Sonos Era 100 SL Review: A New Era Of Affordability - BGR
- The Sonos Era 100 SL is a budget-friendly option at $189, aimed at drawing new customers to Sonos technology.
- Key tradeoff: Era 100 SL lacks microphones, voice control, and Trueplay tuning to save cost.
- Design and build stay familiar, with round form and 360-degree acoustic grilles in black or white.
- The Era 100 SL supports Bluetooth and AirPlay 2 for versatile playback options.
- App experience remains a weak point, with a laggy UI and less reliable search vs. competitors.
- Audio performance is solid, with strong bass and clear vocals, especially at moderate volumes.
- The Era 100 SL remains a compatible option for stereo pairs and home theater setups.
- Powering requires constant wall plug connection, unlike some portable competitors.
- No Dolby Atmos, water or dust resistance, and limited EQ options.
- Recommendation hinges on voice-control importance and willingness to trade features for price.
