Perfect terrance companion

I was looking for some battery powered speaker to use on my terrace. I had previously some other brand Bluetooth speaker that was fine but lacked ability to connect to service and play without phone streaming to it. Then SONOS released Move. Pictures didn't justify its size and sound is perfect for outdoor listening. Setup is very easy even when you reconfigure your wifi environment (that happened to me and reconnecting Move to new wifi was a breeze). Love the fact that I can start streaming and stop worrying about having my phone streaming to it. It's funny because one time I left it on terrace playing quietly for whole night - I just forgot to take it inside. Being weather proof is perfect and charging from charging station works perfectly and is super convenient.
Pros: Easy to Set Up, Streams All My Music, and More, Wireless
I would recommend this to a friend!

10/10 for ease of use, 6/10 for sound quality.

Sonos Move delivers exactly the functionality I wanted - a portable speaker that plays in perfect sync with the rest of my Sonos systems. It's particularly useful for outdoor living, where it's very difficult for me to add permanent speakers. The Move plays along with the music inside and creates one seamless sound experience. The downside is a bass response so muddy that I keep thinking something is wrong with the speaker. I play at very modest volumes, nothing louder than a conversation really. But the bass range is just a murky mess. By comparison the portable bluetooth Bose speaker we already have, which is a quarter the size of this unit, plays with crisper sound and far clearer bass notes. The Sonos lover who got me to install my whole-house system was excited to hear the Move, thinking he'd buy one. He remarked within 30 seconds that the sound seemed really off, and wondered if the woofer was blown. It's not - this is just how it sounds. I've adjusted the EQ to emphasize treble and de-emphasize bass. I've kept Loudness turned off. It works, and still gets lots of use even in my home office. It just doesn't get lots of love for the sound quality.
Pros: Easy to Set Up, Expandable, Wireless
Cons: Poor Sound Quality
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Cons: Difficult Setup, Difficult to Use, Unreliable
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
