What reviewers say
Reviewers agree it sounds the same as the Era 100, precise and detailed, for less money, and see it as a good way into a Sonos system. TechRadar notes the missing voice control, weak stereo from a single speaker and no room correction for Android users; SoundGuys finds it less suited to use on its own, given the Wi-Fi app setup.
