A few reviews I've seen have mentioned that the Era 300 looks bulkier in photos than in real life. So there's that.
Sonos has always been a favourite brand because they understood the need for privacy with their microphone-banishing SL lines.
Unlike Apple, which has apparently let the CCP influence their previous privacy-first focus in their products. (There are multiple mics in just about everything Apple ships nowadays, and AFAIK only the MacBooks have a hard switch to deactivate them when the shell is closed.)
So I was disappointed to learn that the Era line wouldn't have 'SL' versions. Hopefully, a teardown will confirm that the microphone switch on the Era is a hardware switch, does not allow the possibility of software switching on the mics remotely.
