It measures 13cm wide and 18cm tall, which is pretty compact. While the Sonos One was only capable of delivering mono sound, the Era 100 comes with two angled tweeters with custom waveguides to better disperse sound, alongside a single mid-woofer that takes care of the lower frequencies. In other words, each Era 100 speaker features stereo capability.
Sonos also saw fit to include a USB-C line-in connection to hard-wire external sources like your turntable. However, you’ll need to get an additional USB-C to 3.5mm adapter from Sonos for that bit of functionality to work. There’s also a Sonos Combo adapter which provides the Era 100 with an Ethernet connection and a 3.5mm connection. Strangely, you can’t use the USB-C to connect directly to sources like your notebook or phone output audio digitally. You also can’t use the USB-C port to charge devices, which limits the functionality of the USB-C port.
At the rear is a button that enables Bluetooth pairing with the Era 100. The speaker will ship with Bluetooth 5.0 support, with an update to 5.2 coming via a future firmware update. At any rate, the important thing here is that music over Bluetooth is now a possibility.
