Rather than expecting you to throw your premium speaker away, it’ll instead (for an as-yet-undisclosed fee) offer up a replacement battery which you can easily install into the base of the speaker yourself. Sonos predicts, on average usage, battery degradation to occur after about 900 charge cycles, or roughly three years of day-to-day use. There are laudable eco-credentials here too. The Sonos Move also uses a standby-like mode to save power when it notices it hasn’t been used for 30 minutes or so – this lets it conserve power for up to 5 days without a charge, but also gives it enough juice to let it be woken from its slumber wirelessly. The speaker can charge over USB-C, but you’ll likely use the included docking base ring, which charges the speaker any time it’s left to rest in it. To ease the load, the casing has a concave handle gap on the rear to make carrying it around a little easier.īased on our testing, battery life should be good for the quoted 10 hours, and will fully charge in around 2.5 hours. That’s a necessity of the large driver magnets in place here, and it’s a fair trade to make for the audio quality that’s delivered. At close to 3kg, you can lift the Sonos Move with ease, but you wouldn’t want to carry it around for too long. Standing 240 x 160 x 126 mm, it’s portable, but it’s not small. That’ll be down to its weight, we’d imagine. There’s even run-off channels within the casing for water to drain out through, while Sonos claims that during drop tests a concrete slab broke before the speaker even took a dent. It’s IP56 rated, meaning it’ll withstand a coating with sand or dust, as well as a drop into a swimming pool. Sonos also claims that it can withstand extremes of cold and heat – so whether your party is in the desert or the middle of a snowstorm, the Sonos Move should have you covered. Sonos has built the enclosure cutaway to be resonant and balanced from all angles – the outside world knows no boundaries, after all.Īs a portable product, it’s been vigorously tested for durability. In terms of audio guts, the Sonos Move makes use of two Class-D digital amplifiers, one downward-firing tweeter for highs and one mid-woofer integrated into the cabinet for mid-ranges and bass.
Around the rear you'll find a power button, a Bluetooth / Wi-Fi toggle button and a multi-room pairing button. You’ve a black speaker with a metal front grille, with capacitive playback control buttons along the top alongside an array of four far field mics.
It’s very much in the style of previous Sonos models.
