Worth Buying: Sonos Era 100 Smart Speaker — A 25% Bigger Woofer Than the One, Filling the Room From a Bookshelf! $289 CAD

Amazon.ca has the Sonos Era 100 in black for $289 CAD, which is also Sonos's list price — this one rarely discounts, and it isn't discounted now. Prime members ship free; otherwise orders over $35 do.

The Era 100 is the One's replacement: two angled tweeters for left/right separation, a woofer 25% larger than the One's, a processor 47% faster, plus a co-neural processor handling real-time tuning. Practically, vocals and bass stay separated at volume instead of smearing together. You get WiFi, Bluetooth and 3.5mm line-in, so a turntable plugs straight in, and Trueplay tunes it to the room from your phone in a couple of minutes.

It sits at 4.5 stars across 2,704 ratings, #6 in Smart Speakers and #20 in Home Audio Speakers — the safest pick in the Sonos lineup.

What owners actually report: a pair in stereo noticeably widens the stage; it disappears onto a kitchen counter, bookshelf or nightstand; multi-room sync is tight enough that music follows you from room to room. The trade-offs are real too — there's no ethernet port, so wired networking means Sonos's USB-C adapter (one reviewer got a third-party adapter working); the Sonos app has had its rough patches, though Spotify Connect sidesteps most of it; and the mic can be switched off physically at the back if you don't want a voice assistant listening.

Straight answer: this isn't an audiophile speaker for critical listening. As a "press play and the whole family can use it" system, $289 buys you the absence of fiddling. If you're building rear surrounds, the mic-less Era 100 SL is the better fit.
