Sonos Era 100 Bluetooth and WiFi Speaker Drops to Record Low Price, Amazon Offloads Last Units Before Christmas - Kotaku

"The Era 100 is Sonos's small smart speaker for rooms where full-sized speakers are too big and it's now $169 on Amazon, down from its original price of $199. This is the lowest price ever just before Christmas which makes it a great gift for music lovers who value good sound quality over flashy features."

"The Era 100 has WiFi streaming, Bluetooth connectivity, and Trueplay room correction all in one small package that can fit on a kitchen counter or nightstand. It also has stereo separation that most single-unit speakers can't match which makes it the perfect way to get started with Sonos or a useful addition to an existing multi-room setup."

"Sonos designed the Era 100 with t wo tweeters that point outward to create real left and right channel separation in one box which makes music sound wider and more open than regular mono speakers. The two tweeters in this design let you hear instruments spread out across a soundstage instead of all coming from one point in space. The new Sonos speakers have a processor that is 47% faster than the old ones and lets them process audio more accurately, even at high volumes, so they don't distort like other speakers do when they are pushed too hard. The midwoofer is 25% bigger and handles bass frequencies with authority, and gives you a low-end punch that you can feel in your chest without needing a separate subwoofer for most types of music."

The Sonos Era 100 is a compact smart speaker intended for rooms where full-sized speakers are impractical. The current price is $169, reduced from $199. The speaker offers WiFi streaming, Bluetooth connectivity, and Trueplay room correction to optimize performance for a given room. Dual outward-facing tweeters provide genuine left-right channel separation and a wider soundstage than typical mono speakers. A faster processor improves audio processing and reduces distortion at high volumes, while a 25% larger midwoofer delivers authoritative bass that often removes the need for a separate subwoofer. The unit integrates easily into multi-room Sonos setups or works well solo.
