A recent purchase to add a missing component to our Sonos setup. Extremely simple to set up and network with the rest of the system. Fabulous sound and the ability to move around including outside is fabulous. The Bluetooth connection offers great flexibility as you move away from the WiFi.

Sonos speakers have been known for their ease of use. Now that it's introduced Move, does its versatility complicate that "Sonos experience" Or does it add to it

Sonos’s most versatile speaker yet really does do it all – but it doesn't come cheap

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

If you can live with its price and size, the Sonos Move is an excellent portable wireless speaker that expands the play area of your Sonos system.

A solid portable speaker for an existing Sonos system; Sturdy, water-resistant, dustproof and voice-enabled (on a Wi-Fi network) with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa; Up to 10 hours of playback; Autotuning system calibrates to any environment; The battery is replaceable.

But when you consider that it’s both, and that it delivers all-day battery life on a single charge, intelligent adaptive sound to ensure it sounds best wherever you’re using it and the...

That Sonos sound

Big, bold sound; Hardy construction; Fits anywhere in your Sonos set-up;

Not cheap; Splashy treble;
