Are Sonos Era 100 good for surround sound? ›

Sonos products that can be used as surround speakers

The Sonos Era 100 is a wired-only speaker that's better for in-home use than the Sonos Move 2. The Era 100 has a better low-frequency extension, which is ideal for bass reproduction.

Yes. For an even wider soundstage, you can stereo pair two Era 100 speakers in the same room. These can also be used as rear speakers for surround sound with Arc, Beam (any generation), or Ray. Era 100 will not pair with Sonos One, One SL, or Play:1.

Under the Arc's settings in the Sonos app, go to Surround Audio and adjust the TV and Music Level settings. It is also usually recommended to set Music Playback to FULL. Also, if you want to get the most out of your surround speakers, try to play 5.1 audio sources rather than stereo sources.

Side-by-Side Comparison

The Sonos Era 100 is a better speaker than the JBL Authentics 200. They're both wired-only home speakers with built-in voice assistant support. However, the Sonos has a more balanced sound out of the box, which some users may prefer.

Our Verdict. The Sonos Era 300 is better than the Sonos Era 100. The 300 is a larger speaker with additional features, including Dolby Atmos support, which is great if you want to listen to Dolby Atmos music.

The Era 100 is more powerful than the Sonos One, too, and can pair with the Sonos Arc, Ray and Beam Gen 1 and Gen 2 soundbars to work as part of a home cinema set-up. You can also pair two Era 100 speakers to work as a stereo pair, though you can do this with two Sonos Ones too.

Your home theater product, and products you want to use as surrounds, must already be added to your Sonos system as separate rooms.

While 5.1 and 7.1 surround sound systems usually require as many speakers placed around the room as channels, Sonos innovation delivers the same immersive surround sound experience with less hardware.
