SonosEra 300 - Black - Wireless, Alexa Enabled Smart Speaker with Dolby Atmos.

I upgraded our Sonos Arc system, (which had consisted of Arc, Sub, and a pair of Sonos Ones), to Arc, Sub and a pair of Era 300s. Once I got everything set up perfectly the sound is nothing short of otherworldly! Even on a low volume setting the sound just seems to come out of the atmosphere.That said, the set up was not as straightforward as one might expect. The directions are not easy to find for every situation. First you need to decide whether you want to set it up ultimately as a surround system, or put the emphasis on stereo music. Though you can switch back and forth, it’s somewhat complicated to do so. I tried it out both ways and settled for the surround mode and the music is still spectacular. I did ultimately call the Sonos help line to help me set things up so that my existing remote controls worked with the system rather than just the Sonos app. I got through to a rep in less than 5 minutes and he patiently walked me through the needed changes.One last complication I ran into after the helpline call: I performed the Sonos Trueplay procedure repeatedly and it kept saying something went wrong and to try again.Get this: I wear hearing aids and they were interfering with the Bluetooth setup. I turned off both my hearing aids and the Bluetooth on my iPad and Trueplay immediately did its thing. Then I turned my hearing aids and iPad back on, and everything worked as it should. From classical, to rock,to jazz, to Bluegrass the music is sensational!So, now the music is sensational, the TV surround is fantastic, and speech is more clear than it has ever been. We invested a fair amount of dough, but this now truly is a case of quality isn’t expensive, it’s priceless, as even my wife, who thought I was nuts to spend this much ,is absolutely thrilled with the end result. If Mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy,and Mama’s happy.

Got these as a gift for my son to complete his Sonos system. The sound is incredible. Crisp, clear, and easy to set up with the Sonos system.

When it is brand new, it lacks as much bass as it will have after it breaks in. I am a sound engineer and I LOVE the sound from this speaker. I have big Focal towers, a high end amp to drive just them and a pair of 15" subs all together costing twice what my first car did, and I usually just have this Sonos on. The app works great for me.

Fantastic little speaker. The auto calibration software is pretty good, which means it’s very flexible in different acoustic environments. Able to select the speaker in my devices on Spotify to easily control music playing on the speaker from my phone’s Spotify UI.

I have a love-hate relationship with this speaker. When it works, it sounds amazing. But when it doesn’t, it’s incredibly frustrating—I feel like throwing it out the window. Most of the issues seem to stem from the Sonos app.I have the speaker connected to my Sonos Arc soundbar, but it frequently stutters. From what I’ve read on several forums, this might be because I’m only using one speaker. I’ve had it for about three months now and bought it from Best Buy.I decided to order a second one from Amazon, but when it arrived, it was the wrong product—an outdated, used model they don’t even manufacture anymore. I returned it immediately, but two weeks later, I still haven’t received a refund. According to Amazon, it may take at least another two weeks before it's processed.At this point, I’m probably just going to buy another one from Best Buy and avoid the hassle altogether. It’s especially frustrating because I’ve always been a big fan of Amazon—my family and I purchase a lot from them. This experience has definitely shaken that trust.

Love Sonos products, have several. But, I purchased the new Era 300 and could not get them to work with my system. Digging in deep on the e-manual for my Samsung TV, the surround sound option will not work unless a Samsung Remote Speaker is part of the system. Had to return the Era 300's. The sound that came out of them was awesome.... but no surround.

We bought a Beam (gen 2) soundbar and an Era 300 on sale recently. While the instructions are clear, he This would be 5 stars except the APP is glitchy and not as intuitively user friendly ( unless you're a software engineer!). During initial setup the AP stopped with error message "unable to register product." After 3 attempts (two hours) it stayed with the message. FORTUNATELY , we had a friend of our neighbors who worked for Sonos and he was great at walking through it - finally had to do factory reset on both units and then was able to proceed. Did advanced tuning for each room - and the sound quality of these units is unbelievably good. We had a small portable Bose speaker - this is a long overdue step up! Once set up you wont regret it! Just be patient......

Excellent sound
