Better controls and indicators Simon Cohen / Digital TrendsĪtop the speaker are Sonos’ newly redesigned touch controls, which separate track skipping and volume functions, making both easier and more accurate to use. At 6.3 inches tall, 10.2 inches wide, and 7.2 inches deep, the Era is compact for a speaker of its capabilities, but it’s not exactly small. Not that there are many bookshelves that would handily accommodate it.
Placing the Era 300 in a bookshelf (or anywhere that might block the sides or top) would be less than ideal. It’s a clever solution that lets the speaker to do what it does best - don’t worry, I’ll get to sound quality in a moment - but it also means you’ll need to give it plenty of room to breathe. If you picture the speaker sitting in the center of a flower, with the petals representing the sound, you’ll get the idea.
SONOS SOFTWARE FRUSTRATING DRIVERS
The design allows five of the speaker’s six drivers to aim sound both outward and slightly forward.
Though certainly eye-catching, the Era 300’s unusual hourglass shape isn’t simply Sonos trying to make a statement. But if you suffer from a fingerprint allergy, I recommend the white version - the black finish has a tendency to show even the faintest of marks on its smooth beltline. They both look great, with their understated, all-plastic exteriors. In keeping with the rest of the Sonos home speaker lineup, you can buy the Era 300 in either black or white. Not your average speaker Simon Cohen / Digital Trends
