I agree wholeheartedly that Peter Pee's channel for Sonos products is so in depth in that once you watch his videos, you can never go back watching those hundreds of other youtubers reviews that practically read off a spec sheet, give limited actual reviewing and leave you still asking questions. Many people do unboxing video that really is a waste of time, while Peter Pee gets straight to the points, he values his viewers time and by the end of his videos most of the time you know exactly what you want to know.

​@Peter Pee thanks for you vids. very informative. i currently own a Bose surround sound system and have been intrigued and tempted to purchase my first sonos system. Open question to the group, If i want to buy the Era 300 as a home theatre system, would you recommend first buying the Arc soundbar? Also, i have the portable Xgimi projector, could i use x2 Era 300's and connect via Bluetooth?

@PeterPee

Hi Peter. I have found that with the ERA 300 I no longer have a lateral lack of sound in surround mode and that the sound now really goes around me, i.e. without the lateral sound gaps. I am very enthusiastic about the ERA 300 and they harmonize perfectly with the ARC and the Sub gen 3. The surround experience is phenomenal. Anyone who can afford it financially should definitely buy the ERA 300. The sound difference to the One and the vife is amazing. As always, a very good video from you, and I'm looking forward to more from you about the ERA 300.👍👍

@@heibaimao Hello In my room (living room) the change to the one SL's is enormous I had a lateral hole in the sound / sound before, which is no longer there. It doesn't matter where I'm standing in the room, it's as if a loudspeaker is playing the sounds there. Our children and friends noticed this immediately. So far 3 people in our friendship have bought the Arc with the Sub gen 3 and now the Era 300 after watching movies and listening to music with us. It always depends on the room, but with the measurement according to Peter's presented style paired with mine, the sound here is overwhelming for us. I still stay a little away from the ARC when measuring and stand with my back to it when measuring. I also set up small stools to get as close to the ceiling as possible, in the direction of the height speakers for Atmos. Actually, the mobile phone is then almost on the ceiling with the microphone pointing upwards. All background noises such as PC are silenced, windows and doors are closed and neither a television nor the washing machine or anything else is running in the house that could affect the measurement. The sound is outstanding for us and a 100% enrichment.

I appreciate your work. I like that your style isn’t fanboy orientated - where everything is just unbeatable because it’s Sonos. Keep up your hard work Peter.

Superb info as always and the best (only) place to see quality frequency response comparisons of Sonos gear.

Amazing review, no surprise! Totally agree about the Era 300’s being best geared for music. When I first played a Spatial Audio track on one Era 300, I actually thought I mistakenly had another one of my sonos speakers synced and playing at the time. It was unlike anything I had ever heard!

I really wish people would understand that the ERA300 is primarily designed to shine as a rear surround in your home theater setup, and the Sonos Five is still the premier product for music enjoyment. So many posts on Reddit asking if they need get rid of their Fives for ERA300, and the answer is NO! And the argument that more music is being released now that takes advantage of Atmos and Spatial channels, does not change this fact. All that means is that your theater setup will sound better when it's streaming music content than it currently does. For a stereo pair setup for music streaming only, the best option is going to be the ERA100 or the Sonos Fives.

Sorry I disagree that spacial audio /Dolby atmos music is for home theatre setups only, it is mainly able to be decoded by home cinema. I think the era 300 as a stereo pair would be interesting to hear how much they can add to the music. Iv been quite impressed with atmos music via my 7.2.2 AVR. It has also been aimed at headphone listening too however in this case I find vocals to diffused.

Whilst I agree Sonos Fives is better for music, I completely disagree that the Era 300 was “designed” specifically for rear surrounds. The marketing material does not support that claim. Sonos is marketing this at more than 50% as a music speaker, rear surrounds are less than half of the focus for this device.

These era 300 rears (as one sl replacements) make the arc/sub come to life! Surround sound is everywhere and let's the arc become the star of the show in the center. What a trio!

Good stuff! I preordered the era 300s to replace my 5s for the home theater set up and so I’m excited

For anyone interested here are my first impressions using a pair of Era300’s and Era100’s… The Era300’s are an easy sell for me if you are going to use them in a Sonos Home Theatre configuration. My immediate reaction to replacing Play5 rear speakers with Era300’s was how much better integrated they sound with the ARC sound bar. I come from a high end HiFi and cinema background but love Sonos for their fun club like room solutions and convenience around the home without speaker wires. Sound bars always sound like the sound is coming at me horizontally. Due to their design and often low down placement they never sound great to me for music. However with the Era300’s as rears it feels like the Sonos cinema sound stage is more cohesive front to back of the room. In this scenario the more horizontal 3D soundstage doesn’t bother me as it’s more like a well integrated 360 experience. Play Ed Sheeran’s ATMOS recordings and the sound stage is far better integrated than using Play5’s in a cinema configuration. It makes me feel like the Era300’s are what was missing from the Sonos home cinema package since the ARC was first released. Era300’s just compliment the ARC so much better than the Play5’s. To my ears they are the first truly well integrated rear speakers for Sonos home theatre. If I listen to the Era300’s as a stereo pair by themselves, then I am again hearing a more horizontal 3D sound stage a bit like turning the Play5’s horizontally instead of a more HiFi like soundstage when you listen to the Play5’s positioned vertically. So this is why some people may not like listening to Era300’s for music only. It’s not stereo HiFi, it’s just different. You’ll either like to get used to it or you won’t. Personally I am not a fan of the Era300’s in a stereo pair. I (currently at least) prefer a traditional stereo soundstage from a quality HiFi setup. But I think they are very good paired with the ARC in cinema configuration. IMO the Era100’s are NOT an upgrade from the One speaker. They are just different and depending on the environment you place them in, your preference to listen to Era100’s or One’s may differ. I had no wow factor comparing a stereo pair of Era100’s with a pair of One’s. It’s not like the sound stage was considerably deeper or more natural, which I was disappointed with for a slightly larger speaker/driver design. I expect a pair of “Move” speakers in stereo mode, will blow the Era100’s away. I can hear the Era100’s are a little richer than One’s because their sound profile is not as scooped. There is a richer midrange, but that may or may not be preferred by you, because the soundstage can be thicker to it’s detriment. For example when I tested in an open plan kitchen/diner, I thought ok I hear a difference but it’s not “better” as such, it’s just slightly different and not worth replacing One’s for in my opinion. Then I compared the Era100’s and One’s in my bedroom where the Era100’s thicker midrange was not as relaxing to listen to in that smaller space, despite my bedroom still being a decent size. It’s not a box room by any means. I used Advanced TruePlay during these listening tests and tried adjusting EQ, but I still preferred the sound signature of the One’s in my bedroom. So I think the more scooped sound profile in the One’s works better in smaller spaces where you want to reduce any bloated/flubby bass. The Era100’s are arguably preferable in a larger space due to the richer midrange. It’s not really HiFi rich to me, which means it can thicken in a marginal muddy manner. At no point did I feel a wow factor like I did swapping out Play5’s for Era300’s in a cinema configuration. I suspect in time there will be a group of customers who prefer the traditional One’s to the new Era100’s and there will remain a good market for the One’s because their sound profile turns out to be more desirable to some people in smaller environment use cases. Have fun testing for yourselves and finding your own preferences within your own homes. Cheers everyone.
