Sonos Move 2 review: Power, performance and portability

The Sonos Move 2 is all about refinements, and those refinements add up to some big improvements over the original Move. The adjustments to its design make it more intuitive to use, whilst also bringing some extra features, and the upgrades to the acoustic architecture make for a better sounding speaker overall. The Move 2 isn't as portable as the Roam, but it is more powerful with better sound performance. On the flip side, it's not as capable as the Era 300 in terms of sound performance, but it is more versatile, whilst still offering many of the same features, like USB-C line-in and Bluetooth.

Sonos Move 2 Review

The Move 2 improves upon with predecessor with stereo audio and longer battery life, making it the best Sonos speaker for listening to music outside. We gave the original $399 Sonos Move high marks for pairing the company's Wi-Fi-based streaming experience with an outdoor-friendly, Bluetooth-capable design. The $449 Move 2 costs more and drops Google Assistant support, but dual tweeters give it the advantage of stereo sound, and it lasts more than twice as long as the original on battery. Beyond this, this smart speaker benefits from hands-free Alexa and Sonos Voice Control, as well as the intuitive Sonos app, which smoothly handles everything from multiroom setup to music streaming. Thanks to its robust stereo audio and longer battery life, the Move 2 is an easy recommendation for Sonos users who want to listen both indoors and out. For inside-only listeners, however, the Sonos Era 300 offers more power and Dolby Atmos support for the same price, earning it our Editors' Choice award.A Familiar Design With Upgraded Tweeters Available in matte black, olive (green), or white, the 6.6-pound Move 2 measures 9.5 by 6.3 by 5.0 inches...
