During our consultations, clients often ask us about the differences between the Sonos Era 100 and Sonos Era 300 and which speaker is the better choice for their room. While both are excellent wireless speakers, they are designed for somewhat different listening experiences. The Sonos Era 100 is a compact, versatile speaker that is a great choice for adding music to a bedroom, kitchen, office, bathroom, or other smaller to medium-sized room. Despite its compact size, the Era

One of the convenient features available with many Sonos products is Sonos Voice Control, which allows you to control your Sonos system simply by saying, “Hey Sonos.” Several Sonos products have built-in microphones and support voice control, including the Sonos Arc Ultra, Beam (Gen 1 and Gen 2), Era 100, Era 300, Move, Move 2, Roam, Roam 2, and Sonos One (Gen 1 and Gen 2). One important exception is the Sonos One SL, which does not have a microphone and is not voice enabled.

Can I Connect My Music Library to My Sonos System? One of the questions we hear from new Sonos clients is whether they can still play the music library they've built over the years on their computer or an external hard drive. The answer is yes. Sonos can access your personal music library, and once it's set up, you can enjoy your music throughout your home. Step 1: Share Your Music Folder For Windows computers: Right-click your music folder and select Properties. Click the Sh

One of the most common questions we hear from clients who are new to Sonos is, "Where's the Off button?" The answer is simple—there isn't one. Sonos speakers are designed to stay in a low-power standby mode whenever they're not in use. To stop music from playing, simply tap the Pause button for the room that's playing music. If you've grouped multiple rooms together, tap the Pause button for the entire group. Once paused, the music stops immediately, and the speaker automatic

For many of our clients who have upgraded their older Bose systems to Sonos, there is one simple issue that comes up quite often. A customer tries to group multiple rooms together, but the rooms never join the group. As a result, it may appear that the Sonos system is not working properly. In most cases, the solution is very simple. When grouping rooms in the Sonos app, you must tap the Apply button at the bottom of the screen after selecting the rooms you want to include. If

Recently, several clients who upgraded their primary residence with Sonos asked if they could use the same Sonos app to control a system in their vacation home. The answer is yes. Adding a second Sonos system to your Sonos app is simple. First, make sure your phone is connected to the Wi-Fi network at your second home. Next, open the Sonos app and power on your first Sonos product. The app will automatically detect the device and display a message that says "Sonos Product Fou

With the Sonos app, you can set a sleep timer to automatically turn off music in a selected room after a certain amount of time. This is a great feature for a bedroom or even an outdoor area in case you forget to turn off your outside speakers. To set the timer, open the Sonos app and go to the “Your System” dropdown menu. Select the room you would like to control. Once the room is selected, tap the three small dots in the lower right-hand corner of the screen. A pop-up menu

Many of our clients find themselves grouping the same rooms together when enjoying their favorite music. It might be the Kitchen and Great Room, or the Patio and Pool. If you’re creating the same groups over and over, Sonos makes it easy by allowing you to create a permanent group that you can start with a single tap. Here’s how to create a permanent group: Open the Sonos app and go to Settings Scroll down and select Groups Tap Create Group Name your group Select the rooms y

We’re often asked a version of this question, especially in homes with multiple Sonos zones: “If one person is listening to their favorite Pandora station in one room, can someone else listen to a different Pandora station in another room at the same time?” The short answer is no—not with a single account. Why This Happens Sonos (like most whole-home audio systems) treats each music service account as a single source. That means if you’re logged into Pandora with one acco
