Sonos Move review: Hefty portable speaker brings big Sonos sound to the outdoors
If you can live with its price and size, the Sonos Move is an excellent portable wireless speaker that expands the play area of your Sonos system. When you first encounter the Move, Sonos' first portable speaker, be prepared for something big. At 9.44 inches tall and 6.6 pounds (3 kg), it's significantly larger than the Sonos One and also costs about twice as much at $400 (£399, AU$649). When most people think portable, they think small, but the Move has some serious heft. At first blush it looks almost too nice to be an outdoor speaker.- A solid portable speaker for an existing Sonos system
- Sturdy, water-resistant, dustproof and voice-enabled (on a Wi-Fi network) with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa
- Up to 10 hours of playback
- Autotuning system calibrates to any environment
- The battery is replaceable.
- Somewhat expensive, the Move is big and hefty for a portable speaker
- Battery life can be adversely impacted by how you use it.

Sonos Move Review: Cutting cords not corners
Expectations were high for Sonos Move, the multi-room audio company's first portable, Bluetooth-compatible speaker. Dangerously high, you could argue: Sonos says its users have been asking for a completely wire-free speaker pretty much from day one, and that's plenty of time for an outlandish...- Sonos style subtly integrates ruggedization
- Sounds great
- inside and out
- Automatic Trueplay is simple and effective
- Long battery life and fast recharging
- Replaceable battery is reassuring
- Expensive for a Bluetooth speaker
- Bluetooth experience lacks some of the Sonos niceties
Sonos Move (2019) review
Even if the portability of the Move ends up a little undercut by the weight involved, the Sonos Move still up to most of its potential. If you’re after a Sonos that’ll work over Bluetooth or one that you can pick up and carry around your house, the Move is exactly that.- Portability
- Seamless to integrate
- Great audio quality
- Expensive
- Uneven design
- Charger cradle feels cheap
Quality plus
Fantastic no cords flexible and super quality sound
Sonos Move review: Sonos just burgled Google Home and drowned out Echo
Sonos Move is an entirely logical product for Sonos to bring out, in some ways . It extends Sonos' reach into your garden and beyond, albeit via Bluetooth rather than by expanding its multi-room network onto 4G.- Excellent sound
- Connects over both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
- Impressively ruggedised and water resistant
- App supports numerous streaming services
- And there's Apple AirPlay
- Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant
- too
- Unusually hefty for a 'portable' speaker
- Also unusually pricey
- though you get your money's worth
- Audio takes a little bit of a hit when on Bluetooth
Sonos Move review: house shaker, not road warrior
For the past week or so, I've been listening to music on a wireless speaker in my living room, in my kitchen, in my home office, on my patio, and even at the park. While some people might do this with a variety of different speakers, I've been using the same speaker in all of those places: Sonos'...- Loud
- full sound
- Reliable wireless connectivity
- Seamlessly integrates with other Sonos products
- Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant on board
- Sounds great indoors or out
- Pricey
- Some significant setup bugs and headaches
- Too big and heavy to travel with
- 10-hour battery life is shorter than other Bluetooth speakers
Sonos Move review: Great outdoors
Sonos has been the leading brand in wireless whole-home audio since the company effectively created the category almost 20 years ago. But in all that time, it has steadfastly refused to support Bluetooth wireless connections on its devices. Only Sonos knows all the reasons why the company held back, but that chapter is now closed. The company’s first truly portable (and Bluetooth-capable) $399 Move is here. The only remaining question is, given the considerable investment it requires, is the Move worth it? Sonos products have a reputation for superb build quality, and whether we’re talking about a Sonos One SL (formerly the Play:1) or a Sonos Sub, each speaker feels solid and substantial. The Sonos Move takes this even further. It weighs 6.6 pounds, making it over two pounds heavier than a Sonos One, and nearly twice the weight of the Ultimate Ears Megablast, a portable speaker that has many of the same features. Still, thanks to its well-designed integrated carry-handle, you can carry...- Superb build quality
- Integration with Sonos systems
- Sounds especially good outdoors
- User-replaceable battery
- Sonos app doesn’t work over Bluetooth
- Big size, big price

Sonos Move Review
The Sonos Move is a powerful multi-room smart speaker with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant voice control, as well as a durable, battery-powered design you can use anywhere. Sonos is best known for popularizing multi-room audio, and until now, none of those "rooms" have included your back patio. The Sonos Move shifts this paradigm. At $399, the Move is far from cheap, but it delivers powerful audio in a battery-powered, outdoor-friendly design. It's quite large for a portable speaker, but its size allows it to deliver some serious bass depth. Its sculpted, bass-forward sound signature may not appeal to audio purists, but there's no denying the Move's power, quality, and thoughtful design. It's a step in a new direction for Sonos, and we think it's the right one.Design Measuring 9.5 by 6.3 by 5.0 inches (HWD), the slightly rounded Move has an eggshell-like finish in black or white. Its IP56 rating means it can handle limited dust exposure, as well as water projected from any direction, though it shouldn't be submerged. In other words, poolside splashes or rain won't harm the speaker, and it can get a little dirty, too. It's also built to withstand inte...- Powerful audio with rich bass depth and bright highs
- Portable, dust- and water-resistant build
- Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant voice control
- Expensive
- Heavy
- Sculpted, mono sound signature not for everyone
