Features and specifications in this description are as the brand describes them.
The Move 2 is a portable smart speaker built for flexibility between your home and outdoors. It connects via Wi-Fi to your Sonos system at home and switches to Bluetooth when you're away without internet. It has an IP56 durability rating, meaning Sonos claims it withstands rain, snow, dust, salt spray, UV rays, and extreme temperatures, plus drop resistance for rougher handling.
Sonos describes the Move 2 as delivering surprisingly deep bass and a wide soundstage for its size, with Trueplay tuning that the brand says automatically balances sound for your location and content. It includes built-in Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa for hands-free control over music, news, alarms and answers when on Wi-Fi. The speaker charges via an included base and has an ergonomic handle for portability.
The battery lasts 10 hours per charge according to the specs. Note that voice control and some features require Wi-Fi connection; Bluetooth streaming works offline but without voice assistant functions. The speaker is mono audio, so stereo pairing or multi-room setup depends on your wider Sonos system.

Best for: Sonos users wanting a portable stereo speaker with long battery life and weather resistance for indoor and outdoor listening.
The Sonos Move 2 is a battery-powered portable smart speaker designed to operate both within an indoor multi-room system and as a standalone outdoor speaker. According to Sonos, the second-generation model updates the acoustic architecture with two angled tweeters for stereo separation alongside a single midwoofer powered by three Class-D digital amplifiers. The unit connects over dual-band Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth, and Sonos rates the internal 44Wh battery for up to 24 hours of continuous playback on a single charge. Charging is handled via an included wireless charging base or a third-party USB-C PD power supply rated at 45 W or more. Sonos specifies an IP56 rating, certifying resistance against dust and high-pressure water spray, alongside automatic Trueplay acoustic calibration that continually analyses its surroundings to optimise sound output for its environment.
The Move 2 suits existing Sonos households wanting a high-output speaker that moves from a living room or kitchen to a patio, deck, or poolside without dropping off the multi-room network. Because it supports Bluetooth streaming, guests can play audio directly from their smartphones without needing access to the home network. It also suits outdoor listeners who want full stereo sound and extensive battery reserve without having to keep the device tethered to mains power.
Buyers looking for an ultralight speaker to slip into a backpack for hiking or travel should skip it, as the Move 2 weighs approximately three kilograms. Households invested strictly in the Google Home ecosystem should also note that while the first-generation Move supported Google Assistant, Sonos confirms the Move 2 only supports Amazon Alexa and Sonos Voice Control. Additionally, anyone planning to connect a turntable or auxiliary device must factor in an optional USB-C line-in adapter.
In Australia, the Move 2 is sold under model code MOVE2AU1 and includes an Australian-standard power adapter for 230V mains outlets. Retailers such as Domayne and The Good Guys list a standard one-year manufacturer warranty, which sits alongside statutory consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law. The speaker supports 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi networks. While the IP56 rating handles backyard dust, humidity, and rainfall, Sonos cautions that the unit is water-resistant rather than fully submersible, and the charging base is not covered by the speaker's IP56 rating.

The speaker is wonderful! Love the sound, it looks great, and being able to move it around the house, because it's battery powered, is the way of the future. The app, however, could be smoother. It took me 4 tries to cr ...
