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.

OK...maybe I missed it amongst the raves and rants 😙. But no one seems to have addressed the elephant in forum regarding the Big Q.....Will it pair with a computer via BT?

That is a very good question. You would think so.

For Bluetooth purposes, it'll function as a Bluetooth 4.2 speaker, so if your computer can connect with one, it should work great.

That doesn't, however, connect the computer to the rest of the Sonos speaker system. It's in bluetooth mode, which means it's a single speaker.

I didn't expect it would join other Sonos when in BT speaker mode and if I understand correctly it doesn't connect to other Sonos even in wifi mode. I was just speculating it would be another Sonos selling point for those who have been asking for a speaker that can be used wirelessly with a computer.

Have I misinterpreted anything?

It wasn't you that the post was "pointed" at. It was the larger population that reads these forums 🙂

Sorry, my response was not intended to convey that I was in anyway offended. I was really agreeing. I just worded it incorrectly. 😉

I don't think this product will do well. Who is the audience? Diehard sonos fans? Your average Best Buy consumer won't buy it.

You can be absolutely certain Sonos knows exactly who will buy it, and has sales projections nailed down for the next 2-3 years, at a minimum. This isn't their first rodeo.

If you're looking to use a Move out where you don't have wifi, and don't want to use Bluetooth, you could also use a wireless extender, wired into the nearest Sonos player if you wanted, and have that extend your wireless range.


Thanks Ryan. If that's fairly easy (and relatively cheap) to do, then that will be a good solution. More research!

I was ecstatic when I received the email announcing the 3 new Sonos products this morning. I've been hoping for this portable speaker ever since I purchased my first Sonos speaker. Love the wifi + bluetooth. Very clever. Pre-ordered!
