In short, I love the Sonos Move. I was initially surprised at how big and heavy the Sonos Move was and at 3kg and nigh on a foot tall, it isn't a speaker you're going to want to sling your backpack. But if you want great sound quality you have to accept s...
Excellent sound quality, Durable and water-resistant design, Bluetooth capabilities, AirPlay 2, Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa support, Stereo pairing
Heavy and therefore not all that portable, Quite expensive, No voice control in Bluetooth mode, Can't use two Sonos Move speakers as surrounds
We've been waiting a long time to see Sonos launch a portable speaker with Bluetooth streaming. In fact, we asked co-founder Tom Cullen about a portable speaker back in 2015, so it's something we've been pining after for a while.The Move is bigger and hea...
It's an impressive first look at Sonos' first ever Bluetooth speaker. It features all that you'd expect from a Sonos speaker that lives in the home, but can also function outdoors. It comes at a significant price, and given its size and weight it isn't ex...

I was surprised at how big and heavy the Sonos Move was. At 3kg and nigh on a foot tall, this is not a speaker you're going to be just dropping in your backpack without thinking about it. But it is a speaker Sonos fans have been requesting for ages.This i...
The Move is the newest member of the family, and whilst it's not the smallest, it still has all the same principles as its over-achieving brothers and sisters, but it's a bit more worldly with the ability to leave the house and roam far. Thing is, there...
Can integrate with a home Sonos speaker network, On-the-go tunes
Not as feature-rich when using Bluetooth, Cant be used as rear cinema speakers
It's pricey, but the portable Sonos Move justifies every penny with its smart connectivity and living-room worthy sound. It's just a shame it can't be used in a surround sound system...

Open, large-scale sound, Neat charging base, Auto Trueplay is effective, Multi-room smarts,
Expensive, No aptX Bluetooth support, Not class-leading sound, Big for a portable speaker,
Sonos's first venture beyond the home turns out to be a bit of a surprise. While many, including us, would have expected something like a Sonos One with a battery pack, or possibly something even smaller, more portable and more affordable, few could have...
