Definitely love my era 100s with full size sub and Gen 2 beam I have that set up in both my living room and my bedroom. Nice upgrade from the play ones.
Upgraded ones to Era 100s with beam, fullsize sub, full mode. Amazing upgrade music only. In less than a week replaced the second set of one's in same configuration in my bedroom. Better bass, better mid-range better sound stage. I don't do surround sound television. ❤❤❤
I have several Sonos speakers. In my lounge for music, I now have an older pair of Fives which are looked up to a turntable and cd player. Plus I now have a single Era 300 which I use for Atmos music. Best of both worlds!
x2 Era 100s for me.. I like front facing sound for surround audio.. it’s a shame the Era 300.. don’t use that front facing tweeter during movies.. a few viewers have complained about this.. I’m sure the Era 300 is an amazing speaker.. But I’m happy with my Sonos Ones so the Era 100s will still be an upgrade in the Bass department.. With the Sonos upgrade program and selling my ones.. I can pay a good price overall for the Era 100s.. Eventually I might dip into Atmos speakers in the future… just got the Sub mini and loving my setup.. I am really excited about the Era 100s and love the look of them 😊
We had a 1st gen Echo in our master bathroom for listening to music in the morning czcams.com/users/postUgkxABghAEkaIDGZfHRBH3D3rBrlraNmnC71 and while in the shower. I didn't realize how tinny and awful the sound output on the original Echo was until we replaced it with the Studio. It was a sonic upgrade far beyond what I was expecting. Just wow. I love it because it's like having speakers IN the shower. My friend likes it because the music is so loud that she can no longer hear me singing. So that's a win-win.

I'm gonna say, I have a Beam Gen 2 as my PC speaker. I think it's a overkill and I never listen to music or content with Dolby Atmos, so I decided to buy two Era 100 and set them up as a stereo pair. I think this setup will be better for me.
2 Era 100's with a Sub mini is an amazing set up. The speakers masterfully creates a live experience on high's and crazy goods mids, and the sub gives an amazing Thud.
I’ve just bought 2 era 100s for £336 new, going to set them up tomorrow , I’ve got a beam 2 as a front speaker and will set them as rear speakers as you said 😁
I just went out & bought 2 of each ...,.I juggle the set up depending on what I am listening to...all 4 for Imagine Dragons ...& just 1 100 for The Goon Show ...(it restrains the high speed vocals with clarity very well)😅
I dove into the eco system with a Move and Era 300. I have a very large open concept space to fill and I’ll definitely get a sub, 2nd era 300, and sound bar for the future. Atmos sounds great for some tracks, the era 300 is great for regular audio to just airplay to as well combined with the move.
Era 300 was too big for my small room, so I decided to change it to Era 100 and I think it's the right decision. Now I have Arc, Sub 3 gen, Era 100 for a small room, Era 300 I think is a wrong choice for small room.
I’d love to see a rears vid. Currently have a beam (2gen), with sub mini and 2 SL’s. Really want to know if 2 x era 300 would fit into my setup as rears 😁
20m2 living room. Single Era 300 vs stereo Era 100 (same price in Belgium). I listen to Dolby Atmos from time to time, but 40-50% of tracks at most (AM listener). Which you think would be more entertaining setup? :)
I have a big question, I really like listening to music, and I have a sonos era 300, what would be better to accompany it? another sonos was 300? or two sonos era 100?
Hi, can you answer this: about the Era 300 , is it possible to pair one directly to the Apple TV 4K and have the Dolby Atmos Expérience watching movies on your TV. And please don’t answer me : « you should buy better the HomePod second gen instead »! 😊 Thanks for your reply…
So I thought these would be an alternative to my Beam but I don’t think they are. I currently have the Beam and the Sub in my living room and a One in my bath. The One is fantastic in my bath as it provides a great sound experience while in the shower. Could anyone tell me if a pair of 100’s would be a good option for my tv system in my basement or should I consider another Beam and Sub. We don’t often use the tv downstairs but it could be a nice entertainment area.
I paired 2 era 100's with an Arc and it sounds amazing. I think combining it with a beam is also a great option. I live in an apartment so I'm hesitant to get a sub, but for what it's worth, the era 100's have quite decent bass in them. If you really want to know what a good option for you would be, I suggest visiting a store where you can test out and experience what these different speakers have to offer.
I'm seriously thinking of the following and would like to know peoples opinions if it's overkill or just won't work, or will work brilliantly. My listening space is fairly small but I want to ge the best I can for it. Room is not quite square. I wanted to put 2 x ERA 300 on the opposite wall to the sofa. And also a full Gen3 sub. But on the same wall as the sofa, 2 x ERA 100 facing inwards towards the sitting position. And in line with the sofa. Would this work do you think? Open to any advice. Thanks in advance.
what would be best, Beam Gen 2 + 2 Era 100s or Beam Gen 2 + 1 Era 300? In either scenario the Eras will be rears and then option to add a sub mini at some point later on
I would personally go for 2 Era 100 speakers. I feel like they're a better fit for all-round use like watching shows and series, movies, gaming and listening to music. But that's just my personal opinion, as I don't really listen to Dolby Atmos music, and I don't really care about that as well. And by no means do the era 100 speakers sound like shit when listening to music, as they are actually really amazing in their own right, but the Era 300 just offers a different experience when it comes to music apparently.
I have my record player hooked up to a Port which won’t connect to the Sub Mini in my speaker set. Do we know if the Era 100 or 300 will connect to the Sub Mini?
Anyone having trouble finding a sweet spot / triangular sound with a pair of Era 300s? I’ve experimented with room placement, toe-in, done TruePlay before vs. after pairing as a stereo, adjusted EQ and Height. Despite such, sitting slightly to one side of a sofa renders the vocal much more prominent on that side of the listening vs. ideally in the center stage. Any help is most appreciated! Note I don’t have a sub yet, but would get a sub-mini to free up the 300s mids. Thanks
Would the 300 be any good as a speaker for a Samsung G8 OLED? Uncertain of which way to go because I don't want to lose the single HDMI port which would be the case if I used a soundbar
I will say this again, this channel is very elegant. Kudos to the script writer and director. 👍🏼
Definitely don't underestimate the era 100s 👌
Over rated
@@cytolktc definitely not.
2 was 100 with the sub mini it’s perfect 😊
Definitely love my era 100s with full size sub and Gen 2 beam I have that set up in both my living room and my bedroom. Nice upgrade from the play ones.
@@cytolktcjust like your boyfriend
I have a pair of era 300s linked with a mini sub and it’s absolutely amazing 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Lovely set-up 👍
I have the Arc, Gen 3 sub, and two Era 300’s……sounds like being in a theater! It’s amazing! No need to ever go to the movies again!

