This Portable Sonos Speaker Is Now on Sale at Its Lowest Price Ever
The Sonos Move 2 is now $336 (down from its usual $449), according to price trackers , making it its lowest price ever. That makes it a little easier to justify if you’re looking for a portable Bluetooth speaker that doesn’t compromise on sound.
This isn’t some lightweight travel companion you can throw in a beach bag. It weighs nearly 6.6 pounds, is built like a tank, and is clearly designed to be used as both an indoor speaker and an external one . It looks clean, charges on a minimalist wireless base, and comes in matte black or white.
The audio system includes two tweeters for stereo separation and a single woofer that holds its own, especially at medium volumes. At higher volumes, the bass pulls back a bit to prevent distortion, but unless you’re constantly pushing it to the max, it won’t be a big deal, notes this PCMag review . Bluetooth 5.0 is a bit behind the times and won’t appeal to audiophiles who want high-resolution streaming on the go. But this speaker was clearly built with Wi-Fi in mind — and it shines on that front. Pair it with the Sonos app and you’ll have access to EQ settings, TruePlay room tuning, and the ability to connect to other Sonos speakers . It also supports AirPlay 2 and hands-free voice control with Alexa and Sonos Voice.
It’s not fully waterproof, but its IP56 rating means it’ll survive a heavy downpour or the occasional rinse. Battery life has been bumped up to 24 hours (though that number varies depending on how loud you listen to it and how often you use the voice or Wi-Fi features), and the app makes setup and everyday use easy, whether you’re already in the Sonos ecosystem or not. The Move 2 is certainly pricey, and the Bluetooth performance could be better. But if you’re looking for full-bodied, room-filling sound, smart features, and portability that doesn’t feel like a toy, this could be the speaker to get, especially while it’s still at a great price.
