This Portable Sonos Speaker Is at Its Lowest Price Ever Right Now

At $336 (down from its usual $449), the Sonos Move 2 is seeing its lowest price ever right now, according to price trackers. That makes it a bit easier to justify if you’ve been eyeing a portable Bluetooth speaker that doesn’t compromise on sound.

This isn’t some lightweight travel companion you toss in a beach bag. It’s nearly 6.6 pounds, built like a tank, and clearly meant to pull double duty as both an indoor speaker and an outdoor one. It looks clean, charges on a minimalist wireless base, and comes in either matte black or white.

The audio setup includes dual tweeters for stereo separation and a single woofer that holds its own, especially at moderate volumes. At higher levels, the bass pulls back a bit to prevent distortion, but unless you’re constantly maxing it out, that won’t be a huge issue, notes this PCMag review. Bluetooth 5.0 is a little behind the times and won’t please audiophiles who want higher-res streaming on the go. But this speaker was clearly built with wifi use in mind—and on that front, it shines. Pair it with the Sonos app, and you get access to EQ adjustments, TruePlay room tuning, and the ability to link it to other Sonos speakers. It also supports AirPlay 2 and hands-free voice control with both Alexa and Sonos Voice.

IP56 rating means it’ll survive a heavy downpour or occasional rinsing. The battery life has been bumped up to a solid 24 hours (though that number depends on how loud you play it and how often you use voice or wifi features), and the app makes setup and everyday use easy, whether you’re already in the Sonos ecosystem or not. The Move 2 is expensive, no doubt, and Bluetooth specs could be better. But if you care about full-bodied, room-filling sound, smart features, and portability that doesn’t feel like a toy, this might be the speaker to grab, especially while it’s at its best price yet.
