I tested myself: Sonos Era 100

It’s time for Sonos to announce the successor to the Sonos One. With the Sonos Era 100, the redesigned succession is now assured. With new connectivity options and improved Trueplay technology, this new generation of speakers ensures innovation. Voice control is also an added feature. We can test the Sonos Era 100.

A built-in wireless speaker is on many people’s wish list. So the Sonos Era 100 will not be out of place for many. In terms of colors, you can choose between black and white. The speaker features a sleek and modern design. This allows you to easily integrate it into your home. Just think of a bookshelf, side table or desk. Strikingly, there are almost no buttons on the Sonos Era 100. To continue the modern line, Sonos firmly opts for touch buttons and, for example, you have to “swipe” to change the volume.

Start by downloading the Sonos app and selecting Trueplay. Room acoustics are set using the microphones on the Era 100. Do you plan to use the speaker in different rooms? Then you have to let Trueplay do its work in every room. This is possible for both Android and iOS users.

You can listen to your favorite music in different ways. In addition to Bluetooth, the Sonos Era 100 also has a USB-C adapter, Wi-Fi, and a 3.5mm line-in for connecting a record player to a soundbar, for example. It is now possible to play your favorite songs without having to access the Internet thanks to Bluetooth technology. There is also support for various streaming services. Voice control is also possible thanks to the built-in microphone. You can give voice commands via Alexa and through Sonos Voice Control. Unfortunately, Google Assistant is not available.

How is the sound quality? The Era 100 can easily fill a room with clear sound and the bass comes into its own thanks to the larger center speaker. Are you going to set up stereo? It’s possible, but you’ll have to buy a second Sonos Era 100.
