks.

Hi, my family has a house filled with at least 15-20 sonos speakers in the ceiling, amps, connects, arc, etc.  I was surprised when we didn’t get a 25% offer email like everyone seems to be getting.  Any idea how we can get the 25% offer as I just moved out and now want to fit my house with a few thousand $ in speakers for an awesome gaming/movie setup. I have a 20x20 family/media room in my new place, with one wall for the tv completely shelved (not sure if that’s good or bad for speakers). Help me decide what speakers to get and where to put them? From an aesthetics standpoint I was thinking arc ultra right under the TV, sub in the front corner of the room.  I am new to background speakers, but see people tend to have two. So thinking two era 100s or 300s on stands in the back corners (aesthetically better for us than right behind the couch). I was hoping to get the sub era 3 open box and then use the 25% off to get the rest brand new.  Let me know if my thoughts are foolish before I

Hey - I’m doing an addition and it’s going to be an 18 x 26’ Golf simulator/Theater addition.  I’ve started my research and would really like to go the Sonos route but have seen some conflicting information on if its enough to power my room with my distance from where the speakers will be behind my impact screen.  I’m going to have a 16’x9’ Screen and want to have my walls built to house the speakers and was thinking that I’m going to do a Center sound bar with 2 channels behind the impact screen, along with a sub or two behind the screen and then two side channels mounted to the side of the couch, and then possibly two rear channels.  My overarching question is am I too far away from the screen (Sitting approximately 24’ away) to get the benefit of the Sonos system or am I better off going in wall speakers with an amp/reciever? Thank you!!!

I’m looking for some upgrate advice!   I have a Beam Gen 2 and a pair of Ones as rear speakers, which I have had in place since 2018 or so,  I am considering upgrading the Beam to an Arc, but not sure if this is the right next step. I don’t have a Sub, so getting one is an alternative option.It is a large living room with a 55” tv.   I would welcome any thoughts on an uograde witgh limited funds - should I get a Sub 4, or change the Beam to an Arc?  Thanks. 

Hi, Will owners of Sonos V1 hardware be able to use our 30% credit on purchasing an AMP Multi? Can we self install? The website says Find an Installer…Ther website says that there are no Installers for AMP Multi in Melbourne, Australia!   

I currently use a Marantz NR1200 as my amp and am looking to add an element of surround sound to my tv set up. I was hoping to add the Sonos Ultra arc to give me a more cinematic experience. Will the Sonas Ultra arc be compatible with my existing amp??? 

Hi everyone,I am currently fitting out a new detached home office which is a 10x20 steel-framed portable unit (you can see the structural specs and interior layout here: [redacted]I want to create a seamless "Work from Home" audio environment, but I have a few concerns about the acoustics in a metal-clad building:Acoustics: Because the walls are steel-framed with sandwich panel insulation, I’m worried about reflections. Would a pair of Era 100s be enough for a space this size, or should I go with a single Sonos Five to get better depth in a "tighter" acoustic environment?Connectivity: Since the cabin is essentially a metal box, I assume the WiFi signal from my main house will be weak. If I run a dedicated ethernet cable to the unit, can I use a Sonos Boost or just hardwire one speaker to create a stable SonosNet inside the cabin?Mounting: Has anyone had success wall-mounting Sonos speakers on modular sandwich panels, or should I stick to floor stands to avoid vibrations against the ste

Afternoon all.Received an email (two in fact) from Sonos offering a 25% discount on range. But when I link to it, it routes to Sonos US not UK.Just curious if it’s applicable to UK purchases? I’m in the market just now.Tried asking Sonos using Sonos live chat but when the Sonos bot has finished with you and tries to connect you to an agent, the chat window just disappears. Don’t know why but is consistent.Interested if the discount is usable here. Anyone know about that?Many thanks

Hi allMy setup is Beam Gen 2, 2 x Ones SL for rears and the sub mini. Prices on the Sonos Arc have dropped since the Ultra was launched and now it sells in Europe at 499 euros, same as a the Beam Gen 2. Is it worth it to change? The setup is used 70% movies and 30% spotty streaming.Thanks in Advance Dimitris

I do not see upgrade credit for my Play:5 Gen 1. Is this not supposed or an error on my account?