The Era 300 seems to be a good option to add depth to a Sonos soundbar. For music purposes only, a pair of Era 100 are probably the way to go.

How are you liking it?
Great review and comparison! I think I am going with one Era 300 now as it is easier to place for me than having to have 2 separate speakers.
2 Era 100's with a Sub mini is an amazing set up. The speakers masterfully creates a live experience on high's and crazy goods mids, and the sub gives an amazing Thud.
I'm upgrading my old play 1s to two Era 100's. I love the fact that I can hook up and old CD player to them.
I’ve just bought 2 era 100s for £336 new, going to set them up tomorrow , I’ve got a beam 2 as a front speaker and will set them as rear speakers as you said 😁
I’d love to see a comparison between 2 era 100s vs 1 Sonos Five I wonder how much of a difference in the mids would be
Stereo pair will still sound better.
Waiting for the rears video…..
I just went out & bought 2 of each ...,.I juggle the set up depending on what I am listening to...all 4 for Imagine Dragons ...& just 1 100 for The Goon Show ...(it restrains the high speed vocals with clarity very well)😅
Thank you. Wondering this exact thing and testing both right now.
I dove into the eco system with a Move and Era 300. I have a very large open concept space to fill and I’ll definitely get a sub, 2nd era 300, and sound bar for the future. Atmos sounds great for some tracks, the era 300 is great for regular audio to just airplay to as well combined with the move.
How is the Sonos Move sound wise?
Era 300 was too big for my small room, so I decided to change it to Era 100 and I think it's the right decision. Now I have Arc, Sub 3 gen, Era 100 for a small room, Era 300 I think is a wrong choice for small room.
Then miss out on full atmos setup no?
I’d love to see a rears vid. Currently have a beam (2gen), with sub mini and 2 SL’s. Really want to know if 2 x era 300 would fit into my setup as rears 😁
Stay tuned...👀
What you should be comparing is how does the era300 compare with its Spatial Audio setting turned off vs the 100’s. It’s not mandatory to use.
300 is my choice, but in stereo 😊
This is our favourite Sonos music set-up 🎯
How would the 100's fair on a computer desk set up?
1:16 Well, that's the only reason I came here. Thanks for the heads up!
Well, I want to get 2 Era 300s plus a sub gen 3. It will be nice if you can review those in a stereo setup.
20m2 living room. Single Era 300 vs stereo Era 100 (same price in Belgium). I listen to Dolby Atmos from time to time, but 40-50% of tracks at most (AM listener). Which you think would be more entertaining setup? :)
2x Era 100
Are the 300 an overkill as rears for a surround experience while watching movies?
I have a big question, I really like listening to music, and I have a sonos era 300, what would be better to accompany it? another sonos was 300? or two sonos era 100?
100% another Era 300. You will be surprised by the difference 📈
Can you test a pair of 100s vs 300's?
I still have 2015 LG Music Flow wi-fi speakers. They cover my entire home and I have never enjoyed a sound system as much as I do these.

What would you suggest for a 50'x100' auto repair shop. It's all wide open with 14' ceilings
What about all 3 then?
When’s the head to head comparison coming out for the last gen vs current gen
Great video guys. I'm in the market atm and looking at these two options. Do you have a store in London?
Unfortunately not, our store is based in Gloucestershire 🙏

Two 100'a sounds really really goos.
Do you recommend the era 300 stereo pair in a setup with a beam (gen 2) + sub mini over the sonos five stereo pair.
Hello, what can get louder / fil a larger room between one 300 or two 100 ?
I'm seriously thinking of the following and would like to know peoples opinions if it's overkill or just won't work, or will work brilliantly.

What do you think about a pair of 300's for behind my sofa?
I’ve seen other videos talk both that and they say they’re great as rears
That other video is the one I need lol!
2 x Era 100 + Sub mini 👍👍
what would be best, Beam Gen 2 + 2 Era 100s or Beam Gen 2 + 1 Era 300? In either scenario the Eras will be rears and then option to add a sub mini at some point later on

Yes the Sub won’t connect to the Port but will connect to the Era’s absolutely fine. Hope this helps.

So it can’t directly be used as speaker for a smart TV?
Would the 300 be any good as a speaker for a Samsung G8 OLED? Uncertain of which way to go because I don't want to lose the single HDMI port which would be the case if I used a soundbar
While you can connect this to a TV we would recommend a soundbar every time.
These are Wifi correct? I don't want no Bluetooth junk.
Era 100 not loud enough
How? My sofa rumbles as rears with them? They get to loud if anything
Sonos one is much better then Era100
Nope, not even close.
@@rpe97 sounds much better😉
