I wanted a great sounding mobile unit that could be used around the house and outside along with trips to the beach etc. I also want it to work smoothly with Google Home as I am well invested in it. Upside - Adaptive sound and quality as you move to different environments is amazing! The easy mobility with charging base that you just sit the Move on with no plug/unplug is great. Big Downside - Sonos does not play well with google home like JBL and other devices do. It is not a speaker that you can play directly to or use in a speaker group. The Sonos App is a real pain in the neck to use. There is no direct connection between YouTube Music app and the Sonos Move so no quick access to mixes that will auto play. If you can deal with the cumbersome Google integration then I recommend it for its high quality, adaptable sound and easy portability.
Sound not as good as the Sonos One speakers we have in our house so we tried to pair up a friends Move speaker while at the beach. Apparently you have to have a Wireless Network to make two Move speakers work in Stereo. Not good if you "Move" to a remote location. Hopefully Sonos will come up with a solution involveing some software to have a couple of Move speakers work in stereo by Bluetooth only.
I absolutely love the flexibility of being able to move the music from one room to the other with ease. The speaker is quite heavy though. Bass is superb as well! I've got the Arc and two Sonos ones and the Move helps to add even more booming bass without having to get the subwoofer (just yet)!!
Pros: Easy to Set Up, Streams All My Music, and More, Superior Sound, Wireless
The outdoor sound quality of this unit is hard to beat...it's has crisp highs and thumping lows. I used this to replace a Bose portable home and it's an clear upgrade in my opinion. Would absolutely recommend for someone that wants to "invest" in solid portable outdoor sound. The battery being replaceable means this isn't just a throw away unit!
