With next-level audio that hits from every direction, Era 300 doesn’t just surround you, it puts you inside your music. Feel more connected to all your audio content with phenomenally clear and spacious sound.

  • Stream from all your favourite services and devices with WiFi and Bluetooth®.
  • Connect a turntable or other audio source using an auxiliary cable and the Sonos Line-In Adapter
  • Experience mind-bendingly realistic surround sound when you pair two Era 300 speakers with Arc and stream spatial audio with Dolby Atmos
  • Set up is easy, and control is even easier with the Sonos app, next-generation touch controls, and your voice

Take your spatial audio experience above and beyond
Featuring six optimally positioned drivers all around the front, sides, and top to support Dolby Atmos Music, the breakthrough acoustic design projects sound from wall to wall and floor to ceiling, immersing you in every dimension of the song.

Make the whole room the sweet spot
No matter where you are or what you play, the listening experience is nothing short of extraordinary. Custom waveguides accurately disperse sound right, left, forward, and above, creating a sensationally spacious stereo soundstage you can feel all around the room.

An acoustic and aesthetic masterpiece
The first-of-its-kind design exquisitely balances sonic performance and visual appeal, precisely angling each driver while looking worthy of display.

Tunes itself for you
With a tap in the Sonos app, Trueplay™ tuning technology analyses the unique acoustics of your space and optimises the speaker’s EQ. So all your content sounds just the way it should.
