That's not to dismiss the merits of Bluetooth.
Of course, that's also possible with a Bluetooth speaker, but the advantage of using Sonos' system is that streaming over Wi-Fi is much higher quality, and you won't be interrupted each – bleep! – time that – ping! – you receive a notification to your phone, building playlists on-the-fly with multiple people queueing songs from their collections, and the ability to synchronise playback across multiple speakers scattered throughout the house. Unless you've invested in a Sonos One for every room of the house, the Sonos Move is a convenient way to bring your music with you as you move around. but not without the hassle of unplugging the speaker and finding a new outlet each time we wanted to move it around between coats of paint. Of course, this would've been feasible with a Sonos One. This meant that, while redecorating a few rooms over the course of a weekend, we were able to lift and carry around the Sonos Move with us as we made progress with our paintbrushes – all without interrupting the playlist streaming across the Move and a Sonos One in another room. If the Sonos Move remains connected to your Wi-Fi network, it'll continue to work like any other Sonos speaker.
Sonos has built a handle into the back of the Move, so it's simple to lift the speaker from its charging cradle and take it anywhere with you. While it's possible to recharge the Sonos Move with any USB-C cable (handy when you're travelling with the speaker) the wireless charging dock, which lets you pick up and drop the speaker to recharge is a nice luxury to have. That's not the case with the more affordable Sonos Roam, with Sonos charging an extra £44 for the wireless charger in its store. It's worth noting that Sonos bundles the wireless charger for the Sonos Move in the box. You'll be able to start streaming to the speaker from the Sonos app, combine the Sonos Move with any speakers that are already playing, and wirelessly beam lossless audio using Apple AirPlay to the Move too. When the Sonos Move is nestled in its wireless charging cradle, it works exactly like a Sonos One or Sonos Five. Volume can be adjusted for all speakers simultaneously or individually from the brilliant Sonos companion app on iPhone, iPad, Windows, Mac and Android. Like the more affordable Sonos Roam, the Sonos Move is designed to fit seamlessly into any Sonos home audio system.Īs such, you'll be able to synchronise playback on the Sonos Move and other speakers throughout the house or use these connected speakers to play from a different audio source in every room. But the Sonos Move is designed to do it all – and much more. Highly recommended.įor most people, listening to your favourite radio station in the kitchen, catching up on a podcast while tidying the bedroom, and streaming your favourite playlist over a picnic in the park requires at least two different gadgets. Sonos Move offers superb sound quality, pairs perfectly with existing Sonos speakers, boasts a gorgeous (and surprisingly durable) design, and flexible ways to stream music wirelessly. If we're nitpicking, we'd like to see a few more colour options, like the more affordable Sonos Roam, but that's not a major issue. With far-field microphones for Alexa and Google Assistant, the Move also doubles up as a smart speaker that lets you control lightbulbs, thermostats, video doorbells, and control music playback with a quick voice command. If you're heavily invested in the Sonos ecosystem and want to take phenomenal sound quality on the road with you, Sonos Move is a brilliant choice. If you're looking for a single speaker to listen around the house and take anywhere with you, Sonos Move ticks all of those boxes.Īlthough, with a price tag of £399, the Move isn't the cheapest portable speaker on store shelves. The Sonos Move sounds stunning, whether you're blasting your favourite playlist, listening intently to a podcast or audiobook, or streaming the radio.Ĭombining the smarts we've come to expect from Sonos with the flexibility of both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth streaming and a durable, IP56 water-resistant case, it's not difficult to see why the Sonos Move is one of the best Sonos speaker deals out there. Like the brilliant Sonos Roam, the Sonos Move offers a huge amount of flexibility – with its water-resistant case making it a perfect choice for pool and beach parties, while its stylish minimalist design looks superb back at home too. Sonos Move is one of just two speakers from the popular US brand that works inside and outside of your home.
