can't wait for move 2 vs homepod 2 comparisons in general :) might have to take that upgrade discount after registering my move 1
ปีที่แล้ว +5
I CANNOT WAIT for having my Move 2. It's just perfect with the 24 hours replaceable battery and the stereo sound. That's a win for me and one excellent reason to increase my Sonos ecosystem. Thank you Sonos. You're the best.
I have a Sonos Move and I'm quite happy with it overall, it just tends to lose the network connection a bit too often and resetting the router just to use it for an hour can be a hassle. 😢
I have a pair and they are a pita if you actually roam with them - they hate new networks and to take them as a stereo pair to another location usually means a factory restart and set up. Not convenient. They do sound nice when they do pair on your travels.
I have 2 move 1s' and as a stereo pair they are brilliant, so my only interest is can a move 2 battery go in a move 1 to extend play? Although mine will go all day at med vol.
Move 2 or a pair of era 300s for backyard audio? I know the era 300s will not be as weather proof, but as far as sound quality and distribution, what do you think might work best? Im thinking of mounting two 300s under my patio, so they would be covered
5:48 this is incorrect. The first generation Move has a 36Wh battery and this one has 44Wh, so it's not double. But they must have made optimizations to extend the life.
@@smarthomesounds no worries! I meant to say in the video it was mentioned 18Wh for the Move 1 and that part was incorrect. I didn't mean the battery life.
I just preordered one from the Sonos site. I received 15% off of MSRP. I assume because I am a return customer including previous upgrade program . ~ $390 USD shipped
I would like to know if a pair of move 2s can be stereo paired over Bluetooth? This feature was absent in the move and was noteworthy, since cheaper speakers have had this feature for years. JBL, Bose, UE all do this at lower price points. If Bluetooth pairing is possible, (and since the move 2 is reported to have stereo capability in a single unit), do they simply connect in sequence, (with each unit providing its own left & right channel), or can they be actually stereo paired, with one unit providing left and the other providing right channels? This feature is good for traveling away from wifi networks, such as camping or the beach, and is an obvious feature for higher end Bluetooth speakers.
@@smarthomesounds I'm not understanding your answer. Are you saying you do think they'll be able to be stereo paired via Bluetooth when not on a wifi network?
I have two Move Gen 1s for the patio (coming up on bonfire season with the chilly nights). The wifi reaches out back so I stereo pair them. Honestly, sound quality so often comes down to EQ (available in apps like Wiim) and acoustic surroundings that I wouldn’t upgrade for such a high price when I have what I have. However, if I didn’t already own one (or two!), I would see the higher price tag as worth skipping the Gen1 option altogether.
I am really excited for the move to. I am glad we’ve upgraded the sound because I know people at grips about the sound from the first speaker, so it wasn’t clear enough and stuff. I didn’t buy the first one yet, but I’m a pretty big fan of fro speakers 8:148:168:178:18
I didn’t buy the original Move only because I couldn’t connect 2 simultaneously over Bluetooth. This is a feature I use all the time when away from home with another brand speaker. I’m so sad they didn’t add that feature to the new Move 2.
Are you sure of that? I can use blue tooth on both era 300s and use the sonos app simultaneously while in blue tooth. I'm 99% sure the move 2 will do the same.
@@SaandMaan I contacted Sonos directly and they did confirm that as of now, you can not connect multiple Move 2's over Bluetooth. They did say some phones can push to multiple devices at once, but I've never been able to make that a stable connection. Maybe its a me problem. Other brands (like JBL) have you connect your phone with one of their speakers, and that speaker sends the signal to the others. I'm hoping the Move 2 will be able to do this with a software update, but that sounds like wishful thinking sadly. All that said, to be clear, I'm a fan of SONOS.
@PeterBruceBosher Before I got my Roam, I always had stereo portable speakers, and always wondered why Sonos didn't produce any. That's why I'm so delighted that the Move 2 is stereo. Now all we need is Bluetooth stereo pairing. I'll wait for the full review from the oracle at SHS, and for the prize winning speaker to try ... Thanks as ever for excellent reviews ...
Sonos have said this won't be possible due to the different acoustic architectures and sound profiles due to Move being a mono speaker and Move 2 being stereo!
horrible battery life. After purchasing two of the first-generation versions, I had to replace the battery withing months. I'll never purchase Sonos battery speakers again.
DO NOT BUY- Good sound quality but difficult set up and connectivity issues. Wort thing is that after a couple of months the speakers will not connect to the app and you have to use the app to listen to any music. Just trashed over $1k in speakers and customer service did not respond for months after the 5 speakers I had bought had been in the landfill. Buy anything else that connects directly with Bluetooth.
I called this… shit right… time to convince the wife. Oooo competition time @lspinetti The green is a lovely colour, I would like to see the same colour charging base. The upgrades are good enough to warrant a new release and the obligatory £50 premium. Love the fact you can charge a phone great for camping… although I’d take a roam or boom camping over this. Good to see the Bluetooth and WiFi upgrade. Battery change is a win… maybe longevity is a key talking point now. That’s big in the audio world. I’d really like to see the google issues resolved , they just need to put it behind them and kiss and make up. Keep up the great work guys.
I'm looking forward to seeing how good the stereo separation is considering is all running of the one woofer (havnt listened to the era 100 for comparison). I also like that sonos seemes to be looking into replaceable components like the battery which should see the life span of the speaker improve over the years. I can somewhat understand the reasoning behind not enabling rear surrounds but why could it not have been activated only when it's on the dock. @theloganjennings
@benjaminjbaxter almost brought a move gen 1 last week….phew. Like the line in function for our turntable as something wanted and having a speaker that moves round the house is massive bonus for us
@michael.chap_ . I have the full arc, sub and one sl system in my living room and I’ve been wanting to get the move for my patio. This seems like a great option for around he house. I’m looking forward to your review
@purge_them_all I don't have the previous model but I think it would go very well with my current home setup and also for taking it to work for some low music to make it more sufferable. Less charging and the double tweeters made me sold on this model than the previous which is cheaper but oh well, I surely wouldn't regret the decision. It's Sonos after all.
@cam_kluesner I am definitely excited to hear the difference between the generations. I love what sonos has been doing with there newest speakers and I’m excited so see what comes in the future!!
After this video I'm actually considering giving away my Move Gen 1 to my parents and buying this Move 2 🤩 Love the conectivity option with a pick-up as I was thinking about buying the Era 100 or 300 for this in particular. ❤ @nedalexa
@@smarthomesounds could you please compare it against the Era300 with regular music (non Dolby)? I find the ERA300 is incredible when playing Dolby Atmos but not that much with regular stereo music. In fact I like the Move 1 more for regular audio
I have an original move, which I bought on the back of your first review. Love it, especially when entertaining in the garden. I’ll wait your full review before deciding if it’s worth me spending £450 sheets on a move 2 when my move still works flawlessly. @ports54
I love the quality sound that sonos products produce, and to have that in a portable speaker is awesome. Good luck with the giveaway everyone. @Ezdreamer81

