Sonos One vs Sonos Era 100
Best For
Sonos Era 100 and Sonos One are compact smart speakers designed for room-filling audio, but the Era 100 is the more modern and versatile option. It features a dual-tweeter setup, a larger midwoofer, Bluetooth 5.3, and auxiliary connectivity through the Line-In Adapter. The Sonos One remains a capable choice for users who want a compact Wi-Fi speaker with built-in Amazon Alexa and AirPlay 2 support. At 1.76 kg, the Sonos One is also slightly lighter than the 2.02 kg Era 100. For newer connectivity and more detailed stereo-oriented sound, the Era 100 has the stronger feature set.
Verdict
The Sonos Era 100 is the better overall choice for most buyers, especially those who want improved stereo separation, deeper bass, Bluetooth connectivity, and the flexibility to connect an external audio source. Its newer acoustic architecture also gives it an advantage for music-focused listening. The Sonos One makes sense for buyers who prefer a slightly smaller and lighter speaker and primarily want Wi-Fi streaming with built-in Alexa voice control.
