A pack of two Sonos Era 100 wireless smart speakers are currently going for one of the best prices we’ve seen since the holiday season on Woot. You can get two of the speakers for $410, or $88 off the regular price. That’s almost as low as last year’s Black Friday price, when the Sonos Era 100 speaker dropped to an individual price of $199. If you’re looking for decent midrange speakers to upgrade your home audio setup, the Sonos Era 100 is a solid option, especially with 18 percent off.

The Sonos Era 100 was launched last year as the successor to the Sonos One and brought many improvements. It includes two tweeters and a larger speaker than the Sonos One, providing high-quality sound. The Sonos Era 100 is our pick for the best midrange smart speaker right now, thanks to its impressive sound quality and features like Trueplay tuning, which Sonos has made even better with this model. The Era 100 uses its built-in microphones to adjust for optimal output for its location.

With the Era 100, you also have the option to manually connect a device to the speaker via its USB-C port. Unfortunately, you’ll likely need an adapter to connect something like a turntable, but it’s still nice to have an input option (the Sonos One didn’t). If you’re hoping to use a voice assistant with the Era 100, you should know that it’s best suited for people working with the Alexa ecosystem. The speaker supports Alexa and Sonos’ native voice assistant, but doesn’t work with Google Assistant.

The Sonos Era 100 is a good choice for multi-room audio or a home theater setup, and can be paired with a soundbar for an even better experience. It also has better controls on the device than the Sonos One, and a physical mic switch for when you want to make sure it’s not listening.
