Sonos unveils Sonos Move 2, expanding on the power of the first version
The new version of the Sonos portable speaker features improvements in battery life, controls, and features to take music anywhere.
Sonos has unveiled a new portable speaker, the Sonos Move 2, that offers improvements inside and out in sound, performance, and connectivity, all in a sustainable design that lets you take your music inside and out.
Architecture
The Sonos Move 2 features a number of improvements to its architecture, from a redesigned dual tweeter to a precision-tuned woofer for deep and dynamic bass. The first major change from its predecessor is a stereo sound that can be shared with other Sonos devices, or even another Sonos Move 2. It also features Trueplay technology, which optimizes the sound based on your environment.
Features
Among its new features, it stands out that now, unlike its predecessor, its battery lasts a total of 24 hours with a charge through a wireless charging base. To this is added various connectivity functions: from an easier Bluetooth and Wi-Fi 6, making that everyone in the house of the party to join the music to a Bluetooth connectivity with other devices of the brand to share music. It is important to note that you can connect any device with a 3.5 mm output through a USB-C adapter. Also, the device has an IP56 rating, which protects it from both water drops and other elements such as sun, rain, snow, and dirt, among other weather elements.
On the other hand, you can use Sonos Voice Control, Amazon Alexa, the Sonos app, Apple AirPlay2, and Bluetooth to play, pause, and check battery status. The portable speaker will carry over the redesigned controls that debuted on the Era 100 and 300.
Pricing and Availability
The Sonos Move 2 will be available on September 20 this year in three colors - Black, White, and Olive - at a price of $449. Preorders will be available later this month on September 13th
