Sonos Era 100 vs Bose Lifestyle Ultra Speaker

The Sonos Era 100 and the Bose Ultra Lifestyle Speaker are both smart speakers intended for home use that integrate into a wider product ecosystem. While there are trade-offs between them in terms of performance and features, your buying decision can easily be influenced by whether you own any compatible Sonos or Bose products already, as they can both slot in as rear speakers with compatible soundbars. That said, if you're looking for a one-and-done home speaker, the Sonos offers better directivity and a room calibration tool that tunes the sound to your room. The Bose on the other hand can get louder and offers wired playback options via its aux port. That said, both speakers cover the bread-and-butter features of a home speaker well, offering Wi-Fi support and solid voice assistant implementation.
