This morning Sonos announced a pair of speakers. The Era 100 is a $249 stereo system that replaces the popular One speaker in the company’s lineup. The $449 Era 300, on the other hand, is an entirely new entry, focused on bringing the emerging world of spatial audio to the product line.
We had the opportunity to demo the upcoming products at a press event in New York City a few weeks back. After seeing how the speakers work, we sat down with Patrick Spence, who marked five years as CEO back in January. We discussed the emergence of spatial audio, the state of the smart home, and how a seemingly endless stream of lawsuits between Sonos and Google impact its day to day.
