What are people using for USB C charger for Sonos Move?

This is so disappointing to read! I just unpacked my Move yesterday, and I’m impressed with it on many levels, but not this one! There seems to be no distinguishing between power for use, and power for charging. And they don’t necessarily need to be the same thing, and I thought USB-C PD made most things work with most things!

For example, I can plug a big MacBook Pro, which normally charges as 87W+ into my Anker USB-C battery which only outputs at 30W. It will add power, and if the laptop is asleep the battery will charge, albeit slowly. Or in use, the battery will still deplete, but not as quickly.

For the Move, I understand that maybe it needs 45W to play at a high volume, but surely *any* power input would charge the battery if power consumption was near zero when on standby or switched off? Or, as in the MacBook example above, extend the battery life by adding some power as it is in use.

Are these input levels set in hardware or software @Ryan S ie. is this something that might ever be revisited? I was hoping this was a bit of kit I could just take with me but none of my fleet of USB-C chargers or batteries will work with it by the looks of things!

I found this on Amazon UK for those still looking.

Works great, and not a wall wart, which was a priority for me.

Would help if Sonos listed one on their website

Unless they have some sort of partnership with them, Sonos never makes recommendations on third party hardware.

Got to say...this is all a bit of a nightmare. Have tried two different USB C Chargers, both rated at 20.0v @ 2.25a and neither of them have worked, along with two different cables. Think SONOS need to really spell out the compatibility, instead of this guessing game which is currently happening.

Update...out of frustration, I unplugged my charger from the mains and then plugged it back in and the Move started charging...unplugged and tried again..nothing...WTF! It is so borderline its unreal...

Just wanted to confirm a charger that actually works for the Sonos Move, and does charge very fast & well, and it takes up really small space so that’s a bonus:

with this cable

And to spare some people the frustration, I also own loads of other Anker’s and none of them worked - please note, the following chargers do NOT work:

Just wanted to share with you folks out there in case you’re looking for a good charger for the Sonos Move which I found rather picky on it’s chargers

This is totally ridiculous.

Sonos, sort it out.

The Move should take power from USB C. End of.

Just got my white Move the other day and tonight I tried to charge it with 2 different power banks (PD) no luck. Tried it with my MacBook charger and number of cables with the same result, Sonos please help. 

For Sonos Move owners in Sweden, Teknikmagasinet has a slim USB-C charger that works with the unit and it is right now on discount sale.

I failed to get my Apple 61 W USB-C charger to work with the Move. But when I swapped the original 2m Apple USB-C/USB-C cable to the cable supplied with the charger mentioned above it works.
