![]() With the Sonos you can use Sonos’s own voice assistant which is going to allow you to control your speaker with just your voice… or you can also use Alexa. The only voice assistant that you can use with the HomePod is Siri… cause its apple, duh. Next up there’s the voice assistants on these speakers. Where as with the Sonos, if you have a Sonos soundbar like either an Arc or a beam gen 2, then you can use 2 of the same Sonos speakers as rear satellite speakers… and with the bose, you can’t actually use your bose speaker as a part of your home theater set up if you have a bose soundbar… but you can use it to play music in sync. However, with the HomePod, if you were to get 2 HomePods and if you were to get an apple TV, you can always use them as a home theaters set up, which I am told is pretty underwhelming. But with these other two speaker, you can only use them wirelessly. However, in order for you to use a wired connection with this speaker, you have the buy the USB C to audio jack adaptor, which is sold separately, and I think that’s just ridiculous. Now continuing on the topic of connectivity, the Sonos is the only speaker here that you can use a wired connection with it. ![]() And personally I think having bluetooth on your smart speaker is important, cause this way, if you want to share your speaker with someone, you don’t have to give them your wifi password. Now I know that it sounds very basic that im having to point out that you can connect to either the Sonos or Bose with Bluetooth… but this is a big deal for Sonos cause this is actually new for Sonos. The bose has airplay 2 support so you can stream music to it if your iPhone is connected to the same wifi network as your speaker… but the bose also has chrome cast support, so you can also stream music to it if you’re using an android device. Now the Sonos is also best used with an iPhone cause it also mainly relies on airplay to stream music to it… but you can still use an android device with the Sonos cause you can either download the Sonos app on your phone and stream music to it through the Sonos app… or you can connect to the Sonos speaker by using bluetooth.īut then theres the bose which plays nice with both iPhone and android. With the HomePod, this is a speaker that is best used with an iPhone especially cause of it heavy Siri integration, and cause you can only stream music to it with airplay. Now first I think its super important that we talk about connectivity. Nonetheless, if you want to pick any of these speakers up they’ll be linked down below. Now I do expect the bose to go on sale from time to time… but the HomePod and sonos… not so much. Now this speaker does cost more than these other two speakers cause it has a built in battery. And finally there’s the Bose Portable smart speaker which is the oldest speaker here and it retails for $400. Next up there’s the HomePod Gen 2 which retails for $300. Regarding pricing, the Era 100 is the most affordable speaker here retailing for $250. ![]() Nonetheless lets see how the Sonos Era 100 stacks up to the HomePod Gen 2 and the Bose Portable smart speaker. Now the Era 100 doesn’t have dolby atmos support, but its still a great sounding speaker. So the Sonos Era 100 was announced along side the larger Sonos Era 300 which has dolby atmos support.
