Sonos Era 100 vs. Sonos One, what’s changed?

[@ColonelSternlove]

I like this robot reviewing these speakers

[@soprano7088]

🤣🤣

[@johnholmes125]

Clueless You are aware? on one you can tap the mic on and off.. You make it sound as if this is a new feature?

[@Tortuex_]

I like these speakers reviewing that robot

[@daisytran6471]

Clear and to the point. Very helpful. Thank you.

[@MonticArckeys]

Good review. What about as surrounds?

🎉I have a home theater Projector setup I've been trying to figure out & landed here after searching for hours searching how I could send my projector's bluetooth audio over to my Sonos Ones (stereo pair). I tried looking up "airplay transmitters", dongles, cables, bluetooth>airplay converters.. and finally got warmer when I learned that the $180 Sonos Roam could pass bluetooth audio onto an existing Sonos network independently of something like Spotify Connect / having to go through an iPhone/tablet. Now I've just watched your video and I'm sold- while getting a Roam would be a pretty expensive bluetooth>airplay gateway, getting a single $250 Sonos Era 100 is the better buy - so I'll eventually replace my Sonos One pair with the Era 100's, and in the meanwhile - it can be a third wheel in my home theater setup (*so I can pass Projector bluetooth audio to the Era100) And bc you can only form a stereo pair with the same model - only 2 sonos ones can form a stereo pair, only 2 era 100's can form a pair, can't mix and match. And 2 Era100's at this moment is more than I can budget for. Hope this helps anybody else who has a home theater / projector setup! Hard to find a solution to this on the internet - cuz almost no projectors have airplay by default!

Thank you Chuubie. Your nick sounds so cute, so chubbie !

[@gledsonr30]

have two ones along with Sonos Arc and Sonos mini sub. For me, this configuration is great, as the sound quality is very good. I think it only makes sense to replace my Sonos One's if I'm going to purchase the Era 300, because between the era100 and One, the sound quality is very identical, perhaps it's only possible to see the difference if you put the two working side by side, but in real world it's not worth the upgrade, unless you don't have the Sonos one, in which case I'd buy the Sonos era 100.

[@jamestaleporos9794]

Not true

[@coolsiwales]

I have the arc full size Sub and 2 x ones.... great sound.

[@soryngas8259]

hello, what do you recommend for the Sonos one Sl Gen 2 or Sonos era 100 speaker? thank you!

[@rosco2025]

Great Video Mr Engadget! I Learnt Heaps 🧠💡! Going To Sell My Sonos One And Upgrading. Cheers From New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@rob1261a]

Thanks for the video. I just got 2 Sonos One’s for $220 in Excellent condition from eBay. I don’t like the cable thing. They could have easily put an Ethernet and Line In on the Era 100.

[@7476318]

Great video, but your hair is even better. Thats a great head of hair my dude.

[@daisytran6471]

lolz

[@ourpromiseland2000]

Nice video! Can you use the same stand for both speakers(Era and One)?

[@coolsiwales]

Oh...yes I need to know this lol

[@Erik78gm]

Thanks

[@MrPhinn1]

So can buy 2 100s for stereo pairing?

[@fishfinners]

Yes

[@MrPhinn1]

@@fishfinners Right on. Thanks.

[@BrettBrett1299]

Thanks for sharing!

[@niklasbengtsson7756]

The big question is: If I have several sonos one sl and I want to add some more speakers to my system, do I get era 100s or more ones? I can get a very good deal on 2 sonos ones, both for 2/3 of the price of one era 100. I do think the sound is good enough in my ones, and I'm worried it will differ too much if I start adding different speakers. Thoughts?

[@mrgold3591]

I have two Sonos One SLs (with Beam+Sub Gen 3) and four Symfonisk bookshelf speakers (two stand alone, two with Beam+Sub Gen 3). The Symfonisk speakers are extremely close to the One SLs in sound quality for a much cheaper price. The advantage with the One SLs or Era 100 is they look a little better, easier to place because of their small footprint, and Trueplay with the built-in mic. I will probably stick with my current speakers until Sonos stop supporting them.

[@larslindemann3526]

I‘m selling my 6 ones right now - updating them with stereopairs of era 100 and 300. In future it‘ll be more difficult to sell them, I guess…

[@marinoint]

Hope Sonos will develop a home theater set using four Era 300. I don't like sound bars.

[@CaptainUncomfortable]

I've had a sonos beam since it came out and its been exceptional! I'm finally going to get a pair of the rears for surround sound. Did you buy either of these?

[@edwardflorentine2094]

Does it work for Surround with a beam?

[@gregsmartt1215]

Do you think they'll make an era-100 sl?

[@MrZACATECANO100]

Just switch mic off in the meantime

[@innocentrage1]

I bought the whole Sonos surround system with all the bells and whistles, and now just watch king of the hill and beavis and butthead, lol no surround there

[@You-sw7tm]

Hank Hill: "BWAAAAAH!!!"

[@BigIdeaSeeker]

Someone get this guy more wine! ;)

[@ajtuck93]

What’s changed is they don’t support google assistant. Just got a two pack and it’s about to go back.

[@KrishnaSingh-ow1ie]

They have a contract dispute with Google. You should get the jbl 300authentic

[@sambarendsma8584]

the one does look better imo.

[@nmop3pisdn554]

What sucks is that if you have wall mounted sonos ones, you can't mount sonos era 100 on them

[@markusberg]

Fyi, the Sonos One also has forwards and backwards functionality by swiping right or left across all three touch buttons. The discrete buttons of the Era 100 is better, of course, but still...

[@1daves]

No stereo separation!! WTF

[@DragosVingarzan]

Is it really different though? You get Bluetooth but lose the free ethernet… meh, feels more like a small version bump.

[@hoskyseriousinvestor]

No Google assistant 🎉🎉🎉

[@ultimativo]

Attention: The sound of the Era 100 is worse than the sound of the old One´s. This Upgrade is disappointing. Also permanent disconnection

[@soprano7088]

Bullshit

[@liquid79]

Attention: you're a goofball! How's it worse with a 25% larger woofer and two tweeters instead of one.

[@antigravity6]

Our family uses Android and Google home. Thumbs down Sonos

[@GizmoMaltese]

I bought the early Sonos and the software was so bad I would never buy one again.

[@mrgold3591]

Strange thing to say when early tech versions of pretty much everything is better later compared to version 1 from cell phones, TVs, wi-fi, computers, world wide web, cars, computer software, etc...

[@mattmcgehee2312]

Strange thing to say on a product comparison of said company you would never buy again.

[@GizmoMaltese]

@@mattmcgehee2312 Not really, if you spent $600 on a product and it was horrible why would you want to buy from them again?

[@user-tr9ld8qb4i]

Strange thing to say, Tardigrades are microscopic, water-dwelling animals with a barrel-shaped body and four pairs of legs. They are famous for their remarkable ability to survive extreme conditions, such as very low and high temperatures, a vacuum, extreme pressure, and radiation.

This is biased i mean advirtesment

[@Vacardi]

Man... I thought this guy was comparing toilet paper. 🧻 Vs 🧻....

[@sergey4162]

You’re absolutely right, he’s just compared toilet paper (One) with paper towel roll (Era)
