- Опубліковано 24 вер 2023
- In this video, we take a straightforward look at the new Sonos Move Generation 2 while comparing it to the previous Gen 1 model. There's no deep scientific analysis here; it's just regular folks giving you an honest review. We cover everything from unboxing and setup to a practical assessment of its performance. Wondering if upgrading to Gen 2 is worth it, or if Gen 1 still does the job? Join us as we highlight the key differences and similarities between these two portable speakers.
We'll talk about sound quality, battery life, design, and all the features that matter for everyday use. Whether you're a Sonos enthusiast or thinking about your first Sonos Move purchase, this video offers real-world insights to help you decide. Don't miss our down-to-earth review and comparison of the Sonos Move Gen 2 and Gen 1.
Different take on Scenario 2, Maybe 2.1... owns a move1 needs a second speaker to fully cover a bigger space.. buys a second 'cheaper' move 1 then at least you can have a stereo pair in that area or just save money.
Fair point! I was considering mentioning something similar, but there was a point where I had a stereo pair out there on those 2 hooks in the backyard (seen in the video) they ended up being a little to far apart and if you were sitting in either of those areas, you would actually end up missing some sounds that were panned exclusively to one speaker or the other. A good example of this would be some older recordings- the Beatles/Rolling Stones, or a lot of old jazz stuff (which I listen to often).
But hey…this is EXACTLY what the comments are for- hashing out other ideas!
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment- I really appreciate it! ✌🏼
@@NigelWorkman hmm, yeah... I'd not thought of that scenario. Only or predominantly L or R channel listening would be annoying.. so maybe outdoors you really are only interested in a pair of mono speakers. Keep up the good work 😀
You've convinced me into hanging on to my single M1 for now.
@@MC3DesignLtd glad to have been of service, Epic. I’m still on the fence on whether or not I will keep mine. Sounds good where it is, but I just don’t know if I actually NEED it. 🤔
Thanks again for stopping by and a HUGE thanks for the sub! ✌🏼🍻
@@NigelWorkman As I see it, Annoyances, mostly related to taking the speaker away from home... Carried over from the M1 the charging cradle bad design decision to have the cable, charger and dock all hard wired together is only half fixed. When travelling about I found it a pain to take the cradle with me, bulky and long term I figured it would be susceptible to cable breakages so bought a beefy charging brick and a cable as a travel solution (doubles as laptop / phone charger etc etc thus saving on packing space). The M2 seems to have not made much progress other than the brick part is a little smaller. Yes you can detach the cable from this part & you could use the M2 brick for other devices (not a laptop at 45W though) if needed but you will need to provide your own cable to used the USBC port on the back of the speaker. Why not just have USBC on both cradle and brick? Odd decision in my opinion. Also indoors, having an M1 & an M2 would annoy the heck out of me having to take each speaker to a specific charging cradle (maybe this isn't true but I believe they are different? maybe you could confirm as you have both to hand. Both I believe are 45W but the shapes look different. Can't stereo pair the M1/M2 so I'd be looking at it as a sell the M1 and buy an M2 - And from our discussion here I'm convinced I'd be better off with 2 M1's for outdoor (mono mono) or 2 M1's for indoors in a stereo pair. 1 of each seems excessive and probably fits into your might not keep it self justification turmoil :) As it is, 7 times out of ten I take my Roam away as the Move is just to chunky but the 3 time I take it (M1) because I have the space and it sounds divine for a small party. Funnily, my first impression of the speaker - and this is more testament to the Roam is that the Roam doesn't sound rubbish even after listening to the Move - just less whomp!
Just bought the move 2 excellent sound and reviews from audio experts
Congratulations! You will definitely enjoy this speaker- especially if you didn’t start with the move gen 1. It is definitely one of my favorite portable speakers of all time. Thanks for taking the time to comment, Jordan- I really appreciate it!! Enjoy your new speaker! 🍻
Move 2 is on sale for $359 right now now I pounced on it. Glad I did. Really enjoying this speaker!
That’s an awesome deal, Weekendwarrior! I’m glad you were able to get one at such a great price- definitely worth 359 all day!
Just recently, Sonos had a deal going on where if you had a 15% trade-in credit from previous purchases they would actually double it and give you 30% off. I was super tempted to buy an additional set of error 300 or maybe even a couple Roams, but I dragged my feet too long, and the deal went away. Lol. If they run a promotion like that again, I will definitely be picking something up.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving another comment- I really appreciate you! ✌🏼🤟🏼
@@NigelWorkman Nigel, do you have any recommended EQ settings for the Move 2 and Five? Thanks
I have not adjusted anything beyond what was set with the Trueplay tune. I find that to be a pretty solid EQ without any fuss- just set that up and be done with it! 🍻
I have the Move 1 and the Move 2 is a massive improvement in sound.