I just put up my new Frame TV and Connected my Arc Ultra to the TV via Bluetooth. But I am unable to connect my in ceiling speakers to the system for my surround sound. Any help would be appreciated 

Hi everyone,I’m currently planning out a Sonos system for my new living area and would love some expert eyes on the layout. It's a very open, airy space with a vaulted ceiling and a massive floor-to-ceiling window wall on one side, which I know can be a nightmare for acoustics.I’m trying to figure out the best placement for a cohesive soundstage. Here is the current setup/plan:I’m planning on a soundbar (likely an Arc) under the TV and a subwoofer. As you can see in the photos, the room is quite deep. The "living" area is carved out by the L-shaped sofa, but it flows directly into the dining area and kitchen.The Rear Speaker Dilemma: I’m wondering if I actually need two rear speakers for this space to get a true surround feel, or if they’ll get "lost" given the open layout behind the sofa.Placement: If I do go with rears (like Era 100s or 300s), where on earth do I put them?Putting them on stands behind the sofa seems like the obvious choice, but would they be too close to the listener

I’m still pretty new to Sonos. I’ve set up two home theaters in my house, one upstairs and one downstairs. Downstairs I have an arc ultra, a mini sub and two era 100s. Upstairs I have a beam, a mini sub and two era 100s. I have a couple of era 300s but I haven’t unboxed yet because I’m trying to decide where I want to use them. I was chatting with a neighbor who told me that she bought some Sonos speakers that were used once for a Super Bowl party, then put back into their boxes, never to be used again. She didn’t really know what kind of speakers she had, but I took a peek and it’s an arc a sub and two Sonos ones. They look and sound perfect. She plans to put them on marketplace for $700 to recoup about half of what she paid, but said she’s let me have them for $450. My questions is whether I can use this equipment with my newer speakers?I don’t need another arc but I could use the Sonos ones in my office, but, having a sub sounds is what has me considering this. Unless I’m missing so

Hi AllI am converting a small single bedroom into a dedicated movie watching room and was hoping for some advice as to what would be the optimum setup for the room.TV Size - 65"Viewing distance - 2.0m (6' 6")Room width (minimum) - 2.4m (7' 11")Room width (maximum) - 2.7m (8' 10")Ceiling height - 2.4m (7' 11")Room length - 3.8m (12' 6")I am happy to spend the money on the setup below, but I was wondering if the small size of the room would make it massive overkill:Arc UltraSub Mini2 x Era 300Setup would be as per the image below.So I guess my question is, will I be able to see the full benefits of the Arc Ultra and Era 300s over a Beam Gen 2 and Era 100s in a room this size, or will the very small volume of the room mean that they won't have enough space to work to their full potential?I should also add that I'd happily upgrade to a Sub 4 (or 2 x Sub Minis) if that would be a big improvement, but am assuming that the small size of the room would make that unnecessary?Thanks  

Do yall have any recessed speakers that doesn’t require speaker wire to the speakers 

I am starting from a scratch. In one room we have four speaker wires to a central location. In the other room we have two speaker wires to a central location and want to add a sound bar. Where do I start? Sonos is clearly the best. What equipment do I need for a wired system? How much space will I need for any amp or similar? Thank you!

Afternoon all. Have an opportunity (at last) to upgrade a listening room and will be going with ERA 300’s and ARC Ultra.Lots of bracketry options but has been a while since bought any. It’s a room that is going to totally renovated and cosmetics as well as practicalities are important. Interested in your suggestion, recommendations and experience as to what the best looking and functioning white bracketry would be please?I’m keen to all the fitting and messy stuff before the nice purchases later year. So getting the right infrastructure and hardware to sit underneath is useful to do now at the drilling and channelling stage.Appreciate any input and advice you have. Many thanks

I have a beam 2 would 2 100s or a mini sub be better to listen to music from Spotify...just starting out in the Sonos world 

Hi, I’m looking for some advice on what system and setup will be best for the space below please.I’m thinking Era 100’s where the green circles are and an Arc for the TV area in the yellow. The 100’s would be a mixture of wall mounted and worktop placed.I’m not keen on the location near the sink, this would be wall mounted above a light switch. I’m concerned how it would look but I’m thinking this would give a better coverage for the island and kitchen with the other speaker across from it than the shelving area. I’m also unsure of the one located by the TV area. I think it would physically become an obstruction.I considered ceiling speakers but have the children’s bedrooms above the main part of the space and have read they do not perform as well as wall mounted speakers.I’m looking to get a good coverage across the main areas of the room, kitchen, island, dining table and TV area for music. I’m not looking to use a surround sound for the TV but would be good if there was a way to par
