Sonos Move review

The Move goes where no Sonos speaker has gone before

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 versatile portable speaker really does do it all – but it doesn't come cheap

Sonos Move review

The long-awaited first Bluetooth-and-Wi-Fi portable speaker from Sonos has arrived. Has it been worth the wait?

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.

Sonos Move review: Sonos just burgled Google Home and drowned out Echo

This is by far the most luxe, water-resistant, rugged 'portable' speaker (it's hefty) ever - and it's got Alexa and Google Assistant inside

Excellent sound ; Connects over both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth ; Impressively ruggedised and water resistant ; App supports numerous streaming services ; And there's Apple AirPlay, Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, too

Unusually hefty for a 'portable' speaker ; Also unusually pricey, though you get your money's worth ; Audio takes a little bit of a hit when on Bluetooth

Sonos Move review: Should you buy it over Roam?

One of two portable Sonos speakers with Bluetooth - although the size and weight doesn't make it ultra-portable. Should you buy it over Sonos Roam?

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

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...

Sonos Move review: Great outdoors

Sonos' first Bluetooth speaker was made for life outdoors, and can power a pool party single-handedly. But is it worth the investment? Here's our full review.

Superb build quality ; Integration with Sonos systems ; Sounds especially good outdoors ; User-replaceable battery

Sonos app doesn’t work over Bluetooth ; Big size, big price

The Sonos Move is a pricey portable, but it sure can power a pool party

Sonos Move review: Versatility doesn't come cheap

If you're looking for a versatile speaker that works just about anywhere you use it, the Sonos Move is an excellent (but expensive) option. It works as a full-fledged Sonos speaker at home and can be used in a wide variety of outdoor environments, as...

Expensive ; Sound quality isn’t as good as other speakers in this price range
