I wish Sonos had just spent the money to include industry standards like battery indicator m volume, and a pairing button. If you don’t have Wi-Fi or the charger it’s an insane headache to reset and turn on or link to your device. It looks minimalist but is a real let down in practical use
so did i mate so load down the sonos app and crack into it. its a bloody hassle but I think it must fire something up inside the speaker and then you can use it quite well on bluetooth. Or buy a UE,cheaper, almost as good as sound and real easy to set up.
I bought it and Alexa won't listen to me when I turn up to more than 4, what's this due? To the speaker or Alexa, I wrote to both customer services and none of them wanted to answer for this problem, the product is in Guarantee, I bought it a month ago.
Mmm interesting!!! I got a move yesterday, and it didn’t seem to here me as well as my Sonos one speakers! Did you find out if this was an known problem?
@@Laptopdog78 Not really, after talking to the two companies, neither gave an optimal solution, but if there is a listening problem with this specific speaker, I don't know if it is due to the speaker or the voice assistant.
@@jheinerhernandez7836 I would definitely guess at the speaker. Sonos other speakers are superb at picking up the Alexa commands at medium to high volume. I wonder if it has anything to do with it being waterproof? More sealed up holes etc? Although I have actually only just got mine? and I haven’t tested it in enough different places to decide if I think there is actually a problem yet!
@David Morris Yes, I did hear that, just like any Sonos product, you can pair the majority of them in Wi-if. It would have been a nice feature for them to so the same in Bluetooth for a $500 Cdn. portable speaker.
"All you need to know", well I didn't have a clue about setting the speaker up to play some sounds, before I watched the video, I still DON'T. This is just a review.
Are you able to do some testing in the shop with this speaker? I ask because a lot of people are reporting that the speaker loses most of the battery life after a few days even if the speaker is completely powered off. There's a thread about this on the Sonos forums but Sonos have not made any proper statement about this issue for the last few months. Because of the way I want to use it, it would be powered completely off for a few days at a time and then used for about an hour and then powered completely off again until the next time. I do this with an old DAB radio at the moment and that battery lasts a couple of months like this. I would really like to buy a Sonos Move but if it has this battery drain issue then it is completely useless for my situation.
Hi there and thanks for the question. If you are powering the Move down the battery will last considerably longer and you will get near the 11 hour battery life. The battery does drain quicker if the Move is off the base but in standby (Not switched off using the power button). Hope this helps.
@@smarthomesounds Not according to what people are reporting on the Sonos Forums sadly. They are powering down completely and the battery is depleting in well less than a week. Some people have reported that it's powered up by itself as well and that's from a complete power down apparently
If you haven’t started buying sonos, stay away, when they are working they are great, but VERY VERY BUGGY, I SPEND THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME FIGURING OUT ITS NOT WORKING THIS TIME, I HAVE ABOUT 10 sonos so I’m in too far.
I’m returning this expensive trash today. Don’t buy this crap. Sound quality above 70% is garbage and it doesn’t even get too loud for big rooms or outdoors. I wonder where the positive reviews come from.
Mine just arrived today and I gotta say..... best portable speaker hands down
Short review that was great
Thanks for this. It's a great review!
Can u connect it in. Different room ( in it own) on the full arc sL one system? So I can hear the movie when I go upstairs for a bit.
Thank you for the fast review
No problem! Glad it helped.
Can we pair 2 Sonos move via Bluetooth?and how?thanks
Everyone seeing the Black Friday deal 👀

Really pleased with it. However, how do you turn up the Alexa timer alarm??
You open the Alexa app, go to device settings select the speaker and you will have a few Alexa settings for the speaker 👍🏻
She's beautiful 😍🌷
Can I put this out in my patio and link them to my Sonos home theater to play all speakers at once?
If it’s in wifi range
I'm having a lot of trouble connecting with bluetooth. Any suggestions?

Can you pair it with a TV that has Airplay2 ?
Does it do Hi-Res audio?
You forgot to mention it's impossible to get connected to anything. It makes a nice paperweight.
What’s her @
Why can you not use it as rear speakers? What if I don’t want to use the little SLs
Get the fives.

@@Laptopdog78 Give it a try and if you have a problem, tell me, so we can help other people who have this problem.
@@jheinerhernandez7836 I will be giving it a good try out over the weekend!
So you can’t pair with smart TVs via Bluetooth???
Another item that I have found is that if you have 2 Sonos Move’s when in Bluetooth, you cannot pair them together for stereo sound.
@David Morris Yes, I did hear that, just like any Sonos product, you can pair the majority of them in Wi-if. It would have been a nice feature for them to so the same in Bluetooth for a $500 Cdn. portable speaker.
Pro tip - carry a portable wifi with you using the same wifi name as your home wifi. Then it will work perfectly. Or use your phone as a hotspot.
Gay innit
This is a sales pitch. Still don’t know why I can’t connect
Well done!
Hi Smart home folks. Any news on black Friday offers from you lovely lot ?🥳🥳
Stay tuned 👀

Still now information, how to start this fixture !!!
🎉❤
The rear support is a huge let down. I wish you could pair it with the Arc as temporary rear speakers.
that's a bit overkill for rears
I heard that you can pair them as long as it’s over wifi and it’s a music platform that you’re trying to play it through

@@666JGNotts Google problems with any electronic device and someone will be reporting something.
@@Laptopdog78 My lightbulb made a popping noise and stopped working! I don't know what to do! 🙂
Can only be used in WiFi or Bluetooth mode! Can't be used as a Bluetooth bridge to a Sonos system 😡

Bro I feel like the fucking monkeys from 2001 a space odyssee staring at the monument trying to figure this shit out.
How many devices can connect to it via bluet.?
