Sonos Move - The durable, battery-powered Smart Speaker for Outdoor and Indoor Listening, Black

The Sonos Move is an impressive portable speaker with a lot going for it. The sound quality is top-notch, offering rich bass and clear treble. It easily fills any room, and even outdoors, it holds up well, making it great for casual listening or small gatherings. I really like the design – it’s sleek and modern while still being rugged enough to handle the outdoors. The built-in handle is a nice touch, making it easy to carry around the house or outside. It’s a bit on the heavier side, but the portability is still a big plus. The connectivity options are also solid. The ability to switch between Wi-Fi and Bluetooth is smooth, and the setup was a breeze. I love that it integrates so well with the rest of my Sonos system when I’m at home, but also works just as easily when I’m on the go via Bluetooth. If I had one critique, it would be the battery life. While it’s decent for most situations, I feel it could last a bit longer, especially for outdoor use. It works fine for shorter outings, but I do find myself needing to charge it more often than expected. Overall, the Sonos Move offers fantastic sound, design, and ease of use, with just a little room for improvement on battery life.

The Sonos Move is a superb speaker either on its own or as a multiform speaker part of the sonos network. This is a comparison with the bose portable home speaker which I also have. 1.SOUND. Sonos the sound is fantastic, bass is great, mids and highs also very good. it get very loud, there is an equaliser in the app, so you can adjust bass treble and loudness. Bose, sound is good, but I found the bass was too much even after adjusting it in the Bose music app. its also not as clear or loud as the Sonos. 2.BATTERY. I played the move at 50% volume and got 10hours and 37 minutes before it stopped playing that was when it got down to 5% on the app which I think must be a battery safeguard. Quite honestly if you were to play the move at anything above 70% then its way too loud for me. Even at 80% it does not distort.The BOSE speaker is got 9hours 25minutes on 50% volume and at 70-80% volume the bass completely ruined everything for me. 3.APPEARANCE AND PORTABILITY. both are good looking speakers the Bose is more portable because of the weight but the Sonos can be moved around quite easily. CONCLUSION. Its a no brainer for me if you want sound quality its the Sonos by a country mile, if you want portability then its the Bose. The Sonos can be paired with another move for stereo (expensive) the Bose cannot be paired for stereo. Post script. One con I have found is that the battery deletes if the speaker is not on its base ie From 100% overnight ton56% 14 hours later,will update on this. Added thoughts, Bluetooth has not been good keeps losing connection,sound also not as full as with internet connection. 8 months later and through lockdown this speaker still sounds outstanding. Battery life is good considering how often I’m 7using it. 9.5 out of ten.

Firstly, a few things to add: 1. These are not cheap and there are cheaper alternatives available. 2. I have bought into the SONOS ecosystem fully and have them in a few rooms so they were always going to be my first port of call for a portable speaker to use in the garden (mostly). With the feeling that spring has sprung and a bit of a tidy to the garden at the weekend, thoughts shifted to how nice it would be to have decent quality speakers out there. I wasn't aware of the Move and actually was originally thinking of the Roam. Bit of research later though and some mental justification of the price and I was sold on the Move. Turned up next day. Beautifully packaged and presented as always with SONOS. First impressions, it's BIG. It feels solid and it's pretty heavy. But the handle on the back means it feels good in the hand and is portable. It's not a speaker that you would chuck in the suitcase to take on holiday (that is the Roam I think) but it seems great for our plan - use it in the kitchen and walk it out into the garden when we're out there. Set up was straightforward. Had to update the app but it walks you through it all. And was working in a matter of minutes. Had read some comments about issues if you are running wifi extenders but we are running a wifi mesh and I just walked it from the bottom of the house, up 3 floors (and past 2 access points) and it worked great. Sound is very nice, as you'd expect. More base than a SONOS 1 (but to be expected as it is bigger than the 1) and I haven't played with the base / treble yet so very promising start. I'm genuinely mystified by a couple of reviews saying they were disappointed with the sound. Other than that, it does what I wanted from it. And it's a good looking unit (better than the SONOS 1 according to the other half) so will take pride of place in the kitchen and the 1 is relegated to another room.

Unschlagbarer Preis. Produkt ist wie beschrieben und funktioniert einwandfrei

Sehr schnelle und sichere Lieferung. Alles in Ordnung Super Sound!

Much better sound quality than expected, easy to set up (even though the instructions guide does not help much), versatile (you can use it with WiFi at home or with Bluetooth outside in the garden although it is somehwat heavy and it is not thought to walk with it anywhere), it has Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant built-in, battery life is fantastic, design is great. It is a bit expensive, so wait for a Black Friday offer (or similar).

Did not have a protective rubberised guard around it

This is exactly what we've been looking for. A decent portable, weatherproof speaker that connects to our current music services. Due to the larger size the sound is even better than the SONOS Play 1. Love the bluetooth function which means you can connect to the speaker when there's no wifi signal but the wifi extender tech means you can be quite a lot further from your router than most other devices and still access your music services. Great for the garden!!
