It's also tough to ignore the $600 price tag, which is a couple of hundred dollars more than comparable record players out there. This causes dust to slip in from the sides. Rather than a case that seals the platter in (which is found on most record players), the Onyx has a small plastic cap that leaves a lot of space between itself and the record player. He says “The clicks, pops, and texture of playing a record came through just as clearly as they would from analog speakers.” His main gripe, however, was the insubstantial dust cover. WIRED product reviewer Eric Ravenscraft paired it with the Sonoas Era 300 and said the sound quality was excellent. It also packs an analog stereo RCA output-so you can use it like a traditional record player-and an Ethernet port to connect to your network. Simply plug in the power cable and you're all set to stream audio from the record player to your Sonos-compatible speaker. This Stream Onyx ( 8/10, WIRED Recommends) is a little different than the rest of Victrola's offerings-it streams exclusively to Sonos speakers.
If you opt for the Sonos companion app, you can adjust EQ, tune the speakers to your environment via the TruePlay feature, and pair other Sonos speakers together.

In the back, you'll find a socket for power, a switch to mute the mics, a USB-C auxiliary input, and a button for Bluetooth pairing (which means you don't have to use the Sonos app to control it). It's worth noting that it supports Amazon and Apple's spatial audio catalog, but not Tidal's library of Dolby Atmos content.Īs with the Era 100, the Era 300 has physical controls including a volume slider, play/pause, skip forward/backward, and voice-assistant interaction (with a choice between Amazon Alexa and Sonos Voice Control).
With sound that spreads in all directions and for a substantial distance without lacking definition, we think the Era 300 surpasses the Apple HomePod by a wide margin when filling rooms. The standout feature, however, is spatial audio. Under the hood are six speaker drivers, four tweeters, and a couple of mid/bass drivers-all of which deliver detailed, big, and confident sound. The Sonos Era 300 ( 9/10, WIRED Recommends) has a rather awkward and startling appearance (we think it looks like a robot's butt), but the sound quality makes up for it.
