The sound on these rock! I rate them 4.75...would be 5 but had to do some testing on the best way to conserve battery life when not used for a few days as it wasn't totally clear in the setup Sonos furnishes (I have found fully charging them, taking them off the power cradle and doing a hard shut down (hold power button for 5 sec) is the best verses keeping them on the stands at the ready (unless of course they are constantly in use)...Never been a big fan of keeping any battery powered electronics (phone, or) on a charger any longer than necessary). I have 2 Moves, paired them and use them on the patio, 'move' them to a bedroom or wherever I want/need music. They pair well with other Sonos speakers as well. Been a fan of Sonos for some time...not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for. I also have a pair of Play 5's, Play 1's, the Moves, and I push music to my main system/Paradigm studio speakers. Music, high quality music, throughout the house...wish this stuff was available back in the '70.
Pros: Different Music, Different Rooms, Expandable, Streams All My Music, and More, Superior Sound, Wireless
Cons: Not difficult to set up but Could be improved
We are enjoying the portability and ease of use of this device needless to say amazing sound. A long time so no shoes or have no complaints about this product as well. Definitely great value for the price paid.

I'm finding that I have to often reconnect the Move most times I want to use it. Drag. Also, sometimes I find that it's still on after turning it off (or maybe it automatically turns on again when put back on the base to charge). For the price tag, I'd expect those things to be worked out. But really, I could live with all that if the quality of the sound blew me away and it just doesn't. Too much in the low frequencies (and that's coming from someone that LOVES bass and often tweaks that up in the mix) and can sound muddy with the way some tracks are mastered. One should be able to make adjustments to this (like one can in a car stereo). Perhaps Sonos will develop that and double the price on the next model.
Really nice product sounded better than I was expecting.

I am very impressed with my Sonos unit and had planned to purchase several more for the house. I looked at used ones but was surprised to find units that are only 4 years old and are already unsupported. I would not buy any additional units until I find out the expected lifespan.
