Sonos Move 2 review

The Move 2 suits households that want a smart speaker indoors and a portable speaker for the yard. Sonos rates it for up to 24 hours of playback on a 3100 mAh battery, more than twice the original Move, and lists IP56 water resistance with drop-resistant materials. Two tweeters and a woofer in a sealed enclosure give stereo sound, and automatic Trueplay keeps adjusting the tuning as you move it. At home it joins a Sonos system over Wi-Fi 6, takes AirPlay 2 from Apple devices, and answers to Amazon Alexa or Sonos Voice Control. Away from Wi-Fi it switches to Bluetooth 5.3, and several Move 2 or Sonos Play speakers can group over Bluetooth for a campsite or rental. The included charging base makes it easy to keep topped up. Its weaknesses are price and bulk: at $499 it costs as much as the Era 300, and smart features depend on being back on your home network.
