Worth it, if it stays indoors
Worth it or skip it?

Skip it if
- You need battery power or water/weather resistance, since neither is supported.
Key facts
Connection optionsIt supports wireless streaming plus a wired source such as a turntable.

Buy on AmazonOn the shelf
A Sonos Era 100 SL sits on a shelf, plugged in, while streaming music wirelessly or taking a wired turntable source.
The useful distinction
Its stereo tabletop design uses dual angled tweeters and a midwoofer, while WiFi, Bluetooth and line-in cover wireless streaming and wired sources. Trueplay tunes it to the room. The trade-off is simple: this is corded indoor equipment, not a water-resistant portable speaker.
Think shelf speaker and the fit is clear; think battery or weather resistance and it is not the one.
Before you choose

Yes. It connects via WiFi or Bluetooth and also offers line-in for wired sources such as a turntable.
Can I use it outdoors or somewhere it might get wet?
No. It is listed as not water resistant, so it is intended for indoor, dry-area use.
