Not a bad speaker

I use the 'Move' outside all the time to stream my music . The sound quality is perfect even at the loudest level(10). No distortion at all. The voice activation is a plus also. There are no controls for bass & treble but the natural blend is at a superb quality. My only concern is I do wish I could get more volume out of it. It's quite loud but every once in a while I enjoy blasting my music. I got it at a great price just under $300.00. I might have been upset paying $400.00 that it generally goes for. If you like quality (sound) over quantity (volume) then it is a great pickup.
Pros: Easy to Set Up, Streams All My Music, and More, Superior Sound, Volume at 10 does not distort, Wireless
Big full sound in any room. The mic on the speaker adapts to any room size or outside. Super easy to set up and it's a great portable speaker. Did I mention the sound is awesome .
Pros: Easy to Set Up, Expandable, Streams All My Music, and More, Superior Sound, Wireless
First of all, the speaker sounds great. The app works just fine, and I'm sure it's easy to connect to other Sonos speakers. However, the main reason we got this speaker is because it has Google built in and I assumed you could connect it to Google speaker groups. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. You can connect it to Google speakers but YOU CANNOT CREATE A SPEAKER GROUP WITH ANY OTHER SMART SPEAKERS. I think you can airplay with apple, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it with Google or Alexa and from what I can see online it's not possible. I'm sure it's not just Sonos but I am extremely disappointed that they make this so difficult because there is no reason it should be.
Pros: Streams All My Music, and More, Superior Sound
Great upgrade from Amazon speakers. Really like the mobility option as well as use for Alexa commands. The only downside with the third party app is that it does not pick up voice commands as easily (more microphones needed?) as well as for some radio stations (i.e. Bloomberg) it does not stop when asked but goes on to the next broadcast.
I really really wanted to love this product. Just bought it on Black Friday but it's not usable. Pick an issue and I've had it: won't turn on, won't connect, randomly turns on by itself. Finally got it to turn on and now it's stuck in WiFi only mode and I can't connect any Bluetooth device to it. For $400 this is a huge disappointment.
Pros: Superior Sound
Cons: Difficult Setup, Difficult to Use, Unreliable
