Sonos Era 300 + Arc & Sub: Ultimate Home Audio Experience?

Something to note is that building a proper surround system yourself would cost at least the same as this Sonos setup, plus the headaches that come with troubleshooting and tuning a system. BUT, one thing that worries me with Sonos is the longevity of the system when it comes to updates and such. I know they're working on this but... 🤔

Good price

sorry but sonos speakers are weird an ugly, it maybe some of the best but just for that I' will go somewhere else

Got the 100s for surround. I will grab them im gonna have to wait. I think should have jist went with the 300s i got off 2nd market a good prices sealed for the 100s. Dude offered me 2 300s used with stands for the 800

I live in the one bedroom apartment and the only place I can put the surround is next to my couch. Should I get era 100 or 300 for surround with Arc and SUB (gen 3)?

Can u show how to make the speech and dialogues clearer .. its like a whisper with the home theater setup

Great Review!!! and Yes I remember watching your Original Video too 🤩🏆👍 and agreed with you back than 😊

Not for me. It's really expensive for what you get and it STILL does not support DTS HD and DTS: X, only lossy regular DTS audio. I'd much rather go with a Samsung Q990C, a Sony HT-A7000 with SW5 subwoofer and RS5 rear speakers, or anything from Nakamichi as they are all far less expensive (barring the Dragon system at nearly $4000!), they support all DTS audio formats, presumably sound just as good and have 2 or 3 HDMI ins.

Super-useful -- thanks.

I have the Arc and two Ones as my surrounds. Would you suggest upgrading the Ones to 300s or buying a sub.

Thanks

awesome review....i regret selling my Arc and 2 subs and SLones.....would have definetley add the Era 300's....oh well maybe i'll have to piece another set up again....cheers from Canada

Era 300 nice or ugly? Haven’t decided yet😂

Thanks!

I'm looking into getting this exact system. However, as an android user I'm also interested in the Samsung Q990C. My living room is about 300 square feet. Is the Sonos overkill? 😅

Someone likes Post Malone.

I just wish they weren't made in China. I'd gladly pay more if they were made in the US.

I thought Sonos was the best surround system until I listened to a set of Klipsch speakers. Then I returned the Sonos Arc, Sub, and two Era 300. The I built 5.1.4 surround system with Klipsch speakers and Onkyo RZ50 for less than what Sonos costs.

300s and Double sub video???

pls video in german

I just order them with the 40% discount code. I’m glad just got me a pair for $575.

True but we are talking around $2500 for the complete system.

How close could you mount it to a ceiling without it affecting the sound?

Sonos always fails to meet or exceed expectations for its price segment: Whether it is ease of setup, app features, connectivity options, sound quality, pairing, ... too bad.

Thank you for posting this helpful video

I can’t wait to see your face when you review the Nakamichi dragon. I know it’s big and bulky but Jesus Christ what a BEAST of a surround sound system.

TURN OFF MOTION SMOOTHING

Yes.

Do you recommend the loudness setting?

Man, that is one long winded advertisement.

Arc, 300's, 2 subs and a pair of 5's is the ideal setup

You are back! 🎉

IOS ????😂 i tried to use my ipad pro 2.gen, no luck= not supported !!! Sonus forcing you to spend more money to buy brand new apple stuff= ripoff !!

I have the same setup with the 300s as rears and I wasn’t super impressed as I used to have the fives as rears in the past and those had a really wide sound stage as well and I don’t really notice the atmos effects That much. BUT sony just released dolby atmos for the ps5 and I’ve been playing Spiderman 2 which is the first ps5 game to have a full Dolby atmos mix. And MAAAN! It sounds incredible and I definitely hear sound all around me and on top of me, when you swing under helicopters or action is happing all around you it sounds incredible, this is the first time I’ve ever felt like I was inside a sound bubble, If you’re a gamer I have this system I recommend the new Spiderman game, it takes full advantage of Dolby atmos, other ps5 games I recommend putting them on DTS if you have Sonos, I’m excited for the future of gaming if they’re going to start including atmos on more games!

trueplay ?? just bough the arc, and Suprise trueplay only works on the newest apple stuff. what a ripp off. my ipad pro 2 gen not supported. dont believe everything you hear in these reviews.

To bulky and to expensive.

I wish Sonos let you group 4 Era 300 into 4 corners as home theatre/music system.

It's still Dragon's bitch for the same price.

Hoping for either an upgraded Arc next year or rear speakers for the Sennheiser's Ambeo plus.

The bass isn’t so good, I had return it and got the Bose instead

Wait Johnatan, is that how u have your era place by the sound bar ??

Great video, thank you! This setup seems the best choice for a Dolby Atmos experience in the house....

I follow your reviews with great interest and passion and I compliment you on the great work behind them. in the past I followed the review on the Sony HT-A9 system. Your opinion on the Sonos Era 300 + SW compared with the previously mentioned Sony system would be interesting.

I currently have the Arc with a sub gen2 and 2 fives as surround speakers. I'm already convinced to replace the fives with 300's. But upgrading the sub to gen 3, is it worth it. What would that add beside an amount of extra money to be spend?

i know this isnt exactly related to this video but can you help me with something?
i was wondering if it is possible to connect a samsung ah64-05291a reciever to a pc and only use it for the speakers/surround sound. ive tried contacting samsun support about this but they arent too helpful.
- let me know, thanks
edit: if it helps i have an asus prime b450-a motherboard and have a free hdmi port on gpu & cpu

this or sony HT-A9?

Interesting to see a new Sonos product. Strange shape too. At least they live up to the name and quality though! Nothing expected less from Sonos though.

Will you review the new Nakamichi Soundbar?

Cooool, stuff I can’t afford 🥹

A review i was waiting for 😊. I hear a lot of complaints that when you use the 300's as surrounds the front speaker is disabled. Did you experience that as a problem or is this an advantage because of a more spatial feel compared to the Fives ? I'm still considering to buy this set up but i am sort of waiting for a follow up to the Arc. Unfortunately i still listen to some physical media from time to time and Sonos doesn't support that format all that well. But of all brands i think Sonos is well built compared to Samsung q990C.
