Speakers

Era 100

Sonos · £179

A compact black smart speaker, taller than it is wide.

Worth being NRY provisional

The speaker Sonos expect you to buy first, and the one that makes the rest of the system worth having: add a second and you have stereo, add more and you have the house. At £179 it is the cheapest thing here and the only one whose value goes up as you buy more of them. Line-in is back on this generation, which the Sonos One it replaces did not have.

For
Someone starting a multi-room system, or wanting one good speaker in a kitchen.
Not for
Anyone who wants one speaker to be the whole hi-fi, which this is not pretending to be.

What we checked

  • It follows the Sonos One and is designed for use across the range. Richer Sounds

Marked provisional: the justification rests on 1 source(s); two independent ones is the bar. We publish it anyway and say so, rather than waiting for evidence that may never arrive.
