Sonos Move review: brilliant sound now portable

5 /

5 stars

5 out of 5 stars.

Wireless smart speaker with 10-hour battery, room-filling sound, wifi and Bluetooth is not your ordinary portable speaker

Sonos has finally made a portable wifi and Bluetooth speaker that sounds great – but it's not quite what most will have imagined.

For years Sonos has made some of the very best wifi speakers, recently adding optional voice assistants from Google and Amazon. But they have never been truly wireless, needing to be plugged in and on your home wifi network.

The Move changes that, essentially taking the excellent Sonos One and adding a battery to the bottom. But it comes at a hefty £399 price tag, although some retailers already have it at £329.

The Move is slightly larger than the One. It is taller, wider and more of an oval shape than a squircle. The top still has the microphone array and mute button for your chosen voice assistant. The touch-sensitive pause/play and volume buttons still work great.

In the back is a handle for carrying the speaker, plus a power button, a connection button used for setting it up and the new wifi/Bluetooth switch button.

The battery sits in a large rubberised base. The whole thing drops neatly into a small oval ring pedestal for charging but there is also a USB-C socket for charging on the go.
