Our Take
The Sonos Era 300 is a premium spatial audio speaker designed primarily for Apple Music and Amazon Music Unlimited subscribers who want Dolby Atmos music playback at home. It sits at the top of Sonos's standalone speaker range, bundled here with dedicated Sanus floor stands for optimised placement in a living room or dedicated listening space.
Key Features
Six drivers including upward- and side-firing tweeters specifically designed for Dolby Atmos spatial audio
Supports Apple AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, and line-in via USB-C adapter (sold separately)
Functions as a rear surround speaker when paired with a Sonos Arc or Beam soundbar
Built-in Trueplay tuning uses the microphone array to automatically calibrate sound to your room's acoustics
Sanus WSSE32-B2 stands are purpose-built for the Era 300's angled form factor, with cable management integrated into the post
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity; Bluetooth allows playback without a network
Our Verdict
Buy this if you subscribe to an Atmos music service, already own Sonos kit, and want a genuinely immersive listening experience with a clean floor-standing setup. If you don't stream spatial audio regularly, or you're new to the Sonos ecosystem, alternatives at this price point will likely serve you better.
