This five-star Sonos wireless speaker plummets to its lowest price yet

We recently highlighted the £100 off deal on the Award-winning Sonos Era 300 spatial audio-focused wireless speaker, and now it's the turn of the smaller Era 100 to enjoy a discount.

The five-star Sonos Era 100 has dropped significantly from £249 to just £187 at Amazon, a saving of £62 or, if you prefer, 25 per cent. Considering the Era 100 has rarely fallen by more than a few quid during its first months of life, this is a rare and welcome chance to get one of our favourite wireless speakers for well below the £200 mark.

Best Sonos Era 100 wireless speaker deal

When Sonos decided to reboot the popular Sonos One wireless speaker, the company took a risk. Reboots aren't always met with acclaim and applause (look at Tom Cruise's The Mummy), especially when a popular, well-known product is dropped in favour of a brand-new line.

Happily, the Era 100 has been a roaring success, and it's easy to see why. With a streamlined design and updated controls, broadened connectivity options and stereo sound that improves upon the original One's performance, the Era 100 cruised to a five-star rating and quickly became a mainstay in our best wireless speakers guide. It's a sonic masterclass, filling rooms with a sound that feels broad and open while retaining Sonos' knack for detail, depth and refinement.

Plus, it does so much of what you want from a modern-day wireless smart speaker, including access to all the popular streaming services via the Sonos app. A choice of twin voice assistants comes courtesy of either Sonos voice control or Amazon's excellent Alexa, while wi-fi streaming (including AirPlay 2), Bluetooth 5.0 and wired connectivity add to the Era 100's versatility. The superb speaker is a pleasure to use and play with, especially if you're a Sonos devotee, in which case you can pair two Era 100s together to play in concert, or else use them as a satellite speaker for the Sonos Beam (Gen 2), Arc or Ray soundbar as part of a home theatre speaker system.

Many of our readers will likely have been waiting for the Era 100 to drop just a smidge in price before picking one up for their own. If that's you, the time for waiting might have come to an end; head over to Amazon for the best deal so far.
