Era 100

Today I got to listen to 2 Era 100’s and a Sonos Arc and I’m surprised that for the price point they sound worse than my $100 Edifier Bookshelf speakers! Am I imagining this or do Sonos speakers sound robotic and a bit “un-dynamic” if that makes sense?

It’s such a shame for the price point…

Very full stage sound. Only complaint is the Era is slightly over powering the Arc Ultra and dialogue... Any ideas?

I think what you’re hearing makes sense.I used Era 100s as fronts myself for a while, and they were okay, but to me they were never the best front solution. I later ran Era 300 as fronts with Era 100 as surrounds, and that sounded very good. After that I bought Sonos Fives and now use Fives as front

I currently have 6 Mirage satellite speakers mounted on the ceiling like the 2 seen in this photo. I really want to upgrade to much better speakers but am having difficulty choosing which kind (satellite, bookshelf, floor standing, etc.) and where to place them given the odd layout of this room.

We need an upgraded Era 100 with up firing speakers and possibly an higher price. The possibility to adding them as front surrounds will triggers many Sonos users to buy 4 (but selling 2 Era 300 currently underused as rear surrounds).

Nisam audiofil. Telka mi ima dobre zvučnike (Phillips The One 75’), ali sam htio upgrade. Žena nije odobrila Sonos Era 350 pa sam uzeo dva Era 100 i Beam 2 kombo, za moje potrebe sasvim dovoljno, iako bih volio woofer ubaciti u mix. Pregovori su u tijeku.

It's going to depend a lot on the room (shape, surfaces, speaker placement) and what you're going for or what you didn't like about the other ones you've tried. To me, the Sound and Sound Lite sound better than a Sonos Era 100 but not quite as good as a Sonos Five. If you're at a place where you can

Sonos all the way for me. Beam 2, 2x Subs (incredible experience), and Era 100 surrounds

I love good sound, and I'll always pay a bit more for quality speakers and headphones. I bought a Sonos One for the kitchen and a Sonos Beam for the living room around 6 years ago, and they're still going strong. I think they've discontinued the One and replaced it with the Era 100, but you can pick

I do not agree at all. I think it really depends on what you use it for. I think most people complaining on the app use B&O’s ear-/headphones and not their Beolab/Beosound speakers. I use it for a Theatre, Beolab 28s, Beolab 8s and Beosound 2, and is generally happy with the software. I previously h
