Since 2019, Sonos has seemingly completely forgotten about the Move - now the portable speaker is being replaced by its successor. The Sonos Move was the manufacturer's first mobile speaker that can be used both on the go and indoors. Thanks to the automatic Trueplay tuning, this should always find the perfect sound setting, regardless of the environment. Fans can be happy because Sonos has turned a few screws. The Move 2 uses a new sound architecture with two tweeters and a woofer, which is intended to offer stereo sound.
Also new is the significantly longer battery life of up to 24 hours, instead of just 10 hours in the predecessor. The energy consumption in standby mode is also said to have been reduced by up to 40%. With the Move 2, the whole package is also available in a new interface, i.e. the volume slider from the Era series.
