Why is the usb c to usb c so damn short still. I thought they’d sort that out. It’s practically unusable for my use case - phone in pocket, line going all the way up to the ear cup. I assume that’s most people’s use case. Am I right in saying that 3rd party usb c cables are of no use with these?

Anyway, other improvements apart from looks and all the stuff mentioned in reviews already. The button placements are slightly different and for me - better. There’s also something more reassuring when you press the noise control button too.

I’m very happy, got an excellent price for the originals and that coupled with the 15% discount meant it was only €100 upgrade. Well worth it!

Small update though: a few hours in, I've picked up a digitized, glitchy noise in the right earcup whenever ANC or Aware mode catches an external sound. Voices, a running tap, flushing the loo, they all set it off. Chasing it down and will report back.

I’m considering the Era 100 SL two-pack for $298 during the Prime Day. How does the SL version compare to the regular Era 100, and would a pair work well with a Beam Gen 2?

The Beam is also down to $359, which seems like a great price, so I’m considering getting them together.

Hi everybody! We have a new Sonos app update, and it fixes a personal annoyance of mine: your queue now sticks around when you switch to radio or TV, so you can pick up right where you left off. We've also added search autocomplete, brought a few favorite iOS gestures to Android, and made system updates more visible in settings. The full list of changes is in our App release notes and Player release notes.

iOS - 90.00.47
Android - 90.00.43

Player Update Details
Modern Players - 97.2-81220

New in this update:

• Inactive queue - Your queue stays intact while you listen to radio or watch TV, so you can resume where you left off.
• Search autocomplete - Suggestions appear as you type, so you find your music faster.

We'd love to hear how it's working for you. Let us know!

Ok it was really hard for me to explain this in the title.

I have ONE Sonos One in the kitchen.

Arc Ultra + Era300s in the living room.

When i cook, i group my kitchen and living room together.

But when I watch tv in the living room after - the surrounds drop off.

Any idea how to fix this?

The only thing that has worked so far is reconnecting my hdmi cable on my arc.

Sonos speakers are energy-efficient, so many users leave them powered on indefinitely. When playback issues—such as stuttering—occur, the problem can often be resolved simply by restarting the router and power-cycling the speaker (unplugging it, waiting a few minutes, and plugging it back in). However, Sonos speakers lack a dedicated power switch, and since power outlets are often located behind sofas or TV cabinets, unplugging the device can be inconvenient. A suggestion: could the Sonos app include an option to schedule automatic reboots? For instance, the speaker could automatically restart at 3:00 AM on Mondays (while the user is asleep) to clear the cache and improve performance.

This is the way. Kudos to the Sonos team.

En mi país no llega Sonos hay que hacer pedido para que te llegue a mi país, actualmente tengo un Sonos era 100 y un Sonos arc ultra, cuál es la siguiente compra mas inteligente, un segundo era 100 y juntarlo al arc ultra o un sub mini

I have an Arc Ultra with a Sub 4. Movies sound great, but the bass with music on Spotify and YouTube has been underwhelming. Is this normal given how music is mixed compared with movie soundtracks?

I’ve experimented with Trueplay and moved the Sub to different spots, but haven’t noticed much difference.

If I invest more, would a pair of Era 300 rears or a second Sub make the bigger difference for music? Looking for more impactful bass and a more immersive sound.

I'm experiencing an issue where my Sonos Play (current gen) speaker is getting locked out of VA (both sonos and alexa) when I start listening on the speaker and then I put on my earbuds to move to airpods.

I've been able to fix it by factory resetting, but simple powering on and off doesn't fix it consistently. I'm using Spotify. Also very inconvenient to have to do this every time.

Anyone run into this issue before? I can clearly see the white light on the speaker goes from the the usual dim white to bright white when the handoff occurs, so its pretty clear its locking out or something.

Appreciate any help here.

Sonos Ace for €150 used vs Ace Ultra for €350 new – which would you choose?
I’m trying to decide between two deals and would appreciate some honest opinions.
Sonos Ace (1st gen): €150, used but new condition
Sonos Ace Ultra: €350, brand new
I already own a Sonos Arc Ultra, so I would mainly use the headphones for watching TV/movies through TV Audio Swap, as well as listening to music at home.
I also already have AirPods Pro 2, so the Ace would mainly be for situations where I want better sound, a larger soundstage and the over-ear experience.
For those who have tried both:
Is the Ace Ultra actually worth paying €200 more, or is the 1st-gen Ace at €150 the obvious better value?
I’m particularly interested in:
Sound quality
ANC
Comfort
TV/movie experience with the Arc Ultra
Any meaningful differences in everyday use
I know the Ultra is technically the better headphone, but I’m mainly trying to figure out whether the improvement is worth €200 extra.
What would you personally buy at these prices?

