The well-regarded Sonos Era 100 speaker is on sale for $179 as part of the Amazon Prime Day festivities. This is a discount of around $40, as the typical price is $219. The deal is available for both the black and white colorways.
We reviewed the Era 100 and came away impressed, saying that it provides “affordable multi-room audio that actually sounds good.” This model replaced the Sonos One speaker and it’s an improvement on that design in every major way. The sound quality is great and it gets plenty loud for get-togethers and the like.
The design is simple and attractive and there’s both Bluetooth and line-in support. It includes built-in mics for Trueplay tuning and works with just about every music streaming service. It’s a good little speaker.
While it’s easy to recommend this unit, there are a couple of little caveats. It doesn’t offer voice support for Google Assistant, though it does integrate with Alexa and the company’s proprietary voice assistant. Also, this is a single speaker so there’s no real stereo separation.
The company is also discounting the Beam 2 soundbar from $463 all the way down to $370. That’s a savings of nearly $100.
