The Sonos Era 300 is a premium spatial audio speaker built around six drivers arranged to fire forward, sideways, and upward, producing convincing Dolby Atmos playback from a single cabinet. It is one of the few standalone speakers that takes spatial audio seriously rather than treating it as a checkbox feature, and the build quality reflects its price: a dense, rigid enclosure, capacitive controls that have held up well in long-term use, and a hardware microphone switch that physically disconnects the voice assistant mics.
