Currently, a bundle deal of two Sonos Era 100 wireless smart speakers is available on Woot at an impressive price. The two speakers are retailing for $410, giving you a $88 difference from their regular price. This lower price is comparable to Black Friday deals from last year, when the Sonos Era 100 could be bought individually for $199. If upgrading your home audio system with versatile mid-range speakers is your plan, the Sonos Era 100 serves as a solid choice. On top of that, an 18 percent discount makes the deal all the more appealing.
Last year saw the introduction of the Sonos Era 100, designed as a successor to the Sonos One. Noteworthy features include two tweeters and a bigger woofer, providing improved sound quality. In terms of smart speakers in the similar budget range, the Era 100 is our top recommendation owing to its exceptional sound quality and features like the Trueplay tuning. What makes this capability especially noteworthy is the use of built-in microphones for self-tuning to achieve optimal output relative to its location.
Moreover, the Era 100 comes with an option to connect a device manually via its USB-C port. While for certain devices, such as turntables, this might necessitate the use of an adapter, the availability of a line-in option more than makes up for it. However, it’s worth noting that those hoping for Google Assistant compatibility may be disappointed. The Era 100, while suited for Alexa users, doesn’t support Google’s voice assistant.
The Sonos Era 100 is a perfect fit for multi-room audio or a home theater setup. It pairs nicely with a soundbar for an enhanced listening experience. Lastly, compared to its predecessor – the Sonos One – it offers better on-device controls and even includes a physical switch to turn off the microphone.
