The Sonos Era 100 is a compact, humidity-resistant Wi-Fi smart speaker. It is the next generation after the Sonos One and adds built-in Bluetooth and a 47% faster processor for improved stereo separation and detail. Its mid-woofer is 25% larger for stronger, richer bass.
It has three drivers: two angled tweeters and one mid-woofer. Each driver is powered by its own Class D amplifier to create a spacious stereo soundfield. One speaker can be used alone, or two can be paired for wider stereo playback.
The Era 100 connects to home Wi-Fi for streaming services, and it also streams from a phone over Bluetooth 5.0 or Apple AirPlay 2. A built-in far-field microphone array allows voice control. Sonos Voice Control uses on-device processing, and Amazon Alexa compatibility lets it control smart home devices. The free Sonos S2 app handles setup, multi-room control and playlists. Trueplay tuning adjusts the sound to the room. It uses the microphone in an iPhone or iPad, or the speaker's own microphones with Android.
