The Sonos Move 2 arrives on 20 September

Translation: machine translated
The new Sonos Move 2 is a portable speaker that is also ideal for use at home. Sonos has significantly improved the battery life in particular compared to the previous model.
With a weight of three kilograms, the Sonos Move 2 is only portable to a limited extent. Portable here means above all that the speaker is not dependent on mains power. At home, it can be integrated into an existing Sonos system via Wi-Fi. It is also possible to combine two speakers into a stereo pair. This also works via Bluetooth when travelling. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi can also be used simultaneously.
Compared to the predecessor model from 2019, Sonos has roughly doubled the battery life. According to the manufacturer, it is now 24 hours instead of 11. The second major change concerns the speakers. A single speaker can now produce stereo sound. This reminds me of the Sonos Era 100, the successor to the Sonos One, which also has stereo sound. However, the spatial effect of a single speaker is modest.
Like its predecessor, the Sonos Move 2 is IP56-certified and therefore resistant to dust and water jets. It can withstand a thunderstorm, but probably not a dip in the lake.
The device can not only be charged via the USB port, but external sources can also be connected using the Line-In-Adapter. A charging station is included in the scope of delivery.

We will bring you a test as soon as possible.
