Bluetooth Speakers / Sonos
Sonos Move 2
True stereo from one box, and a full Sonos speaker when it is home.
Overall score 7.3/10
Pros
- + Genuine stereo from one box, which nothing else here manages
- + Works as a full Sonos speaker at home and a Bluetooth speaker away from it
- + The battery is user-replaceable, so it should outlast rivals
- + Automatic Trueplay tuning
Cons
- − IP56 is the weakest water rating here — it is not submersible and does not float
- − 3kg, so this is portable in the sense of moving rooms rather than going hiking
- − No aux input without a paid Line-In adapter
- − No Auracast
- − Sources disagree on whether it can charge a phone
Sonos Move 2 review: what the specs say
True stereo from one box, and a full Sonos speaker when it is home. At $499, Sonos's 2023 model sits at the premium end of the category — the bluetooth Speakers we compare run from $34.99 to $549.95. It scores 7.3/10 overall, calculated from published specifications across 8 categories rather than from a subjective impression.
Its strongest showing is Sound Quality at 9.0/10 — tonal balance, clarity and detail. The weakest is Portability at 4.5/10, which is the trade-off to weigh before buying: if that is the specification you care about most, one of the alternatives below will serve you better.
Worth knowing before you buy: IP56 is the weakest water rating here — it is not submersible and does not float; and 3kg, so this is portable in the sense of moving rooms rather than going hiking. Every specification on this page comes from Sonos's own documentation or a verified retail listing — where a figure is not published, the table says so rather than estimating it.
