Sonos Move 2 Wireless Portable Bluetooth Speaker – Review

Premium Sound That Moves Wherever You Do

A portable speaker is most useful when you don’t have to compromise on sound, battery life and flexibility. The Sonos Move 2 is designed to fill that gap, with spacious stereo sound in a portable speaker that can be used indoors or out.
The Move 2 features two angled tweeters and precision-tuned midwoofer for stereo separation and deep, dynamic bass. Sonos’ Automatic Trueplay technology automatically tunes the sound to the room environment, so there’s no need to manually re-tune it if you move it from the living room to your patio.

Built for Longer Listening

One of its big advantages is battery life. The Move 2, according to Sonos, can play continuously for up to 24 hours on one charge. When you’re done, you can place it on the included charging base, rather than plugging a cable into the speaker each time. Sonos This is good for long afternoons on the patio, backyard get-togethers, working around the house, or just moving music from room to room.

Ready for Indoor and Outdoor Spaces

The Move 2 carries an IP56 water- and dust-resistance rating. Sonos says its enclosure is designed to handle dust, moisture, rain, bumps, and everyday outdoor use. It isn’t a speaker you should deliberately submerge in water, but its construction makes it much more suitable for patios and outdoor gatherings than a conventional indoor-only smart speaker.  Connectivity is another strength. You can stream over WiFi or Bluetooth, while Apple AirPlay 2 is supported for compatible Apple devices. Voice functionality includes Sonos Voice Control and Amazon Alexa, although service availability can vary by country and language.

Where Can You Use It?

The Move 2 works particularly well in living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, home offices, patios, decks, backyards, poolside areas away from direct immersion, and outdoor gatherings.  Its combination of WiFi and Bluetooth makes it especially convenient for people who want one speaker that can move between their home network and outdoor listening.Overall, the Move 2 makes the most sense for someone who values premium stereo sound, long battery life, smart-home connectivity, and indoor/outdoor flexibility in one portable speaker.