Glad to hear you are having a great experience with your new gadget! I agree, there is definitely some big upgrades in the sound- albeit, more noticeable depending on the music you listen to. As long as you’re happy with it, that’s all that matters!
Thanks for stopping by Jester, and thanks for taking the time to comment- I appreciate it! ✌🏼
not massive at all
First time coming across your channel. Great video! Very informative.
Hello DLH, thanks for taking the time to say so- I really appreciate it! And of course I’m very happy you enjoyed the video.
Thanks again for stopping by. Hope to have you around for the next one! ✌🏼🤟🏼
Listening to “Thom Yorke” does it have elements of Al green in that tune? I dig it!
Hello Temujin! Thanks so much for checking out my music bro!! No al green sample in it, but I totally know what you mean!
Flip through my full length release “odds and ends” if you get a chance!
Thanks again man! ✌🏼🤟🏼
Thanks for acknowledging that if you're outside with background music you're not worried about the range of sound. It's worth mentioning that two of these cannot be used at the same time with bluetooth, unfortunate but what can you do. I think that's what I read..
Hello, Toneian! I just try to call out the thing's that came to mind! There are always so many that I have to cut from the video in order to keep it from running on for ages (as I tend to do LOL) but am always glad to hear that folks are enjoying them!
Thanks for taking the time to comment- I appreciate it, Toneian!!
✌🏼🤟🏼
Have my move 2 and loving it !!!! Listen to steely Dan on it Now that's a Real test!!!
Sounded Fantastic
Hey, Rusty- thanks for stopping by!
Glad to hear that you’re enjoying the speaker. I’ve been meaning to add can’t buy a thrill to my Vinyl collection- some seriously great songs on there!
Thanks again again for taking the time to comment. I really do appreciate it!
Take care
✌🏼🤟🏼
Thank you so much for this review ! My first Sonos was the Roam model and now I want to start building an Eco system with Sonos and I think my next purchase will be the Move 2.
Hello, Philip- You are in for an adventure my friend! There are so many amazing speakers within this ecosystem, you are going to have a hard time choosing between them all- That is part of the fun after-all! I am uploading my latest review as we speak which is on the Sonos 5. It is an older part of the lineup, but after spending some time with them, I felt compelled to make my own video...Even if it ends up being overshadowed by the hundreds of others already out there LOL. At any rate, give that one a watch if you'd like!!
Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting, Philip- I appreciate you!! Take care ✌🏼🤟🏼
Thank you very much for the reply !! @@NigelWorkman
@@philoupc2239 My pleasure!
Thanks Nigel. Thoughtful review. New subscriber.
Hello Eve! thanks so much for taking the time to comment- really makes a big difference for my videos! And of course a big thanks for the Sub! I will do my best to continue making thoughtful content for all of you! take care ✌🏼🤟🏼
Super informative, thanks for the video !
Brahdahhhhh!!! Thanks for watching dude! Appreciate you taking the time ✌🏼
Great review! Super helpful 🎉
Thanks Rick! Glad you enjoyed it, bro!
Can I pair another phone over Bluetooth to the sonos move 2 without wifi or the app after setup?
Hello, Irene! Yes, you can definitely pair additional devices without the Sonos app (after initial setup)
There is a toggle on the speaker that will switch between Bluetooth and and the standard WiFi modes. Once in Bluetooth mode, you will hold the same button down to go into pairing mode. Everything from there should feel pretty familiar.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
You just got a new subscriber my friend
Thank you so much, Philoup! I’m grateful to have you! ✌🏼🤟🏼
Thanks for the review!!
My pleasure! Thanks so much for watching 🙏
Between this and era 300 or maybe jbl boombox 3 which you think is a better choice in sound quality and bass? Thanks
That’s a tough one, Jorge. The reason is that I would recommend each of them for different situations. Could you tell me a little more about your current setup? Do you have any existing Sonos speakers? Is portability a big part of your wishlist? I’d be happy to figure this out with you, Jorge! We just need to dig a little deeper to make sure we check as many boxes on your wishlist as possible! ✅
Bro between this move2 and jbl authentics 300 which one you think is a better option? Which have a better quality sound and bass? Thanks a lot
Hello, Jorge- sorry for the late reply! Unfortunately I haven't tested that Series of JBL speakers. I am aware of them and was really excited to give them a shot, and then I totally forgot!! I need to put them back on the list ASAP!
