Sonos Era 300 | Spatial Audio Smart Speaker with WiFi, Bluetooth, Amazon Alexa, Dolby Atmos - Black

Sound is astonishing and setup is so easy if you have an iphone. Built quality is amazing and it packs a punch. Its not overly crazy on bass which i like. Watched dune with it and i was blown away. If this is in your budget it is a must buy for enthusiasts

I must say that I am througly impressed by Sonos Era 300. It's super powerful. Music comes out in a pure form. It's a new way to experience your favorite artists and albums. Keep in mind that for spatial experience you will need Apple Music subscription and have to play Dolby tracks. But even if you don't have an apple subscription or even plan normal stereo music via any app the sound is still superior. Its built is strong, was easy to connect. Had no issues with the seller nor delivery. Cons: 1. It's not portable. As in it needs power and you cant use it outdoors. 2. It needs a wifi connection to set up, after that you can use Bluetooth. 3. Do note that if you want the highest quality, you will have to play songs via WiFi. (Yes this speaker plays via Bluetooth and even wifi.) And when you are playing music via wifi you will have to use their app Sonos on which you can connect any streaming app. It will take sometime to get used to the sonos app. Buy this if you want a HiFi Audiophile Spatial experience. I will be buying another one in few months so I can use both for multiple channel Dolby & streo experience. Even though one speaker enough I wonder what two will do. If you have lots of money in your bank, you can consider its sub-woofer too. If you are skeptical, go to Croma Or Reliance Digital and hear it to make the final call.

Great product. Sound quality is top notch

The Sonos Era 300 tries to impress with a captivating audio experience with its Dolby Atmos capabilities, and for the most part, it delivers. Here's a breakdown of my experience: What I Loved: * Sound Depth: The Era 300 shines in its ability to create a rich, immersive soundscape. The depth and clarity are impressive, making music and movies come alive. If you come from surround speaker setup, you may be disappointed, but for starters this does a decent job. * Dolby Atmos (When it Works): While limited in online stream support in India, experiencing Dolby Atmos on the Era 300 is near perfect. The spatial audio effect adds a new dimension to supported content, especially in smaller rooms. Adjust the height component from the app if needed (it also has 3 band Equalizer support). * Versatile Connectivity: Having Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and AirPlay provides flexibility, though the wired connection using a proprietary cable is a minor drawback. * Intuitive App Control: The Sonos app is a central hub for controlling most features, including EQ and Atmos height adjustment, making customization a breeze. * On-Device Controls: Having volume and playback controls on the speaker itself is a welcome addition for quick adjustments. * Extensive Music Service Integration: Direct playback from popular services like Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Music, and YouTube Music within the Sonos app is incredibly convenient. * Sonos Radio: The built-in Sonos Radio offers a vast selection of stations, perfect for discovering new music. * Wi-Fi Streaming Independence: Once a stream starts from a source like Apple Music, the ability to take my phone off Wi-Fi without interrupting playback is a fantastic feature. What Could Be Improved: * Wi-Fi Setup Woes: The initial Wi-Fi setup was unexpectedly frustrating. If you use mobile hotspot then it may be even more challenging. Despite supporting both 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands, it stubbornly favored the 2.4 GHz band, impacting potential performance. It seems to have a mind of its own when connecting to Wi-Fi esp. if mobile hotspot is used. * Limited Dolby Atmos Support: The biggest disappointment is the limited Dolby Atmos support in India. Currently, only Apple Music offers Atmos tracks, restricting the speaker's full potential. * Bluetooth Dependency on Wi-Fi: Requiring Wi-Fi setup before using Bluetooth seems unnecessary and adds an extra layer of complexity. * No Chromecast Support: The absence of Chromecast support is a notable omission for Android users. Dolby Atmos Observations: The effectiveness of Dolby Atmos on a single speaker is subjective. Placement is crucial, and in my 10x16 feet room, the effect was noticeable. However, it may not be as pronounced in larger spaces or with different room layouts. Important Note for Indian Users: As of now, Apple Music is the sole provider of Dolby Atmos tracks in India, requiring a subscription to unlock the Era 300's full potential. Final Verdict: The Sonos Era 300 is a powerful wireless speaker with impressive sound quality and Dolby Atmos capabilities. However, the limited Atmos support in India, Wi-Fi setup challenges, and lack of Chromecast are drawbacks to consider. If you primarily use Apple Music and prioritize immersive audio, the Era 300 is a strong contender. However, those reliant on other music services or seeking wider Atmos support might want to explore alternatives. It does not have battery, so not a portable one. One ⭐ off for unstable Wi-Fi connectivity, lack of Chromecast and a non-standard cable for wired connection.

Very good , bring music alive with each beat .

Not worth for money Again we have to buy aux connector for rs 4500,Sounds good for a small bed room My price for this product is 7000-8000 only. My sound bar worth 6000 is better than this era 300

I have researched this sound system for very long ! And what I got is more than that. The soundstage is very expensive . Room filling audio immersion and sound mapping (truplay tunning ) is truly objective. But I feel a sub-mini (SONOS) will make it a perfect bundle. But one thing u can only be experienced by playing sound thru Sonos app . If you play music with Bluetooth or airplay it will also be immersive but not as mush as Dolby atmos(work only with Sonos app) . Trust me you will fall in love with it with in two days of playing your music .

Crystal clear sound. Even on increased volume the sound doesnt feel loud but clear. Sonos app works fine for lossless effect over wifi. Carnatic music sounds too good to be true in this music system. My favourite one so far.
