Audio company Sonos has announced the upcoming release of the Sonos Move 2, the second-generation successor to its popular portable Bluetooth speaker. Scheduled to hit the shelves on September 20, this sleek and feature-packed speaker is poised to redefine outdoor and indoor music experiences.
One of the notable improvements in the Sonos Move 2 is its extended battery life. With a whopping 24 hours of playback before needing a recharge, this speaker is built to keep the party going. It’s a significant upgrade from its predecessor, which offered 11 hours of playtime. Plus, for audiophiles, the addition of stereo sound at the $449 price point is a game-changer, a feature absent in the first-gen Move.
Designed to withstand the elements, the Move 2 maintains its IP56 water and dust resistance, making it a perfect companion for outdoor adventures, from car camping to backyard barbecues.
As part of the Sonos ecosystem, the Move 2 seamlessly integrates with your smart home setup. Whether you prefer using Sonos’ voice assistant for playback controls or Amazon’s Alexa for home automation, the choice is yours. The speaker comes in three stylish colors: black, white, and a trendy new olive tone.
True to the Sonos tradition, the Move 2 features Trueplay, utilizing built-in microphones to optimize audio based on your environment. This technology has impressed with its performance, even surpassing competitors like the Apple HomePod in stereo pair tests.
