    The Sonos Move was (easily) one of the Best purchases we made last year. Don’t be put off by the cost, it’s entirely worth it! 👍🏼😀

    Received it from my son for Christmas, phenomenal sound and easy to move around, in doors out doors. Not that heavy! Obviously I didn’t buy it myself but I would have eventually. My entire house is setup for Sonos, every room, every tv. Love the system and how it interacts with daily life, kinda like have Phillips hue lighting.

    I started one day with an impulse buy of the Sonos Beam. The next day I bought 2 Ones and the Sub.
    I then bought the Move and then the Arc. Replaced the Ones with 5's and now the Bean and 1's are in the bedroom
    Damm impulse buying :)

    Really enjoying my Sonos move, I found one second hand used but in perfect new condition for half the price. I wouldn’t have bought it at full retail just for my own personal reasons that I feel I didn’t want to spend the full price for a portable speaker. With that said, I still think its worth it if you want to spend the money on it. Its great

    I work in a gatehouse so I listen to music or a podcast all the time. This speaker is too perfect for me. It fills the outside when I want it to, and it easily fills the large gatehouse I love it.

    Appreciate the vid, and the one-year on update. I do wish you showed how easy (or clunky as has been the case for me) it is to switch to/from WiFI/BT. But your unbiased professionalism is appreciated.
    I should add, after 11 years of SONOS speakers, my new Move has easily become my favorite. I wish I hadn't taken the initial step to SONOS portability w the Roam, which is now just a dust bunny.

    Just upgraded my system to S2 and picked up a Move in the process. I'm impressed with the build quality (although I expected that from Sonos), it sounds great, and I'm happy that it has USB type-C. Looking forward to using it around the pool this summer + bringing it along on family picnics.

  • @areliablesource2848
    @areliablesource2848 3 роки тому

    I started off with my Move in the bedroom, grouped with a Sonos Beam. The auto Trueplay seemed to "get in the way" with the TV as the source. The Move would cut out completely for short periods of time when initially turn on. I suspect this was from the speakers were placed within the room and the auto Trueplay was having problems resolving the "best sound". To "solve" that problem I swapped the Move and a Play 5 from the living room. Everything is fine now. I use the Move in rooms that are not frequently used; basement, garage, patio. I plan to take it when I visit friends out of town. The Move is a great speaker.

    Amazing sound, seems durable, battery life is good BUT: I too have experienced the battery drain even when I CONFIRMED that the speaker was completely off. Went from 87% to 2% in just over a day without use. I have no idea why this occurs and Sonos has yet to address the issue.
    Nitpicks:
    -You cannot use the Bluetooth feature straight out of the box. Sonos requires you to connect to WiFi (where the product is forced to be registered) before Bluetooth can be accessed.
    -It takes some time when powered on (from complete shutdown) to connect to wifi before you can use it or switch to Bluetooth. Perhaps as long as 20 seconds.
    -When powered on away from WiFi, the speaker STILL tries to connect to WiFi BEFORE allowing you to switch to Bluetooth. Annoying!

  • @tomsmock7674
    @tomsmock7674 3 роки тому +1

    Currently I have two Sonos moves for over a year. When using them singularly in the Bluetooth mode, the transition from WiFi to Bluetooth can be cumbersome. Also when battery goes dead the memory at times has been lost and a reset is necessary. Overall great sound, but Sonos’s Bluetooth technology seem a little bit antiquated. Still a fan.
    BTW it would be great to have a switch to control the DSP for voice and other audio preferences.

  • @andrewkuhne2586

    The *Move* is an outstanding speaker which we love as a speaker, we do have an issue though in the app. We find that when my wife is playing music through the move speaker when I connect aswell it seems to not want to play my tracks at 1st ? I have to go in a few times to select it from my other *SONOS* equipment to get it working & it has still dropped out a few times. *SONOS* app was so much better before the update, I think they really need to look at this if possible.

    Like your videos but I would say your off on TV - yes you can connect it (just not the traditional method). If you have an Apple TV you can airplay the audio to it. Also, if you have a Roku you can play audio thru the iPhone app and when you have it setup to Bluetooth to the Move you can play tv audio thru that too.

    • @smarthomesounds
      @smarthomesounds  3 роки тому +1

      Hi Dimos, unfortunately the Sonos Sub cannot be paired with the Move as the app won't let you. They have done this because they think it could cause usability issues like when you take the Move to a different room, the Sub is left in the same place. You can stereo pair 2 Moves however which will give you more sound stage and the bass can be increased in the Sonos App in the EQ settings. I hope this helps!

      @smarthomesounds  2 роки тому

      Yes, AirPlay 2 from an Apple TV would be the only way around it but seeing as the Move has been designed to be used as a portable speaker, it still isn't going to sound great as a TV speaker.

    Loved the move when I first got it. It worked easily with Airplay 2 and my HomePods. Then it suddenly quit connecting. I can occasionally get it to connect if I take the HomePods out of the mix, but that wasn't the point of getting it. I want the same music playing inside the house and out on my deck. It's good as a great sounding Bluetooth speaker, but not as functional as I really need it to be.

    Great review with FAQs answered, Thank you. I probably will hold off for this exact unit for now. I hope that either this current unit or its next iteration has some added features such as synching two via Bluetooth or that has more hardwire connections or even higher IP rating (i.e. 67) and maybe even a slightly larger size option. I intend to use it around home but also on the patio deck or when camping with trailer (inside or outside). Otherwise an almost perfect product for me, though lacking some of that extra bass I like (a little more please). And maybe it could support ALAC or a aptX version of Bluetooth codec.

      Hi Eric, as this would be a Bluetooth connection, you can't share this audio on your other Sonos speakers at the same time. You would need a Sonos speaker with a line in connected to a turntable that you can then share the turntable audio to other Sonos speakers over WiFi. Hope that helps!

Unfortunately all I can do is turn on/off Bose. It doesn't support volume or changing channels, but I believe that is due to the particular speaker I have.... Worth getting if you already have other devices to use it with... I don't sit around and ask Alexa questions much so that doesn't really matter to me....
