Amazon Music Atmos

Don't think about it if you have Apple or Amazon music just buy this speaker. Dolby Atmos is the next big thing in music this isn't a gimmick like lossless. The joy of re listening to your favourite music in Dolby atmos is something any music fan should do and the Era 300 does this and then some. It's that good I will be getting a second.

Unreal sound for movies and music with spacial/atmos sound.

I use the 300's solely for music. I am especially enjoying Dolby Atmos.

Simple out of the box and you're listening to incredible Dolby Atmos. You're just surrounded by music everywhere. Music is coming from areas where there's no speakers at all. I have 2 era 300, Sonos gen 3 sub and the Arc. It's exactly what I've wanted my music to sound like.

I purchased two Fives to use in my small home office. Streaming is through Amazon Music HD and I also use the line-in from my computer to watch online videos. Music was a big part of my life many years ago back in the 1970s and 80s. Then life got busy and music kinda went to the wayside. My wife also thought we could make better use of the space that was taken up by my large stereo system. So the Bose 601 series IV speakers, NAD stack, Dual 1229 turntable, and Teac CD player went into storage. I've listened to many songs through Amazon Music HD from my music era and think they sound great on the Fives. The convenience of high quality streaming can't be beat. It would be tough to go back to flipping vinyl again or using CDs. Although, I may fire up the old system someday just for old time sake and do a sound comparison. I'm no longer interested in listening to "loud and time to party like a rockstar" music. The Fives can certainly put out that type of power if that is your thing. I'm more interested in hearing the minor details and nuances within the music. The Fives do not disappoint in this area...especially after running Trueplay. Some recommended songs to highlight the Five's capabilities are: Guinnevere by Crosby, Stills & Nash; Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes by Paul Simon; Barcelona Nights by Ottmar Liebert; and Peel me a Grape by Diana Krall. I'm very happy with the Fives and will be adding additional components going forward. Next purchase will most likely be another Five and then upgrade the sound on my 65" Sony TV. Thank you Sonos for bringing high-quality music back into my life.

All my music streaming seamlessly with the Era 300 but by far the service offer by Amazon Music is really good with a lot of Atmos music and sound more light on the bass give this speaker the best sound compared to Tidal. The wireless connection is the most useful giving no downtime to hiccups otmr buffering issue.

I say WOW. It's all because I've been using this device for many months. ATMOS, Spatial and room filling music and sound. This is a game changer. If you want start feeling music and stop just listening this is the speaker or set for you. Let's start feeling music.

This sound bar paired with the sub is brilliant. The atmos is surprisingly efficient. Good sound for movie and music.

I wasn't too impressed with the Sonos ERA 300 at first because as I discovered that Atmos is a different way of enjoying music, and movies, and gaming, compared to traditional stereo listening. The ERA 300 needs the Sub gen 3 and Arc to fill out the room for that pleasing spatial sound. Even when all those things come together with Trueplay enabled, my EQ needed to be tweaked to my own preference, with sub volume adjusted to my preference, and the 300s experimented with for full or ambient sound setting for music, and TV surround volume adjusted, and height volume adjusted to my liking, speakers placed in desired positions, and music volume of surrounds adjusted to my desired needs. It all took a few days give or take before I could settle with a pleasing sound that I enjoyed with Atmos or non-Atmos music when I'm up and about or sitting, and for experiencing surround sound for movies and gaming.

Use as a stereo pair for Dolby Atmos music. Also used with Apple TV for movies. Unfortunately need to upgrade TV before I get an Arc for full surround sound.
