Era 300

Sonos trying to now claim the inner firing rear surround is disabled by design - yet it was designed to sound better with them turned on.

If you're a Cure fan & have an Atmos speaker setup you already know how awesome this is! If you do not, then you will just have to get one ASAP (I recommend the Era 300).

Yesterday I had a listening session of the sonos era 300. It was underwhelming. Atmos content is great! It has great soundstage but the lack of bass for a speaker of this size is a total failure in my book. Especially compared to the smaller HomePod which has very deep bass and clear vocals with gre

Sounds better is subjective. HomePod actually does play significantly lower, which means it produces a more accurate representation of the audio, as it can reach more of the frequency range. It doesn’t mean it’s perfect or even entirely ‘accurate’, but it is definitely a fuller and more complete sou

I've been a relatively happy subscriber of YouTube music back from the days it was called Google music and it was the only music streaming service available in Japan. Besides the likes disappearing, I didn't have much complain with the service.

For movies in a bedroom I suggest paired set of HomePods 2. It will give you Spatial Audio/Atmos and music will sound good. Spotify still plays through airplay or AppleTV app. Sonos era 300 can compete with a paired set but that would be only music. AppleTV would send audio through airplay and would

Airplay 1 does cast 16-bit/44.1Khz lossless. All KEF W2 speakers with network connectivity support this. Does Apple let you choose to use this when they also support Airplay 2? Nope. Airplay 2 is indeed fixed to 256Kbps AAC or DD+ Atmos for the Atmos audio, which is not supported by many players or

I have an actual hardware device meant for playing spatial audio and it was far from cheap (Sonos Era 300). And it still doesn't really work. You have to jump through a bunch of hoops to set it up and it only works with Apple Music (except you still have to use the Sonos app). Limiting my complaints

I use the "Sleep" radio station on Amazon Music played through my Sonos Era 300 at level 15 and sleep soundly. No elaborate matrix of pills needed.

A good atmos setup to enjoy Spatial Audio , way more noticeable and enjoyable than lossless honestly. I have 2 sonos era 300 in my living room , and honestly there is a HUGE difference on good atmos mixes between when I play music from Apple Music and when my wife plays from Spotify the same songs.
