I bought this product to use on my back deck. I have used there and also in my garage and front porch when working in those areas. With a local system I don't have my living room Beam blaring music so I can hear it outside....Love this product

We have had an entire Sonos system for about 8 years now. Added the move to replace the retired 5 we had in the kitchen. We were aware we needed to update to S2 with this device. What a piece of garbage. Since then, our system has never been stable. Half the time this, and many of our other speakers, cannot be found on the system. We've tried customer support. We've tried the sequence to find or even add the speakers again. We're fed up. We bought this to have music outside this summer. Instead, we Usually have no music at all. Do not buy this, or any of the other speakers since they've ruined what used to be an incredible system.
We brought the Move out to the lake and the audio has been great and is not only appreciated by my family but also friends that have commented "what a great speaker" while we sat around the campfire.
Pros: Bluetooth, Easy to Set Up, Streams All My Music, and More, Wireless
Love the Move speaker. Haven't had the time to install an outdoor speaker setup. This is a great alternative for me. The flexibility of wifi or Bluetooth is invaluable, can take it on trips etc and stream from my phone. The wifi strength is excellent. I've positioned it 75+ feet from nearest wifi extender and it still plays (though beyond 75' does cut out at points). The sound is great, wish it was just a bit louder but definitely fits my needs outdoor by the pool. For larger gatherings if needed I can stereo pair it w/ another Sonos speaker to bolster it. I'd compare the sound to that of a Play 3, maybe just a hair weaker. Definitely not as strong as a Play 5. But it's a totally wireless speaker! Not as small as the major competitors but sound is much better/stronger.
We didn't want to pay $3,000 to extend our surround sound to living room and patio so opted for the Sonos Move. It is great for our uses. We can have the Move on in the living room in addition to our Sonos surround sound in family room/kitchen. Very happy with our purchase.
