The King and Queen of Atmos Music - Apple Homepod vs Sonos Era 300

After some extension listening between the Apple Homepods and the Sonos Era 300s, I have made a clearer decision on them. Again, I am stuck with both speakers. I can't sell one for the other. But there is a distinct winner when it comes to music, and another winner for movies. Hear me out...

Or you could just use the Youtube Super Thanks button below the video to drop me a small donation! Thank you all!

Now, only if you really find value! Even if you don’t contribute, I am happy to share my experience with all you viewers on my channel here!

Your videos are far and away the best of the bunch. Amazing effort and the effort you put into your videos.

Keep up the great work Peter. Love my 300s. Bought the pre-order thanks to your reviews!

Love the color co-ordination of this video, the shadows and contrasting is awesome, watching on oled is just bliss. Very nice comparison and looking forward to watching more videos!

Great review! Excited for my Era 300 to arrive

Would love to see how Era 300 with sub and sub mini stack up against the rest of the line up

[daibeee]

Are you able to compare a pair of Era 300 vs Sonos Five for the music performance?🙏🏼🙏🏼

The Dolby atmos and 3D sound from my era300 is mind blowing. The sound really comes from top as if I have the speakers connected on the ceiling wall.

I use HomePod mini as the smart hub for my home with the Sonos Arc and Sub gen 3. The ERA 300s are on their way and I’m excited and glad I get to enjoy them.

You can set up the Era300 as temporary sound outputs for the Apple TV and they should play movies in dolby atms (there is a video from Stephen Robles where it shows that at min 7:40 called “Sonos Era 300 and Era 100 In-Depth Review vs. HomePod 2!”). It would be interesting to check how they perform in movies when set up that way vs the homepods

Another amazing video from Peter Pee - I knew that the previous one was just a quick taster. I think Era 300 are great for Apple Music users, actually once I upgrade I will subscribe to Apple Music because Spotify does not support Atmos

[sempre_sid]

I'd actually like for you to go into that sub gen 3 / sub-min rabbit hole with 300s and share your thoughts. Thanks.
Lookin forward to it. Cheers!

Yet another home run Peter! Keep up the great reviews. I'm rocking my 7.2.4 set up with the new era 300's !

Thank you for your extensive videos and guiding my through my Sonos journey your engagement with your viewers is truly amazing based on your reviewers I Just got myself a pair of Eras to to replace my Play Fives can't wait to truly have Prue ATMOS call me a sucker for Sonos but they are have evolved my Listening experience dramatically So now I have the Sonos ARC + SUB 3 PLUS 2 Eras 300s not sure what to do with my Play Fives since I also started my ARC with Play ones whew im way too invested in SONOS but I love it !

[tcchuin]

What if you are playing stereo music, how does HomePod vs era300 sound like to you ?

[dabax]

two homepods or one era? price seems similar in singapore, only 50 bucks between them. good job on the video!

[deonh]

Thank you Peter for all the detail and for always going the extra mile to give us all the info! 🙏🏼
I’m a Beam gen 2 owner but also heavily invested in the  ecosystem so this was an important video for me building a new house - thank you! You sir, deserve so many more subscribers for all the effort and time you put into your content.

HomePod doesn’t technically have upward firing speakers however the tweeters arranged at the bottom of the speaker are angled upwards

[JoyStickJester_]

FYI Sonos just dropped an update for the Era 100 and 300 this morning.

[walidhannaoui]

I been saying since the HomePods came out that they just sound over processed and it’s exhausting to listen to

[jetlagfrias]

Nice. For music listening alone. Pair of 300 vs. Pair of 100 plus sub mini?

[Marekovar]

Peter, my friend, our world needs to be saved. Please bring light into Era 300 usage as a surround speaker. Where is the best position to optimal listening position? Should be placed towards it or just facing forward if wallmounted? Is it true that if used as surround front speaker is off? There is a lot of questions and my Era is on the way and I need answers before I wallmount it.
