You don’t buy a speaker only to look at it, of course not. Yet, if your eyes happen to wander to your speaker while you’re listening to it, you should preferably not cringe at the sight of it.
Because Era 300, the newest Sonos wireless speaker and the company’s first attempt at spatial audio, performs so impressively and expertly, it’s a good thing because its outward design is simple to ignore.
Unless you happen to see it unexpectedly in your field of vision, in which case it is always stunning. Nevertheless, with the Era 300 and the smaller, more cheap Era 100 stereo speaker that debuted at the same time, Sonos has maintained all of its previous strengths and added audio performance that can compete with any product of a similar size and price.
