The addition of true stereo sound, Bluetooth, and enhanced repairability make this wireless speaker a worthy successor to the Sonos One.
My overall impression after many listening sessions cycling through pop, rock, R&B, jazz, and classical—which can be fed from dozens and dozens of services through the Sonos app, or via Apple AirPlay 2 and Spotify Connect—is that this is an incredibly musical speaker. What I mean by that is music always sounded natural and free from any artificial boosting of the bass or treble that can be used to hide deficiencies in lesser audio hardware.
“Sundown” by Gordon Lightfoot sounded superb, and I could pick out the song’s bass from the subtle kick drum despite them occupying similar parts of the frequency spectrum. Similarly, the background vocals on The Zombies’ “Beechwood Park” never got lost under Colin Blunstone’s lead. Jumping ahead nearly half a century to Norah Jones’ “Good Morning,” the sublime opener on 2012’s, the Era 100 did a great job at showcasing every element of the track while creating a wonderfully wide soundstage.
