Product Description

Review: Sounds Fantastic but tricky set up for Laptop use (tips in review) - definitely worth it!! - I had been researching a high-end wireless speaker for some time and the Sonos Era 100 had consistently good reviews, so after much deliberation I took the plunge - and it is definitely worth it, as the sound is excellent - more on that later, but the setup for using through a laptop is a bit tricky as it's not explained very well (indeed, AT ALL!!) in the box instructions - so here's a few tips: 1. The Era 100 is ENTIRELY set up through the mobile phone app (even if you plan on using it exclusively through your laptop) - you NEED to set it up through the phone app (android or apple), even if you will never, ever play music from your phone through it. This is a glaring omission from the box instructions!!! 2. The Sonos app you download to your laptop, is essentially an interface to play music - thats it. It has NOTHING to do with the set up. This is not at all made clear out the box, and I ended up having to contact their online chat to establish this! 3. The Sonos connects by default to your wi-fi rather than Bluetooth, and this is normal - wi-fi gives you a much more stable connection, and wider bandwidth for playing lossless or higher bitrate music (such as Dolby Atmos). You can also connect via Bluetooth, if you really wanted to - but Wi-fi is the way ahead here for laptop usage. 4. You can connect desertcart Music - again using the phone to do so - open the App, and go to "Your Services", then add desertcart Music. You'll need to login to desertcart Music via the setup, but only need to do this once. Once you have added desertcart Music to the Sonos App, this will let you play desertcart Music through your speaker - but to activate voice control, there's a further step required: 5. For "Alexa" voice control - Go to the Sonos app (on your phone) again, and click on the gear symbol at the very top right. Then click on General Settings, then click on Voice assistants - add voice assistant "desertcart Alexa" (you'll need to login to desertcart again to add it) After doing this, you will have connected desertcart Music, and desertcart Alexa (voice commands) to your Sonos speaker, and it will work exactly the same as an Alexa speaker - IE, say "Alexa - play (song name)" and it will play on the speaker. 6. The Sonos App for your laptop will need to be downloaded, and will have an Orange tile - and it's essentially just a different interface to look at/play your music lists via Sonos. Think of it a bit like the desertcart Music Web version, but with a Sonos coat on - it works in exactly the same way, but via the Sonos desktop app (playing the web desertcart Music desktop app "through" the Sonos desktop app if you like) ------------------------------------ If the necessity to use the phone for set up had been made clear out the box, the setup would actually be fairly straightforward - but as it isn't, the above steps took me about an hour and a half to get/understand from Sonos live chat, so hopefully this is of some help and saves you some pain!! All setup faffing aside, now on to the audio and unit review itself: The unit comes in a premium box, and immediately looks expensive and good quality - it's quite heavy (in a good way), and looks very well built and solid - it absolutely does not look plasticky or cheap, it screams quality and substance literally as soon as you take it out the box - brilliant first impression. Setup - a bit faffy, but not ridiculous - better and clearer instructions would make a huge difference as noted above!! Sound quality - really, REALLY good. Very full robust sound, with clear definition of all sections. Lovely bass (not too much, not too little - just goldilocks perfect), midrange/vocals clear and crisp across a wide range of music styles and types. Treble/highs are similarly nice and crisp - not too bright or tinny, and everything just gels together really well and gives a very balanced and nuanced sound across the board - a really first class audio experience for a speaker of this size, and a non-wired speaker at that. The many, many reviews I read on this speaker very much live up to the great performance stated in my own personal experience. The Sonos desktop app (which remember is basically just a means to play desertcart music with a different interface) has a very basic Equaliser - standard bass and treble (no mid-range slider, surprisingly) which was a bit surprising given such a good sounding speaker - I personally would have like a bit more control here, but it's not a deal breaker or a star-dropper on the review. It also has a "Loudness" button that you can tick on or off (sounds better with it on) but as far as fine tuning your EQ's goes, that's it. In summary, this is a brilliant sounding speaker for it's type and price range, I'm seriously impressed with the rounded and balanced sound out of it, like really! Clear, defined, punchy and separated - quite incredible for a speaker this size that is not hard wired into an amp via speaker cables. It honestly sounds like a bi-wired speaker, and yet is connected via wi-fi which is head shakingly amazing. I bought mine for a small study and it can fill that space without breaking sweat - and I'm talking quality and depth of sound here - not volume (although volume wouldn't be an issue in the slightest). I will only need one speaker for the small room I have, but pairing this speaker with another one would just enhance the sound yet further so I might look into that - but that would be an absolute indulgence, and not in any way required as just one speaker sounds terrific on it's own. I bought a separate desktop stand for mine, just to elevate it slightly for maximum sound enhancement, but it is not essential by any means - very much personal taste. The stand I got (from desertcart) was £25 quid - there's a couple to choose from if you wanted a stand too. As I finish writing this review, "Behind Blue Eyes" by The Who has come on my playlist, and it sounds just superb on this speaker, Daltry's voice and Townshend's guitars just shining with clarity and depth!! This is after using the speaker for just a couple of hours - like all decent audio kit and especially speakers, they take a bit of time and use to "bed-in" so will only get better over time - and it sounds great right out the box, so will only improve yet further after a few more hours use and bedding in. £200 quid for a speaker is a punt - but it's well worth it for the Sonos Era 100 - if you are considering this and concerned whether the cost is worth it - don't be. Don't be AT ALL - it's sound blooming fantastic, I'm chuffed to bits with mine.
Review: Very good sound for the size - Bought this to replace an older speaker and I’m really impressed with it. The sound is much better than I expected for something this size. It’s clear, has decent bass without being over the top, and fills a room easily. I mainly use it for everyday listening and it’s been spot on for that. Setup was straightforward through the app and it’s been reliable since. It works well with desertcart Music and Alexa, which was one of the reasons I went for it. Voice control has been responsive and handy for quick things like changing tracks or volume. It feels solid and well made, and it looks neat without drawing too much attention to itself. Not cheap, but you can hear where the money’s gone. If you’re after a compact speaker with proper sound and easy integration with desertcart services, this does the job well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good sound for the size

It’s clear, has decent bass without being over the top, and fills a room easily. I mainly use it for everyday listening and it’s been spot on for that.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Small Speaker, Serious Sound
*by A***D on 21 February 2026*

I had been pretty disappointed with Bose and could not find a soundbar that really delivered what I wanted, so I took a punt on the Sonos Era 100. Glad I did. For a relatively compact speaker, this thing seriously packs a punch. The sound is rich and full, with proper depth rather than that thin, hollow feel I had been getting elsewhere. Bass is strong without being over the top, and vocals are clear. In this price range, it is hard to argue with how well it performs. The Sonos app is straightforward and links easily to the usual music streaming apps, so setup was painless. Volume is more than enough for everyday listening and it fills the room nicely. The voice assistant is a nice touch too, especially being voiced by Giancarlo Esposito, which gives it a bit of character. I am now genuinely considering building out the Sonos ecosystem to improve both the TV setup and general music listening. That probably says more than anything else.
