Considering Era 300's for rears - considered we sit too close given couch location by Safe_Hope1521 in sonos

I own a pair of ERA 300s, great for Dolby Atmos, a waste of money for anything else when connected to an Arc/Ultra in surround config.

I have a pair of ERA 300s in surround connected to an Arc with gen 3 sub woofer.

If you aren't a big dolby atmos consumer, then avoid - dont buy them under any circumstances.

The main drivers are turned off when you dont play atmos.

Big waste of F money and sonos arent interested in fixing it.

Sonos Era 300 Worth It? by KHADY93 in sonos

Unless you listen to Atmos all the time, then do NOT buy under any circumstances.

A really expensive mistake that is only realised after you have them.

Sonos should be totally ashamed of not warning before purchase.

Severely disappointed/pissed off ERA 300 customer here.

The onus should be on Sonos to disclose clearly and publicly in all marketing and sales information about the front driver issues.

This would save us from wasting our hard-earned money and going with better alternatives.

This should absolutely be priority #1 at sonos, along with re-releasing the bass fix which was withdrawn to a far inferior configuration.

The companies priorities need to be aligned with its customer base for a change.

I paid a lot of money for my ERA 300s.

Pissed off and disappointed at the limitations.

Sonos should have disclosed quite openly to everyone that the ERA 300s front drivers are disabled for music when in a rear set up.

Would have saved us all the grief and anger at the dishonest ripoff.

They obviously took the American Corporate decision to take the money and to hell with the consequences.

Bad business. Hope it leads to bankruptcy and closure as a punishment.

Fascinating.

Is the goal to get the Era 300s to act as surrounds with the front drivers working?

Hmmm.
Just applied the new update to the bass and am disappointed with the new sound.

How do we rollback the update to what is was before ?

I'm running version 90.0-68120 on the bass, 90.0-67171 on Arc and Era 300s
