Unassuming Perfect Addition
on October 19, 2020
Posted by: Minustephen
from Chicago, IL
I've heard MANY "portable speakers" and never once considered purchasing one due to the limitations of their fidelity. With Sonos' creation of the Move, I essentially took the plunge without much thought. I'd already bought in to the Sonos family, why not add a portable speaker? While the sound still doesn't blow me away, it's light years ahead of the competition. When I show up to other people's homes and have to listen to their tiny little portable speakers in the corner, it makes me wish I'd just show up with my Move more often. Especially because it can switch to Bluetooth mode, no Wi-Fi necessary, which is a beautiful addition. Along with services like Google Assistant and AirPlay, the Move is probably my most-used speaker of all my Sonos products simply due to how versatile it is and I can't remember life before it. I didn't realize how much I wish my speaker could come with me or could be easily moved until I purchased... the Move. It's been incredibly durable, reliable and I found it easy to set up. Getting Google Assistant working was a pain (still has issues), but given my other issues with setting up Google services, I'm not inclined to fault Sonos for that. Because it's honestly incredible how easy it is to get up and playing, especially using Spotify, Apple Music or Amazon Music. The fact that Sonos openly touts its strength against heat, cold and moisture, I don't worry about the Move being in one place or another. It sounds great enough, definitely better than any competitor I've heard and if I'm ever going to give the gift of Sonos to a friend or family, I will 100% start with the Move to get their listening parties started.
Pros: Different Music, Different Rooms, Easy to Set Up, Expandable, Streams All My Music, and More, Superior Sound, Wireless
I would recommend this to a friend!

Keeping these but ended up hard wiring speakers in my yard

I use these in my backyard. I ended up running a hard wired solution to get better sound quality and coverage. I think these are expensive for what they are. For reference I spent a good bit of time as a professional sound engineer.
Pros: Expandable, Wireless
Cons: Difficult Setup, Poor Sound Quality
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Sound for my open concept small house...love it
on October 17, 2020

from Victoria, BC
I had Alexa Show and unfortunately the sound quality was not what I required when we wanted to "crank" it up and dance around the living room. I bought the Sonos Move and installed Alexa and Amazon Music and Accuradio. The sound is amazing. I love that it has a built in handle so I can lift it off it's cradle (charger) and take out into the backyard to enjoy with my friends. No complaints here. Easy setup, great sound quality for a portable speaker and love the portability.
Pros: Easy to Set Up, Expandable, Streams All My Music, and More, Superior Sound, Wireless
