I bought the move to be able to use in two different home locations. We have a small place in the city and cabin a few hours away we spend most weekends. I wanted to be able to have a portable speaker that stayed connected to our system and move it where ever it was needed (typically one of the outdoor areas or porches) without having to be hardwired or be kept outside year round. Pros - the sound is better than I hoped for. Even just the one speaker sounds great and fills our outdoor spaces. Last weekend we set up an outdoor projector and played a movie from my Iphone - we ran the sound through the bluetooth option on the Move and it worked fantastic and filled the air for 6 people around the campfire watching the movie. Cons - setup - Right out of the box, the Move was not fully functional. I was able to connect to my existing SONOS and play music right away but I could not get it to switch over to Bluetooth or even get the button to turn blue. After an hour of frustration, I decided to see if the software was up to date via the SONOS app and apparently it wasn't. Once I updated, everything worked seamlessly and I was a happy camper. I wish SONOS would have included updating instruction in order to have your product ready to go as expected. The speaker is a bit heavier but I am ok with that as I am moving it around and want some weight to it to ensure it doesn't fall or get knocked over depending on where it is. Also, a better carrying case would be nice. All in all, I love it though and would definitely consider another.
Pros: Streams All My Music, and More, Superior Sound, Wireless
Love our Sonos Move! I take it with me everywhere! Amazing sound, volume, and versatility! Only issue, is when you are off WiFi and try to switch to Bluetooth it can act weird. If you know you won't be near WiFi with it I would recommend switching it to Bluetooth before leaving your WiFi area.
Pros: Different Music, Different Rooms, Easy to Set Up, Expandable, Free Control Options, Streams All My Music, and More, Superior Sound, Wireless
We use this in our kitchen, on the front porch and in our backyard. It sounded good out of the box, and after a couple of weeks has really opened up. ALAC and Tidal premium files sound great! We recently took it with us out of town and we now know of two more people who will be purchasing it. Great product Sonos!!

Use frequently around the house and outside where my sonos system isn't. The internal wifi extender within the Move makes it great for areas that might have been outside of the range previously. Love the sound quality and auto true play when I relocate it. Drops off of the S2 app constantly and makes setting up multiroom super frustrating. (so frustrating to have to problem solve / reset it daily) All my other wifi devices are available 100% of the time and seamlessly connect and are manipulatable for multi-room play. When it works - its a perfect score
Pros: Different Music, Different Rooms, Superior Sound, Wireless
Cons: Difficult to Use, Drops from S2 app, Unreliable
