I listen to music for a large part of the day at home. I have had a jam box for 8-9 yrs and thought it was the best until I got the Sonos!! The quality, the bass is just a step above the jam box! What I don’t like about it… it is not battery operated for portability and it doesn’t stay connected to my iPhone. So every time I use it I have to connect to my phone and who knows, that could be something I’m doing wrong. Anyway, just an extra step for me to use it which it’s so worth it in my opinion. I highly recommend this speaker if you are a music lover!

I love Sonos speakers. I have the Sonos surround sound in my living room, but I didn’t have it in my bathroom where I used to listen to the radio while getting ready in the morning. The radio didn’t have the talk show that I liked so I stopped the radio part. I decided to give myself an early Christmas gift and purchase a Sonos speaker for my bathroom and listen to whatever music I wanted to by subscribing to Amazon Music. I also purchased an Echo Dot (Alexa) and just tell her what I want to listen to and I love it. The sound is absolutely wonderful. I’m a very happy 86 year old woman.

I already have 2 Era 100’s and a Sub mini in my Family room. They sound fantastic. Some times I like to sit in my Living room and read, or meditate. But I would turn the volume up in the family room so I could hear those speakers. So I decided to get a third Era 100 for my living room. I put it on a small decorative shelf. I must say it is everything I imagined it would be. When setting it up I didn’t know I could turn off selected speakers. This was a unexpected plus for me. So if I am in my living room I could just have the one Era 100 speaker play and vice versa. Or I could have all three and the sub mini playing at the same time. After having the 2 Era 100’s and Sub mini for a couple of months now, I had forgotten how good just 1 Era 100 speaker sound. I did notice the two Era 100’s paired with the sub sound more clear and crisp than the single Era 100’s. That’s because the Sub mini is using the low that the Era 100’s would had normally played. Great concept in sound and speakers. I just turned the treble up a little bit more in the single Era 100 to get more highs. Sounds good. It’s too bad Sonos doesn’t allow for multiple Sub minis connected in the same group, it would be phenomenal. I had read somewhere that it wasn’t cost effective for the consumer to buy 2 Sub minis when 1 Gen 3 Sub woofer has more output than two Sub minis. I say who cares Sonos? If a consumer wants to spend their money on a second Sub mini and put in in another room in the same speaker group it’s their prerogative. If that’s true then their business model doesn’t make since to me. Set up was a breeze too. Because I didn’t use a tutorial to set this up, it took me a few minutes to figure out how to select the speaker, because at first the single Era 100 didn’t play although it was connected. But the setup was a breeze. Very easy. I may get another Era 100 (this time used) and put it in my kitchen and I’ll have sound throughout all of downstairs. I’ve been fortunate to not have problems with the app, unlike many others. I am very impressed and satisfied.

What a shame. When they work the sound is amazing. The problem. They never work for streaming music because of a woeful update to its software. Even the NYT, which once recommended the system as the best has changed its mind. About three months ago Sonos updated its system software that literally rendered my entire Sonos speaker system (This Sonos Era 100 included) useless. To use this system as a music streaming device, you must use the Sonos App. Sonos used to have one of the best apps in the business. Intuitive with amazing functionality. A few months ago they tried to update it, basically trying to make it look more like Amazon music. It was an utter failure. Folks like me are wanting to sell their entire system. I stayed with sonos for three months now since they promised they would make things right. They have not. The speakers stop streaming music after playing just one song. Nearly no commands work correctly. When I tell it to stop playing a song. It does not listen. I manually have to press the button on the speaker. This system was developed so you could talk to it and play all music across an entire CD. That used to be possible. Now it is not. Literally stops playing after one song. Via voice prompt, when you tell it to go to the next song, it cannot. We Sonos music streamers have lost the capability to stream music directly from our device’s own music library. Many of us bought Sonos because we wanted to have great speakers that would directly play music from our phones or our shared music library folders on our computers. That functionality has ceased to exist. Run! Don’t walk. And return these speakers. Their only use today is as a bluetooth device where you have to physically press each song you want to move onto via whatever controlling system you have for bluetooth. The Sonos incompetence here I cannot overstate. A once great company and music system has fallen. Such a shame. It did not have to be this way. If I could speak to the CEO of Sonos I would tell him this: Your bread and butter was your speaker system, not headphones, not other products. Get back to the basics. Restore the streaming functionality that allowed us to enjoy music via touchless voice commands and software that was once top notch. I have five Sonos speakers for sale. I hate to do it, but I am making all my speakers Amazon speakers. At least Amazon respects it customers by doing research before launching new products that destroy the functionality of what used to be. Goodbye, Sonos. Forever!

Love 💕 this speaker! I’ve had one in my den for years. I don’t know what took me so long to add another to my bedroom so I can sync up the music in my home. It even wakes me up in the morning. It has Alexa features and the sound is unduplicated by any other sound system. I just love love love Sonos!!
