The drums on this track get some added thunder, but nothing too over the top, and Callahan's baritone vocals get a nice balance of low-mid richness and crisp high-mid edge. At top, impressively loud volume levels, the Move doesn't distort, though we do hear some DSP (digital signal processing) kick in and thin out the bass a little.īill Callahan's "Drover," a track with far less deep bass in the mix, gives us a better sense of the Move's general sound signature. Plus, you can pump up the bass (or cut it) even more with the Sonos app. On tracks with intense sub-bass content, like The Knife's "Silent Shout," the Move delivers some palpable low-frequency push-it's a bass-forward speaker for sure. We tested it first with no TruePlay adjustments for a baseline sense of the audio. The Move's sonic performance is strong enough to make you forget it's a mono speaker. The internal battery can also be replaced if you notice a drop-off in performance, but this shouldn't happen until after about 900 charges or so.

While Bluetooth is instrumental in allowing you to use the speaker on the go, so is its built-in battery. Sonos claims the Move can get up to 11 hours of battery life, but your results will vary with your volume levels. The Move is also Apple AirPlay 2 compatible. That said, you can only use the Sonos app when the speaker is connected via Wi-Fi. Pairing is a simple process, and once complete, you can switch seamlessly between Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. When not connected to Wi-Fi (if you're using the speaker out in the backyard or taking it on a trip, for instance), you can still stream via Bluetooth. Like most smart models, there is no speakerphone function-the mics are only for voice control. We found the mic picked up voice commands clearly, even when we mumbled them a bit and the speaker was blasting music. In addition to TruePlay, there are bass and treble sliders in the app, and a loudness button that can be disabled-it mainly seems to boost bass at low volume levels.Īmazon Alexa and Google Assistant support can be added through the app, after which you can control the speaker by voice. Beyond that, the app's TruePlay feature will tune the speaker to its surroundings. The app gives you access to internet radio, as well as the ability to stream your phone's music library. Updates also happen through the app once your speaker is connected. All you need to do is power the speaker up, enter your Wi-Fi password, and follow the on-screen prompts in the app.

The Move works with the Sonos app for Android and iOS, which is easy to use and takes virtually all the work out of the setup process. The Move is a mono speaker, which isn't surprising given its size, but a bit disappointing considering its price. The Move also ships with a drawstring protective pouch.īehind the wraparound metallic grille that covers most of the speaker's surface area, two class-D amplifiers drive the down-firing tweeter and the mid-range driver. No cable is included, but you get a charging base/stand that has a hardwired adapter with a long cable. There are three buttons along the back-power, Bluetooth/Wi-Fi, and Join (for joining an existing Sonos network)-as well as a USB-C port for charging. There's also a mic/mic mute button for the far-field mic array, which is also located on the top panel. The top panel houses touch-sensitive controls, including a central play/pause button and side buttons for volume. It's also built to withstand intense sun and even drops. In other words, poolside splashes or rain won't harm the speaker, and it can get a little dirty, too. Its IP56 rating means it can handle limited dust exposure, as well as water projected from any direction, though it shouldn't be submerged. Measuring 9.5 by 6.3 by 5.0 inches (HWD), the slightly rounded Move has an eggshell-like finish in black or white.

It's a step in a new direction for Sonos, and we think it's the right one. Its sculpted, bass-forward sound signature may not appeal to audio purists, but there's no denying the Move's power, quality, and thoughtful design.
#Sonos move portable#
It's quite large for a portable speaker, but its size allows it to deliver some serious bass depth. At $399, the Move is far from cheap, but it delivers powerful audio in a battery-powered, outdoor-friendly design. Sonos is best known for popularizing multi-room audio, and until now, none of those "rooms" have included your back patio.
