The Sonos Roam and Roam SL meanwhile, have a polycarbonate grille, though the top and bottom - or sides depending on which orientation it is in - are rubber. Underneath, there's the power port, with the design cleverly allowing for the lead to pass out of the back, offering as seamless design as possible when a power cord is necessary. On the back of the Era 100, there's a Wi-Fi to Bluetooth toggle switch, a USB-C line-in port and a microphone on/off switch, which is a secondary method in turning off the Era 100's ability to listen as there is a microphone switch on the top too. It's a lovely looking speaker that will blend seamlessly into most home interiors. You'll find capacitive controls on top of the Era 100, along with a volume slider trough and the shell - including the top and bottom - is made from sustainable polycarbonate. They measure around the same in terms of height - the Roam and Roam SL are around an inch shorter - but they are also roughly half the width of the Era 100, making them much more portable, which is of course the point. The Sonos Era 100 is quite a bit larger than the Roam and Roam SL, with a cylindrical build rather than the triangular prism shape offered by the Roam and Roam SL. It comes in Black and White colour options like most Sonos devices and it costs $249 in the US and £249 in the UK. The Sonos Era 100 is more expensive than the Sonos Roam and Roam SL - around £100/$100 more. We also have a feature comparing the Roam to the Sonos One and the Era 100 to the One if you want to make sure you've covered all bases before you make your decision. So which should you buy? We've detailed the differences between the Sonos Era 100, Sonos Roam and Roam SL in this feature to help you decide between them. If you're in the market for a small Sonos speaker though, there is of course also the Sonos Roam and Roam SL to consider, which while smaller than the Era 100, offer portability and waterproofing, alongside decent sound for their size. ![]() The Ambeo Mini looks simple and fairly classy, with a fabric covering and gray top that is designed to disappear into your home theater setup.Sonos announced the Era 100 and Era 300 to its portfolio of speakers at the beginning of 2023, with the Era 100 replacing the excellent Sonos One to mark itself as the latest entry point into the Sonos system of wired speakers. With its support for Bluetooth audio and DTS:X, and the generally phenomenal performance of the Ambeo soundbar range, it is expected to be a big winner and may even kick the Beam off its spot in front of your TV. The Ambeo Mini is estimated to be roughly 28 inches wide, making it slightly wider than the Sonos Beam. ![]() It can also be used with the Sennheiser Ambeo Sub for additional bass. While technical information about the number of speakers and other specs is missing from the site, the soundbar is designed to be an all-in-one system for smaller TVs, much like the Sonos Beam 2nd Gen. The soundbar promises to deliver “the world’s most immersive sound possible from just one compact device” and will support both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, self-calibration tech, and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for music streaming. Sennheiser is set to launch a new super-compact Dolby Atmos soundbar, the Sennheiser Ambeo Mini, according to a leak on the company’s website.
