While that's not an economical proposition at $800, pairing was easy and they performed well as a duo. You can use two Moves to create a stereo pair. Its sound isn't big enough to power an outdoor dance party, but it will capably fill a patio with music. The Move is designed for outdoor use, so its bigger sound (and bass) is going to play better than the One in an open environment where there are no walls to reflect the sound. We had to use a dust blower to get them out, but at least they didn't end up inside the speaker. While the speaker is dustproof, we noticed that when carrying it around, dirt and other particles found their way into the fine mesh metal grille surrounding the speaker. It sounds counterintuitive that a darker finish would prevent overheating, but according to Sonos, this particular black does. Its special 'shadow black' finish supposedly prevents it from overheating in the sun. With the speaker's IP56 rating, Sonos says the Move's 'tough durable exterior will withstand falls, bumps, rain and moisture, dust and dirt, UV and extreme temperatures.' We didn't expose it to those kinds of harsh conditions during my four days of testing, but it does seem sturdy. It also has Bluetooth, so you can take it out of range of your Wi-Fi network and stream directly from your phone or any Bluetooth-enabled audio device.Īn integrated handle on the back lets you tote the Move around the house, out to the patio or even to the beach.

It's Wi-Fi-enabled and can be linked to other Sonos speakers in your home system - Sonos says the Move has the best Wi-Fi connectivity of any of its speakers to date. But an indoor-outdoor speaker it is, complete with a built-in rechargeable battery that's good for 900 charges or roughly 3 years and is replaceable.
