Sonos has popularized and perfected its lineup of Wi-Fi speakers with the Sonos Era 100.

Why you should buy the Sonos Era 100

The Sonos Era 100 is a jack of all trades and a master of several. Our own Simon Cohen said it best: “Once again, Sonos extract magical amounts of sound from a tiny speaker.”

Sonos’ native sound profile gets warm and articulate renderings of your favorite songs, albums, and artists. There’s also a pleasant amount of low-end to seal the deal, adding kinetic thrills to genres like rock, rap, and Top 40 pop tracks. Should you want a bit more bass or treble, you can fine-tune audio preferences in the Sonos app.  

More than a traditional music-listening speaker, the Sonos Era 100 can be incorporated into your larger Sonos home theater. You’ll need to own a compatible soundbar, but once you do, you can add two Era 100 speakers for wireless surround effects!

You’ll need the Sonos app to manage most elements of the Era 100, but the fact that Sonos thought to include a Bluetooth Mode gives users the ability to simply pair up a phone or other device for range-limited playback. You’ll also be able to use Apple AirPlay 2 to cast music from an iPhone or iPad. 

Save $50 on the Sonos Era 100 when you purchase today. For even more AV recommendations, we also suggest looking at our lists of the best Bluetooth speaker deals and best soundbar deals.

I’m already surrounded by AI. I don’t need ChatGPT living beside my bed
No, OpenAI. I don’t want your ChatGPT speaker.

AI is all around us now. From your phone to home appliances, it practically sits everywhere--and it might just get a lot more intimate. A recent report claims OpenAI and Jony Ive are working on a small, screenless AI speaker shaped somewhat like a doughnut. It could be battery-powered, portable enough to carry around the house, and packed with microphones, cameras, sensors, speakers, lights, and even moving parts.

It sounds like someone finally decided the Amazon Echo needed eyes and a personality. And not to be too negative, the idea of a "ChatGPT"-powered hardware really doesn't sound so great.

For months, reports have suggested that OpenAI’s first hardware product would be a screen-free smart speaker designed to act more like an AI companion. We already knew it could understand its surroundings, be carried around the home, and proactively help users. A new Bloomberg report now gives us a clearer picture of what the device may actually look like.

As per the report, OpenAI’s first gadget will be shaped like a doughnut and measure about the same size as a hockey puck. You will be able to carry it between rooms or leave it nearby on whatever surface is convenient. The device is expected to be on the expensive side, as the company has pondered pricing it around $300 to $400. A release is currently planned for 2027.
