Lovely addition to my soundbar, surround setup. Really good particularly for wandering outside or to the basement and playing the same or different music than the soundbar. Really odd setup compatibility with my port, though that negated use for many days. Ended up taking days to sort w Sonos support, and ended up requiring going to SonosNet vs straight WiFi.

I've been a user of Sonos for many years and am now up to 17 speakers throughout my home (and building). Aside from the brand new models, I have pretty much listened to every make and model. The Move has been an amazing asset to their portfolio due to it's connection flexibility and weather proofing. The sound, as expected, is great. My only criticism of Sonos in general has been the communication signal. BUT, I believe that I've finally resolved this through a combination of placement and having at least one hardwired. The opportunity now lies in some latency issues within the controller application. When you're adding 10+ speakers to a group, it takes some time (10s of seconds, not minutes) for them all to come online. This and the occasional stop/start of streaming content which I believe is directly attributable to the source (SiriusXM streaming). Lastly, with three kids and some friends who are Sonos fans as well, it would be ideal to have the ability to control who can control which speakers. For instance, I'd prefer that my teenage daughter not have the ability to control the Beam in the master bedroom - or, for that matter, her younger sister's speaker (pranks). They should only be able to control their speakers and maybe a few others in the common areas of the home. Sonos is evolving from appealing to a very specialized audiophile market to a upper-end mainstream product. I believe their capabilities also need to evolve since they are capitalizing on the many-to-many inputs-to-outputs vs. one-to-many.

Move doesn't allow voice control of other Sonos speakers

Sonos is really advertised as a whole house, multi- room system. Without Sonos app, this simply isn't true as Move voice control doesn't allow control of other Sonos speakers on the same WIFI network. This issue needs to be addressed with a software upgrade and without an app version change. If Sonos goes away or the app goes away, speakers basically become 'bricks'.
