The Sonos Era 100 is a compact powered speaker with three Class D amplifiers driving two tweeters and a mid-woofer, so a single unit plays true stereo rather than mono. It streams over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, works with AirPlay 2 and the Sonos app, and takes voice commands through Sonos Voice Control or Alexa, with a mic switch that cuts the microphones in hardware. Two units pair for stereo or rear surround in a Sonos home theater setup, and a turntable or other source connects through the separate line-in adapter. It suits listeners who want room-filling sound from a small speaker and a path to a multiroom system; the main trade-offs against rivals are the adapter needed for wired input and the lack of a built-in battery.

Owners and reviewers treat the Era 100 as one of the strongest small smart speakers, praising its stereo imaging, clear mids and easy setup. Common complaints center on limited low end, the extra adapter for wired sources and dependence on the Sonos app.
The Sonos Era 100 is a compact active speaker with a built-in amplifier. It connects over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth and plays audio from the Sonos app, Apple AirPlay 2, or supported apps including Spotify, Tidal and Pandora. A touch strip on top gives quick control without a screen.
It works on its own, or two can be paired in the same room for stereo sound or home theater surround sound. More Sonos speakers can be added around the home. A turntable or other device can be connected with an auxiliary cable and the Sonos Line-In Adapter, which is sold separately.
Voice control is built in through Sonos Voice Control, and the speaker is also compatible with Alexa. Tapping the speech bubble on top quickly disables voice control. A mic off switch fully deactivates the microphone hardware. The speaker is built with 48% post-consumer recycled plastics.
