The verdict
The Sonos Move is a great speaker but it might not be for you. If you already are a part of or plan on joining the Sonos ecosystem then this is a great addition to your setup.
✓What we like
✓Reliable connection
✓Solid Sonos app
✓IP56 rating
✓Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
✓Microphones work well, can be toggled off
✓Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa compatibility
✕What could be better
✕Price
✕AAC and SBC only, no aptX
✕The handle is not for carrying the speaker long distances
✕Speaker is too heavy and awkward to be truly portable
