    Purchase:Sonos Arc, Sub Gem 3, (2) ERA 100 Home Theater, Samsund UN55DU8000F 4K Curve TV. I have been searching and testing different home theater solutions for our master bedroom. I was injured and have been spending time recouperating so I wanted to splurge a bit.Let’s start with the TV. The Samsung Curved 4K HDTV came in at a price point of only $550. It’s connectivity to Alexa, Samsung Cloud and other supporting technology had my attention. It has plenty of connections on the backside for you to add a lot of components and includes eArc so you can connect it to your AV system as a one and done.I found myself connecting to the ears and moving on. I have an Apple TV. Because of my quadriplegia, in rough Best Buy in to mount the TV and help me run cables.For the speakers:I chose the Sonos Arc, Sub Gen 3, and torches ERA 100’s as my rear speakers. Since everything is wireless and Bluetooth I was pretty excited.I am a developer in real life and though this would be pretty straight forward. I added the sound Bar first to my TV and wireless. Right off I noticed the sound bar would not discover the 5G network. After some reading, it only communicates on standard wireless networks. And you have to use your iPhone or Apple device on that same network. Ok, don’t panic, let’s keep going.I then made sure the TV could interface the sound bar. So far so good.Now let’s add the two rear speakers and sub. These were able to see the 5G network but not the standard wireless. So now I have 3 speakers on bedroom 1 and 1 speaker on bedroom. The directions tell you can merge these.I purchased a new Logitech Harmony 915 remote with hub. The Samsung remote is useless.The speakers use the Sonos app to connect to each other and allow you some other fine control. The app is horrible. I’m constantly fighting to keep the speakers connected to each other, and when you have to reconnect the bar to the other speakers you totally loose sound and have to use the remote to bring the sound back. At the same time the sound control coming from your iPhone app could be at a level that is blowing you away.For the Sonos speakers I’m in at a cost of around $1600, the fact that an app can make it feel like a total waste or at least the price point is over by $1000, I’d say don’t waste your money until Sonos fixes the app. All the speakers should be on the same network. I’m learning how to use the Logitec remote to control the speakers, but since Sonos is using an app.Overall, it’s not a bad purchase but I feel like each company tried build in technology that leaves the user in a fight. I’d recommend you do more research. I would have returned all this but I had an unexpected hospital stay that put my return time past the allowed window by 4 days.I’ll learn it, if I just can’t make it work, I’ll sell it. Maybe I’ll get lucky and Sonos will step in and help.I hope this detail helps someone.

    Replaced my old port system connected to Bose speakers with stereo pair 100s, a sub mini and an era 300. Nice sound but find the new Sonos app to be quirky. Volume con unexpectedly increase, the app is slow on volume adjustments whereas the earlier version had no similar issues. Apparently the new version of the app was released before a proper shakedown. Speakers are high quality.

    What a shame. When they work the sound is amazing. The problem. They never work for streaming music because of a woeful update to its software. Even the NYT, which once recommended the system as the best has changed its mind. About three months ago Sonos updated its system software that literally rendered my entire Sonos speaker system (This Sonos Era 100 included) useless. To use this system as a music streaming device, you must use the Sonos App. Sonos used to have one of the best apps in the business. Intuitive with amazing functionality. A few months ago they tried to update it, basically trying to make it look more like Amazon music. It was an utter failure. Folks like me are wanting to sell their entire system. I stayed with sonos for three months now since they promised they would make things right. They have not. The speakers stop streaming music after playing just one song. Nearly no commands work correctly. When I tell it to stop playing a song. It does not listen. I manually have to press the button on the speaker. This system was developed so you could talk to it and play all music across an entire CD. That used to be possible. Now it is not. Literally stops playing after one song. Via voice prompt, when you tell it to go to the next song, it cannot. We Sonos music streamers have lost the capability to stream music directly from our device's own music library. Many of us bought Sonos because we wanted to have great speakers that would directly play music from our phones or our shared music library folders on our computers. That functionality has ceased to exist. Run! Don't walk. And return these speakers. Their only use today is as a bluetooth device where you have to physically press each song you want to move onto via whatever controlling system you have for bluetooth. The Sonos incompetence here I cannot overstate. A once great company and music system has fallen. Such a shame. It did not have to be this way. If I could speak to the CEO of Sonos I would tell him this: Your bread and butter was your speaker system, not headphones, not other products. Get back to the basics. Restore the streaming functionality that allowed us to enjoy music via touchless voice commands and software that was once top notch. I have five Sonos speakers for sale. I hate to do it, but I am making all my speakers Amazon speakers. At least Amazon respects it customers by doing research before launching new products that destroy the functionality of what used to be. Goodbye, Sonos. Forever!