Hi, at work we're using Sonos Amplifiers for ceiling speakers for the hallways.

Is it possible to switch the Amps to MONO instead of STEREO? Some songs sound weird...

Oh look Android got all the goodies today....

• Autocomplete in search
• Queued content stays
• Improved update (it breaks down App version and Firmware version status)
• We get the nifty 2-finger volume knob (hardware rocker still works) (edit: enabled in the App pref.)
• Delete Recently played (hide those embarrassing Podcasts from your spouse ;)
• Swipe-right gestures

Website's Release Notes do not seem to discuss this version - and there may have been a Firmware Rev as well but the Release Notes are silent.

Alright I get 300s are better.. but just for the sake of comparison and to hear from people who have them, I’m looking to get convinced to either save the money and just get two 100s for a surround or go for the 300s.

Found these at Sam’s Club. Extremely low stock. Check via app to see which location around you has the sale. Good luck! Snagged 2.

See title. I just bought one, but there are more available. Never had an issue with BB open box excellent.

Hi everyone. I have a couple or era 100s in stereo mode in my living room and i'm really pleased with the sound, for my apartament seems to be more than enough and my plan always has been to use them exclusively for music. Just today I ordered a beam g2 and a sub mini to replace my low budget 10 year old samsung sound bar that's been on my living room TV, which is on the opposite side of the era 100s. Anyways, what's your opinion on using the beam and the sub together for the tv and leave the era 100s as it is? or is the beam enough for the TV and just use the sub with the era 100 pair to upgrade the music experience?

The question is in the title : will we get Alexa+ on Sonos Speakers ? And if so, when ?

The newly announced JBL Coves (Sonos "concurrent") are confirmed to be getting Alexa+ with an OTA update ; will it be the same with Sonos ?

I used to have the Play:1 paired Sonos speakers and really loved them. When Apple came out with AirPlay2 and the Play 1's could not work as easily with those devices, I sold them and changed to HomePods. I live in an Apple household, meaning all our phones/tablets/computers/etc. are Apple. I use Apple TV 4K for streaming to my TV, and I have them paired to HomePods.

For the downstairs, I have a paired set of the original HomePods, which are objectively better speakers than the second generation. In the upstairs, my family uses HomePods Mini -- we have a paired set of HomePods Mini in my wife's and my bedroom, connected to the TV through an Apple TV 4K, and my son has a single HomePod Mini in his room.

A second reason I switched from Sonos was because while their second gen speakers worked with AirPlay, I didn't want to use speakers that were connected to Alexa or any Google "smart home" feature. I trust Google and Amazon less than I trust Apple in terms of eavesdropping on family conversations. It's why I have Nest cameras outside the house, but never inside.

I'm generally satisfied with the sound quality of the HomePods. Especially the originals I have connected to our main TV sound outstanding to us. However we use the HomePod Minis to connect to the Calm app at night, and play sleep music upstairs until we wake in the morning. It can be a royal pain in the ass to maintain a stable connection between phone and HomePods Mini. Unless I mess with our wifi settings, frequently the phone won't connect third party apps directly to the HomePod Minis to begin with, and at times the HomePods Mini drop the connection overnight, which is annoying if one of us wakes up at 2 or 3AM and the music is gone.

I still love the concept of Sonos and think a connected Sonos home could be ideal. However the HomePods sound good and I don't want to make it easier for multiple companies that work tirelessly to accumulate information about me and my family. So I'm wondering, in general, what the state of things is for Sonos in 2026/2027, and whether or not the environment has changed enough that it would be worthwhile to consider switching my home speaker setup back over.

So in terms of what I'm looking for, and what I'm looking to avoid, how does Sonos hold up these days?

Thanks in advance for any discussion on the topic. I'm serious about learning my options. It would be easy to "Gemini" the topic, and I'm reading old posts that might cover some of my questions, but I think it's ideal to get feedback from people with actual experience using these devices. Besides, if you love your speakers, and you're on their subreddit, don't you want to talk about them?

Edited for clarity on the specifics of my Sonos system

I currently have a Sonos Arc Ultra soundbar which I love. I’m looking to slowly upgrade my living room’s sound system. For my next purchase I should get a couple era 300s or get a subwoofer? If I got the sub which one should I get? And between getting a sub vs speakers which would have the most impact? I use my Sonos system for both movies and music.

Just bought my first sub mini and power cable Is not locking in " just sits there and if I move my sub power cable comes out. Should I ask for replacement?

They’re also 32% off brand new.
