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

If you're looking to add wireless speakers, etc. to your TV or other entertainment devices, Sonos is the way to go. Sonos is quite expensive, but you're buying not only high-quality audio devices but also the flexibility of being wireless for sound and the interconnectedness of all the Sonos devices. The Sonos app recognizes all of your various devices and makes it easy for them to work together. You can assign devices to specific rooms or, if you want, set up a home audio network where music is played everywhere. The Sonos app also integrates access to Apple Music, Amazon Music, or just the Sonos music that they offer. For a home theater, starting with a Sonos soundbar opens the door for adding other Sonos speakers and a Sonos subwoofer. The sound bar, while using the Sonos application on your smartphone, will recognize other speakers and a subwoofer in the room. You also can configure the speakers to work separately, or they can be part of a surround sound system tied to the Sonos sound bar. The nice thing about each of the system audio components is that individually, you can touch the component (a speaker or soundbar for example) and control the room sound level, so you don't always have to go to the Sonos app on your smartphone to do so. You can get great sound for your entertainment system without requiring a receiver and complicated wiring. Generally, you just need: • A power cable • An HDMI cable for connecting to a TV • Preferably an Ethernet cable so all the devices can work over your Wi-Fi network • The Sonos subwoofer can work wirelessly, without requiring an Ethernet cable connection which is optional

Superb audio for large living room

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.

I bought a sonos arc ultra soundbar, a sonos subwoofer gen 4, and 2 sonos era 300 speakers for rear channel in our family room home theater. We use them with a 83" LG OLED C5 TV. Also for playing music without the the TV over a streaming app. It's incredible. The simplicity and audio quality are amazing. We used to always watch TV at night. But now with our Sonos setup, we will spend evenings with the TV off and listen to the amazing audio provided by Sonos. I've tried a variety of speaker systems o er the years... but this is my favorite setup. It's not cheap... but the quality and experience is amazing. If you want a high quality home theater system... get the same speakers I purchased.

I've used many products over the years that combine hardware and software, and Sonos is just tragic. Their hardware is excellent. Sound quality, and specifically the ability to fill a room with sound from a single, small, unobtrusive speaker like this one is excellent....when it works. However, if the software to talk to it, set it up, and use it day-to-day is garbage, then it makes all that excellent hardware useless. Sadly, this is the case with Sonos. The main problem is it just loses connectivity and stops playing for no reason. No problem you say, just restart the app. Nope. It won't connect to the speaker. OK, then just reset the speaker. Two issues: First, that's a 50/50 roll of the dice. Sometimes it reconnects, other times, it just refuses. You now have an expensive brick until it decides to reconnect. Second, I had the speaker up on a high shelf in a room with a 20ft ceiling, so it was up about 8ft. Resetting the speaker meant getting a ladder! Every....single....day. This just should not be....ever. I called Sonos, I wrote to Sonos, I filed service tickets with Sonos. Nothing. Zip. Nada. They couldn't be bothered to even respond, let alone help solve the problem. Do an internet search folks. Mine is not a unique experience. Many people have reported the same exact issue. And don't let the review stuffers on Amazon fool you. Do your research so you don't end up with an unusable brick.

Amazing sound from a small package. Work great as a stereo set too.

Amazing speakers. Definitely a game changer. You will get and feel the true surround sound with these bad boys. You can never go wrong with Sonos.

