Control Your Way

Multiple Methods of Connectivity

Now with WiFi 6, enjoy high-quality audio streaming (including lossless) with no worry of interruptions. For added versatility, Sonos have added Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity so anyone can stream audio without needing to be on your WiFi network. The speaker must be set up over WiFi before using Bluetooth.

Alternative methods of connectivity include AirPlay 2 for Apple users and the Sonos S2 app. The app enables you to group different Sonos zones in your home, adjust EQ settings and stream from a large selection of services including Tidal, Spotify, Apple Music & Sonos Radio.

The Era 300 also has a far-field microphone array which uses advanced beamforming and multichannel echo cancellation for accurate voice control. Choose from Amazon Alexa or Sonos Voice to control playback hands-free.

Want some privacy? Use the microphone switch to cut the power to the microphones.

Perfect For Any Space

Unique Aesthetic

The Era 300 offers a truly unique design, encompassing the impressive acoustic architecture in an aesthetic, sleek unit. 

With intuitive touch controls, you have quick access to playback and more accurate control over the volume with an ergonomic slider.

Our selection of Sonos Era 300 accessories include mounts and stands designed to minimise acoustic reflections and conceal the power cable as well as giving more flexibility over placement.

Environmentally Friendly

Designed With Sustainability In Mind

Sonos have created a more sustainable design for the Era 300, using post consumer-recycled plastics. The packaging is also 100% paper-based and made from sustainably sourced and recyclable fibres. 

The energy efficiency has also been optimised with software efficiency to reduce power consumption both when the speaker is playing audio and when it’s left idle.

For Android & iOS Users

All-New Trueplay Tuning

Trueplay tuning for Android and iOS devices - Sonos’ unique software to measure the acoustics of your space and optimise performance by adjusting the EQ.

• IOS devices can use Advanced Tuning which uses the microphones in your iOS device.
• Android users can use a Quick Tuning method which uses the microphones of the speaker to carry out Trueplay.

Note: if you use a pair of Era 300 speakers as surround sound rears with a Sonos soundbar, you will require a supported iOS device for Trueplay.

Sonos Era 300 FAQS

Era 300 requires the latest generation of the Sonos app (Sonos S2).

The optimal placement for best sound quality is indoors with around 2 feet of overhead clearance. We don’t recommend placing Era 300 in an enclosed space like a bookshelf as it could impact dispersion and playback clarity.

Yes. a pair of Era 300s deliver an even wider soundstage and more depth. You can also use a pair as rear speakers with a Sonos Arc or Sonos Beam (Gen 2).

Any audio in stereo is limited to left and right channels with elements localized within a horizontal place. Spatial audio technologies (Dolby Atmos) enable you to experience individual sounds around you in a 3D space. This gives a far more immersive and realistic listening experience.
