In-Depth Review
The Sonos Era 100 is the smart speaker for people who refuse to be locked into one ecosystem. It works with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri (via AirPlay 2), and integrates with Sonos' legendary multi-room audio platform. The audio quality is outstanding — stereo drivers, a redesigned tweeter array, and Sonos' TruePlay automatic tuning deliver room-filling sound that rivals dedicated hi-fi bookshelf speakers. The USB-C line-in is a welcome addition for vinyl and legacy audio sources. If you want the best-sounding smart speaker that works with any platform, the Era 100 is it.
