Why this model

The Sonos Era 300 is a sculptural Wi-Fi and Bluetooth speaker for people who want Dolby Atmos music at home, in the living room or a spacious home office. According to Sonos, its six drivers are arranged to the front, sides and top to fill the room with sound.

If you were torn between the Era 100 and a bigger system, the Era 300 is the middle step. This guide covers its design, daily use, official specs and who it really suits in Belgium, including its limits.

Design: a shape that stands out

The Era 300 drops the classic box shape for a rounded form, with a matte finish in black or white according to Sonos. It measures 185 × 260 × 160 mm and weighs 4.47 kg: it has presence, yet sits comfortably on a shelf, sideboard or low cabinet.

Sonos states that it contains 40% recycled plastic and that the packaging is FSC-certified paper. Controls are touch-based (play, volume, skip), with discreet LED indicators for connection and microphone status.

Daily use: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and AirPlay 2

You set it up and control it with the Sonos app. It streams over Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3, and supports AirPlay 2 from iOS 11.4 or later. Trueplay tuning adapts the sound to your room, on iOS and Android.

Voice control works through Sonos Voice Control or Amazon Alexa, with availability varying by region. A switch on the back cuts power to the microphones if you want total privacy. You can also pair it with a Sonos Arc or Beam (Gen 2) for surround sound.

Key specs

According to Sonos, the Era 300 has six Class D digital amplifiers for six drivers: a front-centre tweeter, two side-facing tweeters, an upward-firing tweeter in a directional horn, and two woofers facing left and right. Dolby Atmos Music streams over Wi-Fi from supported services.

For connections, the USB-C port accepts a 3.5 mm line-in adapter or an Ethernet adapter, both sold separately. The power supply is internal (100–240 V) with a 2 m cable, and standby draw is stated as 1.8 W.

Who it is for, and who it is not

It suits anyone who wants a speaker that looks good on display, sound that fills the room and a path into a growing Sonos system. It is a good fit for a living room, bedroom or large home office where spatial music matters.

It is less suited if you want portability, a small footprint or a minimal budget: the Era 100 or a portable speaker will serve you better. And to enjoy Atmos fully, you need a compatible streaming service.
