The app update was fucking terrible, but it's not the absolute mess it was originally (it's still sluggish at times, but I haven't had it outright fail me in a couple of months). Ultimately, I still find Sonos to be better for me than alternatives because the sound truly is good, and the ease of setting up a home theater wirelessly that I can also use to play my records is unmatched by any alternatives. As bad as Sonos's new app launch was, they still don't have a good competitor doing quite what they do.

The speakers support AirPlay and the newer model of speakers support Bluetooth. I don't think any of them support Aux.

The newer era speakers, and the five have audio in.

Ah, through USB-C? That didn't occur to me.

Through an audio jack.

Mine do not have an audio jack.

What model do you have?

The five and era 100 both say they have a line in on the website.

I have two Era 100s purchased in December 2024. I have looked the entire thing over - if there is line-in, it must be through USB-C, there is no aux port.
