Ditch that crappy Bluetooth speaker and upgrade to the excellent Sonos Era 100 today while it's available for the low price of just $189. That's $30 less than usual, but we don't know for how long. That's why ordering sooner rather than later is always the way to go.

A party isn't complete without music -- not just from your phone, but great tracks blasting through a real speaker. Whether you're hosting gatherings this holiday season or not, a good speaker is always worth the investment. The exceptional Sonos Era 100 is one of the best speakers around, and one of our favorites overall.

CNET reviewer Ty Pendlebury hailed this compact Sonos smart speaker for its impressive sound quality and noted that it offers some serious versatility, making it a great buy. It supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Apple AirPlay connectivity for easy wireless streaming, and it has an aux and a USB-C cable input so you can connect it to TVs, turntables and other devices as well.

Plus, it's equipped with Sonos' Trueplay technology, which analyzes the acoustics of your space and automatically optimizes the EQ for the ideal listening experience. It's also equipped with a built-in microphone. It has Amazon Alexa compatibility, so you can easily control it using voice commands, check the weather, set timers or control other smart devices on your network hands-free.

Why this deal matters

Even at full price, this Sonos Era 100 is our overall favorite speaker on the market right now. It previously went down to $169, but this isn't all that far off. It's compact, versatile, delivers excellent sound and has tons of convenient smart features that make it a great addition to your home's network, especially for $189.