Does the line-in adapter also work for Sonos Move 1? It's possible? 2:51
Can you link a Move 2 & Roam?
Will Sonos upgrade the Roam also? I have two Roams and they are the only Sonos speakers that always give me issues on a weekly basis.
I hope so, I really want a roam but they're notorious for having issues. A roam with a removable battery would be amazing.
I have a pair and they are a pita if you actually roam with them - they hate new networks and to take them as a stereo pair to another location usually means a factory restart and set up. Not convenient. They do sound nice when they do pair on your travels.
Will the new battery be usable in the first move ?
Great question, and yes this will be possible. We will have a video covering this soon.
excited about the new move2 with the new stereoscopic sound
Was just about to buy Era 100. Should I buy this instead?
Its better than Era 100 în terms of quality of sound, bass and its more powerful. The question is how its against Era 300.
Looking forward to a shoot out between the move 2 and the era 100 and era 300
Soon 👀
So we’ll be able to charge the move 2 using that usb-c port as well ?
At father’s day there was 175$ discount and I mist it. Happy to see Move 2 upgraded. Thanks for that review it appreciate…merci
I have 2 move 1s' and as a stereo pair they are brilliant, so my only interest is can a move 2 battery go in a move 1 to extend play? Although mine will go all day at med vol.
@Skinnerdane - I would love to be able to check the battery life when you’re not connecting to the speaker via WiFi. Something missing on the Move 1.

We meant the battery life had doubled - our bad. Could have been clearer there
@@smarthomesounds no worries! I meant to say in the video it was mentioned 18Wh for the Move 1 and that part was incorrect. I didn't mean the battery life.
I wonder if the usb c to jack has full 24/192 capabilties, or if playback from a streaming platform in high res will finally be a thing
Funny. Sonos "Let's increase the price but give people Bluetooth 5.0 instead of 5.3"
Well, I’ll try the Sonos Move 2 when its for free 😊
Like it’s any minor difference
I just preordered one from the Sonos site. I received 15% off of MSRP. I assume because I am a return customer including previous upgrade program . ~ $390 USD shipped
Can't link Move and Move 2... Come on Sonos :(

Did you say you can eq the sound for sonos move 1 via the app Wiim?
Can you stereo pair Move 2 with Era 100?
Yes
Can I replace my Move 1 battery with a Move 2 battery?
Yes you can- Sonos has confirmed- the next question is, how long will a Move 1 last on a Move 2 battery??
If they fixed the battery drain problem when on sleep and off the charger then I’m sold.
This is the one area we are really keen to test as initial specifications show it should be a lot better. Stay tuned for the review.
Looking forward to the extended battery life!!
For sure it is an intersting upgrade 👏
I have a move one I’d love a move 2 😊
Maybe in couple months when it goes on sale, then i'll buy it
I’m in ….what do I have to do 🤷🏾♂

100% want one and will get one but not at that price bracket just yet. i may already have too many sonos speakers anyway :-)

@craigbarbour would like to see how the sound compared to the Era series speakers
Definitely on our to do list for our upcoming review 🙏🏻
I’m interested if the bass is stronger or tighter than the 1st gen 🔈🔉🔊
We'll be testing this out in our review!
Will we be able to create a Stereo pair with a Move1 and a Move2?
Sonos have said this won't be possible due to the different acoustic architectures and sound profiles due to Move being a mono speaker and Move 2 being stereo!
I’m sure the Sonosquncer app on iOS will be able to pair them
"spatial" stereo sound with 2 tweeters at +/-10 cm ? 😁
Absolutely amazing🎉
horrible battery life. After purchasing two of the first-generation versions, I had to replace the battery withing months. I'll never purchase Sonos battery speakers again.
£450😂 😢
And 500€ for the rest of EU 👀
Non Bluetooth stereo support is a joke. Cheaper brands like UE have had this for 8 years
