While the stereo rendition did not offer great wideness, it was still a plus point over monophonic options. Dynamics performance was solid across the board, with sharp attack, precise bass and good punch for the speaker’s small dimensions. Bass was clean and had a nice roundness to it, and midrange offered pleasant warmth as well.

It consistently offered a pleasant tonal balance at all volume levels and adapted nicely to any room, even with demanding acoustics. In our DXOMARK Speaker test, the Sonos Era 100 proved to be a well-rounded option and delivered great performance across all use cases. Bass can sound slightly compressed at high volume.

Severe notch at around 3.2 kHz induces a lack of clarity.
