 This is a fascinating speaker. It's really unlike anything I've ever experienced from Sonos before. First of all, just the way that it looks is it's it's kind of like somebody took a an oval, you know, three-dimensional oval speaker and put a belt in the middle of it and cinched it up. It's kind of got this hourglass kind of shape to it. And what's interesting is the the it sort of sits on its side so when you're facing it you see this oval view. You look down and you see the hourglass. The front of it is a speaker grill and then the back half of the hourglass part is also a speaker grill and this thing's got a ton of different speakers inside it because as a single speaker it is built to do like multi-channel sound. It will play Dolby Atmos music and it's it's fascinating. You know when I started using this I you know the first thing I played was an Atmos version of Tom Petty's Free Fallen which starts with that kind of chimie acoustic guitar and it sounded like that was coming from behind the speaker. It was like oh wait this is really interesting and then when the band kicked in that was in front of the speaker and this thing's tiny. It sounds way bigger than it is. Five free you know standing five feet away from it. It sounds very deep like the depth of where the sound is coming from sounds much farther away than the speaker where I know the speaker to be and can see with my eyes ten feet away from it. It sounds like there are two speakers ten feet apart right the way that it sort of sends sound out to the side and you can set the height of it. Out of the box the low end of this speaker wasn't huge. It was it was kind of tame and almost lacking a little but Sonos has this thing called TruePlay where you tune the speaker to your room with the era that with with the initial version of TruePlay which is what exists on most of their speakers you use your iPhone and walk around the room like waving your phone up and down like it's some kind of divine look like a crazy person. Yeah right like it's like I'm looking for water you know whatever with my phone up and down for for 60 seconds. It's a fascinating exercise but it's and during that time the speaker is like sending all sorts of sounds out right you know and and your phone's picking them up and it knows that it's moving around because your iPhone has a gyroscope in it and so it tunes the speaker to your room and that works great it's it's amazing. You can do that with the era 300 but you can also let the speaker tune itself to the room so I thought well let me just do that because it like the HomePod you know it has microphones in it for Sonos voice and and the A-Lady and all that stuff so I let it tune itself to the room it did that and then suddenly the low end was exactly where I wanted it to be it was great it's so like really interesting speaker and like I said it it does have voice control it can be used as your rear speakers if you have like a Sonos ARC or something for in your living room but by itself it is not a speaker that can be used easily with your TV you could probably route things around and force it to be but it's certainly not meant to be used that way uh but as I have I don't I only have one of them so I can't try it as rear speakers but it would be cool to to to use it as rears and see how far away it makes like the the the rear sound so I might I might have to grab another one yeah but it's it's really interesting it's you know where they've got speakers sort of all around this thing it's 450 bucks for I have the price right on that 449 yep in the US and and you can read it now that's awesome yeah pre-answered my question that's awesome because I thought the ARC about three days ago with the move and I was like oh yeah six or eight feet away from me and I'm like that is an amazing speaker the low end on that is awesome but this sounds like it's even more technologically advanced and it is but you wouldn't you could use it outside I don't think they would say that it's waterproof I'm pretty sure they haven't uh although it might be they say it's humidity resistant which is important the where's the move you can drop it can rain on it and all that stuff right well and the move is also a battery powered speaker this is not this needs to be plugged in so it's it's a little different where I would where I would use this is in like a bedroom or a an office or some you know some or in your kitchen right where you're going to be listening to music a lot and you want to have put one speaker in and have it sort of fill the room that's where this is is key to me is that it could go in the living room if you using something different to watch TV you know and you want this as your you know music listening kind of you know in the study the family room that that sort of thing um it's it's really it's a I'm impressed with this thing yeah yeah it it I didn't know what to think about it and and then I pressed play and it was like oh okay that's pretty cool so yeah yet again Sonos kind of impresses me which I didn't know I didn't know that they could do so yeah sounds like it's uh taking the Bose wave technology and and crushing it on top well not not taking their technology but improving upon what they were doing yes yes and making making it more more better yeah
