Earlier, we reported about Sonos working on a new premium lineup of smart speakers, which will soon go official. While the company is yet to officially launch the new speakers, they have been leaked online.
Sonos Era 300 and Era 100, which will be a part of the new premium Era lineup from the company, have been leaked online ahead of the official launch, with official images, specs, and pricing details.
The Sonos Era 300 will be a high-end model with a unique dual-angled design and will be a direct competitor to the Apple HomePod 2. It will come with six drivers that direct sound forward, left, right, and up. Some of the features confirmed for the device include Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth, AirPlay 2, built-in mics, auto EQ, and USB-C line-in.
It will be HomeKit/AirPlay 2 compatible and should also have Siri support as well as Alexa support. The speaker can also be used as surrounds for the Sonos Arc and Beam soundbars for an immersive Dolby Atmos setup.
On the other hand, the Sonos Era 100 will be an evolution of the Sonos One with a bigger mid-woofer for improved bass and two tweeters for a “true stereo sound.” Earlier, the speaker was expected to have support for Spatial Audio, but that will not be the case. It will feature the same set of connectivity options as the Era 300.
Coming to the pricing, the leak reveals that the Sonos Era 300, the high-end premium offering, could be priced around $450 while the Sonos Era 100 could cost around $250. While the exact launch date has not been revealed, the speakers are expected to go official in the coming weeks.