    I bought two Era 100s to finish my existing Arc + mini sub combo. Pairing both speakers to the existing system was a breeze, and I'm really happy with the full setup. Both surround sound and the enhanced music streaming has been great! No issues with the app, but I also control most things through my remote so I don't use the app often.

    I bought two Era 100s to finish my existing Arc + mini sub combo. Pairing both speakers to the existing system was a breeze, and I'm really happy with the full setup. Both surround sound and the enhanced music streaming has been great! No issues with the app, but I also control most things through my remote so I don't use the app often.

    First of all, I'm admittedly an audiophile snob. So keep that in mind when reading my comments. This fit, finish, and execution of this product is excellent. The app and setup process was completely troublefree and I had the pair of these configured and playing in stereo in about 10 minutes. I really appreciate the tactile control on the top of the speakers for pause, play and volume up and down.

    The sound quality was a mixed bag for me. The top end is very even and without any stridency. There is a modest amount of mid range suckout. This was somewhat disappointing for me as I listen to a lot of female jazz singers. Vocal reproduction is often missing the natural timbre that you get from higher end speakers and headphones. Vocalist can sound "thin" and somewhat nasley. And then there is the bass.

    Once these speakers are placed properly (8-10 feet apart) and the listener is positioned to create a triangle from the speakers, the bass is somewhat shockingly good for speakers of this size. I had to turn the loudness feature off and dialed the bass down (-2) in the EQ setting. The response from the bass with these settings is still stong and punchy, and there is even a bit of texture to the sound. How Sonos is able to accomplish this with a speaker these size, I just don't understand.

    The convenience of the stereo pair and overall performance of the speakers make these a keeper for me despite being an audiophile. I'll probably look to add a Sonos sound bar in the future.

    Setup can be challenging but not rocket science...upgraded from play 1. Wifi or Bluetooth but I've been used to wifi. For the size of these you would be challenged to find better.

    I listen to music for a large part of the day at home. I have had a jam box for 8-9 yrs and thought it was the best until I got the Sonos!! The quality, the bass is just a step above the jam box! What I don’t like about it… it is not battery operated for portability and it doesn’t stay connected to my iPhone. So every time I use it I have to connect to my phone and who knows, that could be something I’m doing wrong. Anyway, just an extra step for me to use it which it’s so worth it in my opinion. I highly recommend this speaker if you are a music lover!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente bocina

    Pro: Ya tengo una Five y me encanta la calidad tan balanceada del sonido, esta no decepciona, obvio no es tan potente como la Five, pero cumple muy bien, es práctica, la conexión es rápida vía WiFi, así como vía Bluetooth, la conecté a mi Sony Walkman sin problemas (probando, parece funcionar esto último sin necesidad de estar conectado a wifi, ya que apagué el módem). Las de Bose no me gustan porque arrojan demasiados graves que distorsionan el sonido real, opacando altos y medios.
    Cons: no es compatible la conexión con la Five ni Play, intenté hacer que sonaran las 2 al mismo tiempo aunque están en habitaciones diferentes, y aparece la notificación de que no son compatibles para reprodur en stereo, y creo que es la unica forma. Debe estar conectada a la corriente. La caja venía sucia y medio maltratada, sin embargo, el contenido está íntegro.

    Great sound, they pick up and amplify sounds that would not otherwise be heard. Easy pairing with the ray. The app needs some work still but the speakers are amazing!
