The Era 100 is the small white speaker on our all-white desk. Inside, two angled tweeters and one midwoofer, each driven by its own class-D amplifier, give real stereo from a single box.
It streams over Wi-Fi with AirPlay 2 and the Sonos app, pairs over Bluetooth 5.3 at the press of a button, and accepts a wired source through the USB-C port with Sonos's line-in adapter (sold separately). It can join other Sonos speakers for multi-room audio, and a hardware switch turns off the mic.
Where it sits in real desks, and why it earned its place there.
Why it is here
Stereo sound from one compact white speaker, with AirPlay 2 from the Mac and Bluetooth from a phone. It takes less room than a pair, and it can join a Sonos system elsewhere in the home.
