The Sonos Move is good for outdoor use. It's a really portable speaker with a built-in handle to transport it wherever you go. With an IP56 rating for dust and water resistance, it's certified for protection against direct contact with water for up to three minutes and dust for around two to eight hours, meaning you can bring it to the pool or the lake with ease. It lasts for a little over ten hours off of a single charge, too, which will be more than enough to last through your next adventure.

Sonos has finally come out with a speaker that you can take outside of the house: the Move. But the $400 Move is not like a typical Bluetooth speaker. It has all of the things that make Sonos speakers special as well.

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.

The Sonos Move is an excellent, smart, great-sounding speaker that is truly wireless. Packing wifi and Bluetooth, a 10-hour battery, easy charging, a durable case, weather resistance and loud, punchy sound, you could take this portable powerhouse practically anywhere.

In a nutshell, the Sonos Move is the portable speaker that we’ve always wanted the company to make.  With Bluetooth as well as Wi-Fi, you can take it anywhere while Auto Trueplay will make sure the music is always sounding great. And that’s just the start.

The $399 Sonos Move marks the next evolution of smart speakers. With Auto TruePlay spatial tuning, a rugged design and built-in virtual assistants, it's an excellent indoor-outdoor audio device.

En pocas palabras, Sonos Move es el altavoz portátil que siempre hemos querido que fabrique la compañía y te contamos por qué resulta de lo más interesante.  Con conectividad tanto Bluetooth como Wifi, puedes llevarlo a cualquier parte, mientras que la funcionalidad Auto Trueplay te asegurará de que la música siempre suene francamente bien. Esto es solo el principio.

There are other great portable Bluetooth speakers out there - including Sonos' own Roam that is far smaller and better designed for constant portability - but there are none quite like the Sonos Move in terms of sound output and features, especially not for those already invested in the Sonos system.

The Sonos Roam SL has the same design and sound architecture as the Sonos Roam, but it doesn't offer a microphone and so misses out on a couple of features.

The Sonos Era 100 is one of the newest Sonos speakers available, replacing the excellent Sonos One. It delivers excellent sound quality for it size, offers a lovely design and there are plenty of features on board. The Era 100 is the perfect starting place to a Sonos system, or a great addition to an existing one.

For those already invested in Sonos, this portable speaker is an absolute no-brainer addition to the family. It delivers all the convenience of a Bluetooth speaker, with the benefits of adding it back into a wider Sonos system when you're at home. All that, and it sounds fantastic, whilst also being super portable.