Here is what I can say- You will not be disappointed with the move 2 as it is an amazing high quality speaker which also happens to be part of an amazing ecosystem of speakers!!
let me know what you end up doing and what your thoughts are if you get a chance to reply.
Take care Jorge, and thanks for stopping by! ✌🏼
There is no such thing as a Sonos upgrade :) only the need to find a new space/use for the old one haha
LOL you are totally right, Dean! I ended up putting this new move in the kitchen of all places. It’s not like there’s a full 5.1 sonos system like 5 ft away…..🤪
Big facts 😂
What mount are you using on the siding?
Hello Theodells! Here is a link you can use find the mount. It doesn’t look like the white ones are available anymore but if the black ones would work then here it is. amzn.to/3Tkm8WL
It really is an awesome mount and it looks so much better than a lot of the others that are available!
Dirías que para ver series y películas en el iPad las voces son claras y entendibles o hay una distorsión por tener mucho bajo
En realidad nunca lo he usado para ese propósito. Incluso sin intentarlo, estaría dispuesto a apostar que sonaría perfectamente bien, especialmente teniendo en cuenta que tienes altavoces separados para las frecuencias más altas. No solo eso, sino que tienes dos canales separados para las frecuencias más altas, por lo que incluso tendrías estéreo cuando miras una película, con suerte jajaja. ¡Espero que ayude! Gracias por pasarte y dejar un comentario. ¡Te aprecio! Cuidarse. ✌🏼
The white gets dirty if you have it in the grass? Or other places?
Hi Alex! To be honest, mine hasn't spent a whole lot of time in the grass, so i haven't noticed anything yet. I have however put this speaker through its paces and it has been dirtied up quite a bit. So far, it has been really easy to clean up and I have not had any marks or debris I was unable to remove. Hope that helps, Alex, and thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment! I really appreciate it ✌🏼🤟🏼
Thanks for the fast response! 🎉
You are most welcome, my friend!
✌🏼
JBL boombox? lol... Sonos Move 2 anytime anyday
Hey Luce, thanks for stopping by! I figured that statement might be slightly controversial to Sonos fans, but I will stand behind my statement which is if you need an outdoor speaker with tons of volume tons of bass and tons of battery life the JBL is absolutely going to outperform the move all day. that’s not to say that it’s the better speaker for everybody. That was geared exclusively towards the people who do not own any other Sonos speakers and are not planning on purchasing any other Sonos speakers in the future. I have Sonos speakers all over my house, and I’ve spent thousands of dollars building this ecosystem, but if I needed to bring one speaker with me meet outside of the house, and it needed to be extremely loud with clean sound and have a battery to match, the JBL is the winner, period. Even if we disagree, I’m thankful for you taking the time to leave a comment! Have a great day, brother!
Bluetooth - you must be an android person.... lols. Wait till you hear from apple folks
I’m confused LOL. I have an iPhone 15 pro max…..how does this relate to the video??
@@NigelWorkman : my 2c; hope this helps. google search "sonos wifi sound to bluetooth difference"
Does Sonos sound better on WiFi or Bluetooth?
Whether you're adding this speaker to an existing ecosystem or starting with the Move, Sonos is best when you're on Wi-Fi.
Why does Sonos use WiFi instead of Bluetooth?
Sonos: always cd quality
Streaming via WiFi allows you to send uncompressed music.
You have very Nice voice - cheers
@@PGKeeperThank you, Puneet. Very kind of you to say 😊
You still didn’t answer my question though!
I have that same speaker.the people @ Sonos are hight on crack and heroine..that speaker is barely worth 100$..it has the same sound quality as jbl..wich is borderline poor
Hey Tony! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the speaker. Seeing that you don’t like the sound of the Sonos would you mind if I asked what your recommendation would be within this same price point? I wish I had the ability to test more speakers, but maybe if you have a recommendation I can check it out?
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment!
You either got a fake or ear problems..I've got move 2, jbl xtreme 3, and 2 jbl partybox 110. Move 2 sounds a lot better than any of them. Saying it's not worth 100 bucks definitely tells me anything I need to know about you. You have no ear for good sound, probably just care for loudness and that is it. Nothing wrong about that, but would recommend going for Chinese cheap and fake products.
@@bakresonI originally responded to this thinking you were talking to me 😂
I’m like “when did I say any of that?” I was super confused LOLOL
