The expensive Move has good sound even outdoors. Battery life is acceptable but not outstanding. I do not like that it only can connect to one wi-fi without a total reset - I have two homes plus would like to take it when visiting other places with wi-fi. That leads to the next issue. When away from my home wi-fi it will stream via bluetooth from a phone, etc, but the MY SONOS favorites, radio stations, playlists are not available. What you can stream via bluetooth is only what your phone or other bluetooth device can access from outside the SONOS app. This to me is a huge omission in the Move's capability. Even when on bluetooth I would expect the phone's SONOS app to bring my streaming SONOS content to the Move, even my private content residing on my personal web-accessible media server. (i.e., Plex)
Pros: Different Music, Different Rooms, Easy to Set Up, Expandable, Free Control Options, Streams All My Music, and More, Superior Sound, Wireless
Great product. Although i find it hard to connect to different devices and switch between apps etc. Google assistant is not great and does not turn off when asked.
This is the best all around purchase I've made in a long time. The sound is AWESOME. I use it much more the I anticipated. I use it with my phone or Alexia. In the house and easlily take it to me porch or out to the back to have while enjoying company around the fire-pit. We hae taken it camping and on to the Beach. We travel with it also. It Amazing and has been with us in the cold, the damp nite air, light rain and of course great sunny days. Love the Move.

Charge lasts as long as we are on the porch. Can also easily grab the speakers and take them down to the lake front Easy to take them with us on our motor home trips

I may be borderline technically challenged. Wi-Fi connectivity issue have always plagued me. My different wi-fi capable products seem to have a mind of their own and having different wi-fi's make it more challenging. None the less, my new sonos move would not connect with my wi-fi and it took about 4 hours of my time with two different technical support individuals to correct the issue. So be forewarned, if you are looking for a simple plug and play unit for mostly bluetooth use, there are simpler alternatives.
