Sonos Introduces Move 2

Hi all,

Today we are announcing Move 2, the next generation of our best-selling Move speaker, that delivers spacious stereo sound, up to 24 hours of battery life, and an ultra durable water resistant design that’s ready to party. Packed with sound innovation and sustainable design enhancements, Move 2 is our most sustainable portable product to date and the first to bring stereo sound outdoors.

A Premium Portable Powerhouse That Does It All

Move 2 is upgraded inside and out to include all-new hardware and software with next-gen acoustics that deliver wide stereo sound and deep bass no matter where you’re listening. 

  • Supercharged sound, now in stereo: Move 2 comes with a completely overhauled acoustic architecture including dual-tweeters that deliver spacious stereo sound and crisp vocals allowing you to feel the emotional charge of a live performance. Feel the beat from its precision-tuned woofer that produces deep, dynamic bass - even when listening outdoors.
  • Customize your system: Concurrent Bluetooth and WiFi capabilities allow for increased flexibility - stream via Bluetooth to a stereo pair of Move 2 speakers to expand your space or seamlessly group Move 2 with the rest of your Sonos system via Wi-Fi to crank your party up a notch.
  • Sustainably designed to outlast any adventure: Move 2 reduces idle energy usage by more than 40%, incorporates recycled plastics, and uses a removable and replaceable battery to extend its product life - all wrapped in a responsibly designed package that uses sustainably sourced material, zero virgin plastic and is curbside recyclable. 

More power to you: Move 2 offers up to 24 hours of battery life - double the playback time of the original Move - with a USB-C port that can charge your phone or electronics on the go, making it the perfect companion to power weekend road trips or outdoor gatherings.

  • Versatile sound you can move around: With its ultra durable design and IP56 rating, Move 2 is built to withstand accidental drops, splashes, rain, dirt, and sun. With automatic Trueplay tuning, Move 2 continually optimizes the sound for its surroundings, so you’ll always get the best listening experience no matter where life takes you. 
  • Elevated design and controls: Move 2 is available in an Olive colorway to complement neutral indoor and outdoor aesthetics, as well as Black and White colorways that blend seamlessly with other Sonos products. Move 2 features the same new intuitive user interface as the recently launched Era products, including a capacitive volume slider for simple control, or use Sonos Voice Control, Amazon Alexa, the Sonos app, Apple AirPlay2 and Bluetooth® to play, pause, check your battery, and more. 

Connect to all your favorite content: Stream audio using WiFi or Bluetooth, and unlock new listening possibilities by connecting your turntable, computer, or other audio source using the Sonos Move 2.

Hi @regtor 

Been waiting for the Move 2 as I regularly move my Move 1 between locations, two of which with charging cradles.  I read the press release and would like to confirm that  the Move 1 charging cradle can be used with the new Move 2 - am I right?  thanks!

Yes - either cradle can charge either version of the Move.

Move 2 specs are showing 24 hour battery life. Move was 11 hour battery life. I understand the Move 2 battery can be used in a Move. What is the expected battery life of a Move with a Move 2 battery?

I assume the Move 2 battery is a more powerful and the circuitry of the Move 2 is likely more energy efficient. Was wondering if any testing was performed to see what the battery life will be like with a Move 2 battery in a Move?

Thanks

Hi @schoondoggy 

Good question! Yes, Move 2's replacement battery pack is backwards compatible with Move - using this combination will increase Move's playtime by 22%, as well as reduce charging time by 22%. You can tell by these figures that Move 2 is indeed more efficient than Move is.

I hope this helps.

good and all… but the green Move 2 that everyone wants has been on backorder and the date keeps getting pushed back…  does anyone know when I’ll actually be able to order and receive the hot item that was launched a month ago..

Rhetorical question?  

You can order right now, and it should be shipped around Nov 6, like the website said. 

If you’re hoping to be order and get immediate shipping for some reason, that obviously won’t happen till Nov 6 at the earliest, but could later be later based on product demand.
