Sonos Move 2

C CNET Aashna Gheewalla · reviewer

The Sonos Move 2 is no exception. The speaker has an integrated handle, making it easy to take with you throughout the house or on the go. It’s also durable, with drop resistance and water resistance — so don’t be scared if you get a little rough with it. The speaker also features a precision-tuned woofer to provide high-quality audio with a deep, dynamic bass.

Sonos Move 2 includes an overhauled dual tweeter acoustic architecture for stereo sound, 24 hours of playback, USB-C line-in, and more. Bring heart-pumping stereo sound from room to room, outdoors, and beyond with Sonos’ most powerful portable speaker yet.

Stereo sound is a great reason to consider the Sonos Move 2. The Move 2 uses two tweeters to provide separate left and right channels in a single unit, and a precision-tuned woofer to deliver low-end frequencies. You get a higher level of separation and sonic scale than a typical portable speaker that sends all the audio through a single front channel.

The Sonos Play embraces its portability with an off-network pairing feature, meaning you can connect two to four Sonos Play (or Move 2) speakers wirelessly to create a portable multi-speaker system—perfect for filling an outdoor event space with uniformly present sound (however, we were not able to test this feature as we only received one unit).

A big move in the Move 2, is the battery life. The original Move was rated for 10-hours of playtime, and now the Move 2 is hitting a whopping 24 hours. Sonos tested the Move 2 at about 50% volume to get to 24 hours. If you’re a mellow listener, you might get more time, but if you’re a hammer the party won’t last as long.

If you love the portability of the Roam 2 but want a serious step up in power, depth, and performance, the Sonos Move 2 is the one to beat. It brings rich, room-filling stereo sound with enough weight and volume to easily handle larger gardens, patios, or open-plan spaces (all while staying completely wireless).

The base test I think its bass has lots of gravity. It sounded deep and impactful without sounding muddy because it did preserve the vibratto of the bass drops. Now, if you're a bass lover, I think the move to is going to be quite enjoyable to listen to indeed. In fact, its bass response sounds very similar to the OG Sonos Move which came out 4 years ago. Now, just a bit about the first move.

If you want a single speaker that sounds great indoors and can also move outside to a patio or backyard, the Move 2 is hard to beat at any price. But if you mostly need a speaker for hikes, beach trips, or casual outdoor use, there are far cheaper options that make more practical sense.

The Play’s biggest strength is its integration with the rest of Sonos’s ecosystem. That means it connects to your router via wifi 6 to directly stream music from the internet controlled via the Sonos app, Spotify Connect or Apple AirPlay 2.

Sound quality is where the Play really earns its price tag. With angled tweeters, a mid‑woofer, and force‑cancelling passive radiators, it produces a wider soundstage than you’d expect from a speaker this size. Vocals stay clean, bass is controlled, and the automatic Trueplay tuning helps it adapt to different environments.

The biggest strength of the Move 2 is its sound quality.

The biggest upgrade with the Move 2 is its acoustic design. Instead of the previous generation's single tweeter, Sonos uses two tweeters to create a wider stereo sound stage. That means vocals and instruments should have better separation. While the precision-tuned woofer provides the deep, dynamic bass Sonos is known for. This makes the Move 2 more than just a casual portable Bluetooth speaker.

But it is also heavy, expensive, and best suited for people already interested in the Sonos ecosystem.

It’s way louder than the Roam but only 80% of the Move 2. The Bass does drop off around 80%. But still nice and clear at 100%. And now that it’s waterproof even better. Especially because we have a pool. I will definitely be taking the Play with me on trips. It’s the perfect size, I felt the Move 2 was just to Big and heavy. (The Play it is on the heavier side).

While technically portable, the Sonos Move 2 is probably not your first choice for taking on the go, despite the IP56 rating.

Premium price. The Sonos Move 2 is an investment, but the quality you get is truly next level. A little heavier. At a little over 6 lb, it's more of a move around the house and backyard speaker than a throw in your backpack speaker. Alexa and Sonos voice only. It's optimized for Alexa and Sonos voice control.

New features are mediocre, battery life improvement is nice. The missing features are crucial, removal of google assistant to control my smart home is a deal breaker. Same waterproof rating, and nearly the exact same design is also disappointing. Sadly after waiting, the Move 1 is the better option for me than the update that took 4 years.

At 7.57-inches tall and weighing just 1.3kg, the Sonos Play is arguably more obviously a portable speaker than the Sonos Move 2. Although the Sonos Move 2 is praised for its lift-and-move convenience, at 9.49-inches and weighing a heftier 3kg, the Sonos Play is definitely more of an appealing option for travelling.

G Gino Tech Reviews LTKing2013 · owner · Dec 2023

In another YouTube review, the guy said the Move 2 needed a lot of space to sound good and it wouldn't sound good in a smaller room. I'm very concerned about room size and distance to the rear wall. I notice you even used the Move 2 in the middle of the room which is not practical for me.

Its size, weight, and steep price mean it suits buyers who specifically want premium sound and deep Sonos integration in a portable form. Budget-minded users or those wanting something truly lightweight may be better served by smaller speakers or non-portable Sonos models.
