We named the Sonos era 100 the best mid-range option in our smart speaker guide and currently Woot is selling a two-pack for $410. That works out to an 18% discount, or $88 less than if you bought them at full price from Sonos. This isn't the lowest price we've seen – this happened during Black Friday Last year, when a single unit sold for $199 directly from Sonos. Still, if you want a smart speaker that can deliver good sound, the deal is worth considering as Sonos speakers don't go on sale often.

The Sonos Era 100 smart speaker is 18% off when you buy a two-pack at Woot.
The Sonos Era 100 earned a score of 88 in our goodbye, with Engadget's Nathan Ingraham calling it “affordable multi-room audio that sounds really good.” It is the replacement for the popular Sonos One and improves on its predecessor in terms of sound quality and features. It features a new speaker array with two tweeters and a larger woofer. Combined, the improvements add up to better clarity and impressive bass.
The Era 100 can now automatically adjust based on where you place the speaker thanks to the built-in mics (previously you had to optimize it manually using your phone). Unlike the Sonos One, this generation has line-in capabilities, but you'll need a adapter to connect a vinyl turntable. The multi-room audio feature is simple to set up, as is pairing the speakers to work in stereo. This means that if you go for this deal, it will be easy to get the most out of the package.
As a smart speaker, Alexa comes standard so you can get help with questions, controlling your smart home, and other tasks like setting reminders or managing your home devices intelligent. There's also the Sonos Assistant, which lets you control your music just by asking. Unfortunately, Google Assistant is not anymore supported through Sonos speakers. The Era 100 supports Apple AirPlay 2, but you'll need to access Siri through your phone, not through the speaker.