BOCINA SONOS ERA 300: UNA BESTIA DE AUDIO ESPACIAL. ¡CALIDAD EXCEPCIONAL QUE NO ES PARA HACER DESMADRE, CABRÓN! ​Mira, la neta es que si ya llegaste hasta esta reseña es porque sabes que andas buscando algo serio. Te lo digo sin rodeos: la calidad de audio de esta bocina es simplemente excepcional. Es tan impresionante que te hace reevaluar lo que es escuchar música de verdad. La fidelidad con la que reproduce cada instrumento es la onda; te vas a dar cuenta de detalles que ni sabías que existían en tus canciones favoritas. Por el lado del sonido, esta joya es una compra segura y vale cada peso invertido. ​Ahora, aquí va la advertencia crucial que te puede ahorrar un coraje (y pon mucha atención, güey): ​Si eres una de esas personas que no disfrutan la calidad musical y te buscas una bocina para poner tu reggaetón y que te retumbe hasta la pared, ¡OLVÍDALO! Los bajos son decentes, sí, pero no son exagerados. Esta no es para el party escandaloso. Esta bocina es exclusivamente para amantes de la fidelidad que aprecian la música, no para armar el desmadre. Si tu prioridad es solo el ruido, busca otra opción más barata. ​El único punto malo que le pongo es el Bluetooth, y te voy a decir por qué: no es que la función sea mala, sino que es inútil en este nivel, cabrón. Esta bocina fue diseñada para que escuches la música sin pérdidas (o sea, vía Wi-Fi), que es donde se le saca todo el jugo a esa calidad tan cabrona. El Bluetooth siempre tiene pérdidas de señal, y usarlo es como comprar un Ferrari para manejarlo en terracería. Es un adorno que no está a la altura de esta bocina. El chiste es usarla fija y por la red. ​En resumen: Si priorizas la perfección de audio por encima del volumen desmedido, dale sin miedo. Esta es una inversión que te va a volar la cabeza. ¡No te quedes con las ganas de tener esta chingonería!

Amazing product, sound is outstanding and the build quality is noticeable, easy to setup and use.

I recently picked up two Sonos Era 300s to pair with my Sonos Arc, and I’m super impressed. The Era 300s add a whole new level of depth and spatial audio, especially when watching Dolby Atmos content. Movies and music feel incredibly immersive – it's like being in the middle of the action. Setup was easy, and everything syncs flawlessly through the Sonos app. The Era 300s really shine as rear surrounds – clear highs, wide soundstage, and great imaging. That said, I highly recommend adding the Sonos Sub to complete the experience. While the Arc has decent low end, once you hear it with the Sub, there’s no going back. The bass really fills the room and ties everything together. If you're building a premium home theater setup with Sonos, this combo (Arc + 2x Era 300 + Sub) is the way to go!

Der Klang ist allgemein ok, nur der Bass fehlt komplett. Im vergleich zu meinem Dynaudio Music 5 ist dies miserabel.

Como entusiasta de la música que aprecia una amplia calidad de sonido, me he encontrado gratamente sorprendido por la capacidad de la Era 300 para ofrecer graves robustos y bien definidos que complementan a la perfección cualquier género musical (usando TruePlay). No son graves exagerados, sino más bien justamente balanceados, proporcionando la cantidad adecuada de profundidad sin abrumar los matices más delicados de las pistas. La escena sonora es otra característica que merece ser elogiada. Esta bocina crea una atmósfera envolvente que parece extenderse más allá de las paredes de mi habitación mediana, llenándola con un sonido rico y detallado que hace que cada escucha sea una experiencia inmersiva. La calidad en los matices es excepcional; cada nota y cada instrumento se pueden diferenciar claramente, lo que permite apreciar la música. La facilidad con la que puedo conectar la bocina a Spotify y Apple Music es notable, y me permite disfrutar de mis listas de reproducción con la mayor comodidad mientras descanso en mi cuarto. El hecho de que funcione tan maravillosamente en solitario, sin la necesidad de un par estéreo, habla del poder y la eficiencia del diseño acústico de la bocina. Lamentablemente, Apple Music aún no es compatible con Lossless en la aplicación directamente, así que si quieres aprovechar este agregado, tendrás que transmitirlo por AirPlay (y tener muy buena conexión a internet). Aunque no me considero un audiófilo en el sentido más técnico (en bocinas, en audífonos es otra cosa), la calidad de sonido que emana de esta bocina me ha permitido disfrutar de mi música favorita decentemente (y para el público general, creo que será muy bueno). La facilidad de uso, la calidad de construcción y la calidad sonora hacen de esta bocina una pieza central en mi disfrute diario de la música en mi recámara principal. Definitivamente, es una adquisición que recomendaría a cualquiera que busque una experiencia auditiva sin las complicaciones de equipos más sofisticados. NOTA: Eso sí, si quieren una bocina mucho mejor en términos de calidad de audio, les recomendaría irse por la Sonos Five (actualmente, en el momento que estoy realizando esta reseña... quizá, en algún momento Sonos saque una Era 500, no lo sé). Gracias por leer mi reseña :)
