Sonos Era 100
Score: 82/100Rankings
The Sonos Era 100 delivers true stereo sound with dual tweeters, a sizable woofer, and Trueplay tuning, plus extensive wireless and voice-assistant integration. It requires constant AC power and isn't waterproof, limiting placement options. Suited for Sonos ecosystem fans desiring high-quality indoor stereo.
The Denon Home 150 is a compact mono smart speaker that excels in high-resolution audio and HEOS multi-room features. Its mono design and modest bass make it less suited for larger spaces. Ideal for small rooms where space is at a premium and integration with existing HEOS setups is desired.
