Introducing Sonos Move, Brilliant Sound Anywhere

Introducing Sonos Move, Brilliant Sound Anywhere
Introducing Sonos Move, the durable, battery-powered smart speaker for outdoor and indoor listening. Powerful and versatile with smart, adaptable sound, Sonos Move is available starting September 24th.



Sonos Move delivers surprisingly deep bass, an ultra-wide soundscape, and Automatic Trueplay tuning that perfectly balances the sound for where you are and what you're listening to.

Move features two Class-D digital amplifiers perfectly tuned to match the speaker drivers and acoustic architecture. It also has one downward-firing tweeter into a custom-designed waveguide that disperses sound evenly, along with one mid-woofer integrated into the cabinet for deep, rich bass.

Connect Move to the rest of your Sonos system at home on WiFi to stream music in one room or in sync with other speakers throughout your home. Play music, check news, set alarms, get your questions answered, and more, completely hands free with Alexa and the Google Assistant built right in. Switch to Bluetooth when you’re away from home or on the go and play music directly from your mobile device.


Details on Sonos Move:
  • Move slides seamlessly into the included charging base and features an ergonomic handle, making it easy to pick up and carry.
  • Move has a tough durable shell and an IP56 rating, meaning it can stand up to falls, bumps, humidity, rain, dust, UV rays, and extreme heat and cold.
  • Responsive touch controls on the top of the speaker makes it easy to play, pause, skip, adjust the volume, and group rooms when on WiFi. There's also a mic button that can easily turn the microphones on or off.
  • Move also has a join button, power button, and WiFi/Bluetooth mode button on the back, just under the handle.
Power and battery:
Move’s battery will last for up to 10 hours of uninterrupted playback. If left off the charging base and unused, Move will automatically go into suspend mode to reserve battery for up to 5 days. The battery is rechargeable with an included indoor charging base or with any USB-C charger with the following output levels: 12V/3A, 15V/3A, or 20V/2.25A. After about three years, or 900 charges, Move’s battery can easily be replaced so you can keep listening for years to come.

Pre-order today on Sonos.com in shadow black for $399 US (€399 EUR), available worldwide starting September 24.

    @biggetjeindewei


    Question: Are you indicating that your cell phone or no Wi-Fi enabled device works over Wi-Fi in your garden? If they do I'd imagine the Move would connect as well. Remember, Sonos offers a 45 day free return policy.    Wifi connection outside is barely enough for the iPad. I can surf the web and use the Sonos app, but the connection will not support a continues music stream. For SonosNet no issue at all, plenty coverage even in the garden.
    Maybe I will give the Move a try, but it’s a shame it does not support SonosNet. I was planning to use the Move also as a replacement of a Bridge somewhere in the house.

    If you can browse the internet, the Move may work fine on the wifi. Move has a very powerful wireless card and quite the impressive range. This is probably something you'll need to test at home to find out if it'll work on your wireless where you need it to, but hopefully you'll be impressed with the range. The reviews for Move are coming out today, and you'll see some like this Sonos Move Techhive review saying it worked quite far from his router.

      Was there an embargo on reviews, they all came out today at the same time!

      General opinion seems to be it sounds great, not very portable, expensive, not what we hoped for.

      Roll on the Move Mini ;)

      To be honest I'll probably get one when they're discounted, about £300.

      How about a version without Alexa and Google.

      I don’t mind using my phone and the great Sonos app if it knocked the price down a bit.😀      If it didn't have the microphones for voice control, it wouldn't be able to use Automatic Trueplay tuning. Definitely a feature worth the price of the microphones if you ask me.
      If the mics shut off while on Bluetooth, does this mean Trueplay is not functional while on Bluetooth? If that is the case,do the Trueplay settings stay with the last settings or go back to a default?

      I have SONOS at my house and love it!!! So for on the go sound I use the UEBooms and MEGABooms. I love the fact that I can pair multiple speakers together so i can create a sound experience on the go as close to as if i were at home with the seamless room to room sound. Does anyone know if this is possiable with the NEW MOVE speaker when you are using it in Bluetooth mode? If not... This is something SONOS SHOULD DO!!! I love the way i can link my UE's. With the sound quality that SONOS has and to be able to link more that (1) MOVE together.. Just think about it!!!! Not only would i be sold on the MOVE speaker, but it would also sell more speakers!!! Just saying!!

      If you turn off the microphone after Automatic Trueplay has done some tuning, the Trueplay settings will be remembered until the accelerometer detects that the unit has moved. When it moves, the audio profile will go back to the default tuning. Also, when you switch the unit off of WiFi and into Bluetooth mode, the tuning will be suspended until the unit goes back on WiFi. Bluetooth will always use the default tuning, unadjusted by Trueplay.

      @KSavage072, when on the go in Bluetooth mode, Move operates as a solo unit, you can't stereo pair it or group it with other Sonos players. I'll make sure the team knows you're looking for this as a feature though.

        Thanks Ryan, Man if that could be done! I could have 10 to 15 sold throughout my group....

        @Ryan S Is the lack of SonosNet support a software thing? If so would it be possible to suggest to the team that we have an option to turn it on (default off)

        I'll pass the request over to the team for you, dave77. It may be hardware too. Also, it's worth noting that the wireless card on Move is the most powerful we've ever installed in a player. It may be able to operate much further from your router than you believe.

        Thanks!

        We have thicker walls in the UK! I have a Unifi AC Pro which is next to an outside wall. Inside it's 800Mbps, in the garden on the other side of the wall it's 0. I will happily try the Move but I doubt it will work.
