Sonos Move 2 Review: A beloved speaker becomes a great one

Ok I get it now. 

The original Sonos Move never caught my eye. Why would I spend $400 on a portable version of a Sonos One, an “ok but not amazing” speaker? That speaker has its fans however, and has been praised for its versatility over the rest of Sonos’ lineup despite its limitations on battery life and connectivity.

With the Move 2, a $450 successor, Sonos is hoping to make more people convert to the original speaker’s philosophy. The new speaker is now capable of true stereo playback like the Era 100, plus it integrates the more modern approach to Bluetooth connectivity introduced with the Sonos Roam. Add on 24-hour battery life (more than double the Sonos Move’s), plus USB-C connectivity and design tweaks to catch up with Sonos’ Era speakers, and the Move 2 comes out to be one of the best rounded standalone speakers I’ve ever tested. It’s not a perfect product, but it is a nearly perfect execution of the original Move’s mission.

The Ideal Use Case

I’ll start by saying what the Move 2 isn’t, and why this assumption is what kept me away from its predecessor. The Move 2 is not intended to sit places you would otherwise use an Era 100. The two speakers do offer very comparable audio experiences, and they’re both able to be used as Alexa smart speakers if you need, but the Move 2 is also larger and more expensive than the Era 100. If you want to grab multiple speakers for each room, the Era 100 is still the way to go. 

I found the Move 2 best suited for the places you listen to music often but not always, or somewhere you’d appreciate good music but may not have the space to squat an always plugged-in speaker. It’s a complimentary speaker to a growing Sonos system. 

In my case, I kept the Move 2 on its charging dock in our kitchen for the majority of my testing, and would often take it by its integrated interior grip to the bathroom for podcast-listening in the shower. This wasn’t so much to evaluate critical listening as it was to test the versatility so many Move fans raved about. I found the Move 2 to be much more enjoyable to use here compared to my Sonos Roam, mainly because the Move 2 is always on and the Roam rarely is unless you leave it plugged in to a USB-C cable or buy Sonos’ $50 magnetic wireless charging pad (the Roam works with any Qi pad but it’s not as elegant). This makes connecting to the Move 2 a quicker, more seamless process than the Roam, which takes about a minute to wake up. I also have occasional connectivity issues with the Roam that are absent with the Move 2.

Hardware Changes

My biggest gripe with the Move 2’s hardware is its charging solution. The charging base itself is fine, if not a bit large, but the 45W power adapter Sonos includes is just too large. This charger is smaller than the original Move’s but it still juts out too far from the wall to be hidden behind furniture. There are some flat-profile chargers out there that use gallium-nitride that would have been a better fit for the Move 2, and Sonos should have included one here. While it’s good you can connect the charging base to any third-party charger now, this shouldn’t be a problem users need to solve.

The Move 2’s Type-C port is upgraded over the original, now capable of accepting audio inputs from Sonos’ line-in adapter. You can also use the Move 2 as a battery bank for your smartphone with a direct Type-C connection, but power is all you can get out of the Move 2 on your phone. Sonos still doesn’t let you use the Move 2 as a USB audio device and forces users to pay for an adapter. It’s an even more disappointing limitation here than it was on the Era 100 and 300 speakers. With those speakers, the primary intent of the USB-C port is to let you connect to a record or CD player. If Sonos wants us to take the Move 2 outside, why not let us send music directly from our phones without a dongle too?

Bluetooth is arguably the biggest usability upgrade with the Move 2. The original required you to flip a switch on the speaker to go between WiFi and Bluetooth mode. Now, just like the Roam and Era speakers, Bluetooth can be enabled while still keeping the speaker on WiFi. This means you can use the Move 2 as a Bluetooth receiver for your whole home system if a friend wants to share music from their device without hopping on to your WiFi network. Bluetooth connections are snappy to initiate, with the Move 2 appearing in my phone’s Bluetooth menu within seconds, just like the Era speakers. 

Great sound for everywhere you go

Audio quality from the Move 2 is predictably comparable to the Era 100 but not identical. Both speakers showcase Sonos’ typical audio tuning choices with clear vocals and rich-not-boomy bass. The stereo tweeters really do produce pleasing highs and mids, with female vocals benefitting the most over the company’s older mono speakers. This isn’t a speaker anyone would buy for critical listening to scratch their HiFi itch, but it will impress the average listener far more than most off the shelf Bluetooth speakers.

While the Move 2 isn’t the most elegant speaker to take on a quick hike, it does sound amazingly clear outdoors. Think of it more as the campout speaker in your pack, with the Roam being the one that makes the hike. Outdoor testing was when I most appreciated the Move 2’s always-on Auto TruePlay. The speaker is loud enough alone to overcome the rush of my shower water without adjustments, but outdoors it’s doing a lot more work to sound good. I could play the Move 2 at much lower volumes than I assumed I’d need to and still appreciate the playlist my fianceé had curated for our picnic date in the park. There are LOTS of loud and large Bluetooth speakers out there meant for this use case, but the Move 2 is the only one that can blend in as a home speaker when you get back.

A great speaker, caveats and all

If you’re hoping to use the Move 2 in most places you’d otherwise use an Era 100, it is mostly up to that task save for some key limitations. The most obvious to me in my testing is that the bass on the Move 2 isn’t quite as impactful at high volumes. At volume level 80, there’s a noticeable roll off in the bass compared to the Era 100, and you can tell the mid-woofer is no longer proportionally increasing volume with the tweeters. This leaves music feeling a bit empty at high volumes which will be a problem in larger spaces. I suspected this was a limitation brought on by the Move 2’s battery housing, and that Sonos needs to limit the woofer to protect the more delicate parts of the enclosure. Sonos confirmed to Pixel Dash that the bass roll off is intentional to "protect the power system and sound experience."

Another use case you should avoid with the Move 2 is stereo pairing. Yes, it works, but at $900 Sonos has some superior alternatives. If you just want a stereo pair of speakers for stereo music playback, two Era 100s will serve you best for $500, and provide better bass output at high volumes. If you can afford to drop $900 on your sound system, a pair of Era 300s will sound infinitely better than a pair of Move 2s and offer compatibility with Dolby Atmos tracks to boot. Plus, both the Era 100 and 300 systems can be paired with a Sonos Sub down the line, where a pair of Move 2s is locked out of Sub compatibility. 

I can wholeheartedly recommend the Move 2 to anyone who had their doubts about the original Move, like myself, who is looking at outfitting their home with several Sonos speakers. The Move 2 is a great alternative for those more occasional spaces, while Sonos’ wall-powered speakers should be your anchor in the spaces you always want sound available. The Move 2 will fit well in your home as well as any Sonos speaker, while offering unparalleled flexibility. This also makes it a great starter speaker for anyone looking to get into the Sonos ecosystem, provided you can afford its asking price. The Move 2 marks the end of a very exciting year for Sonos fans and leaves the company’s core offerings stronger than ever as it expands into more new markets going forward.

Soldering / Artnet / DMX512 / ESP32 / WS2812B

Soldering and reusing an old sketch on Arduino to make sure my connections are solid.

The complexity of this project is real now OK shit just got really real. Soldered the LEDs no problem. It took 6 solid hours but I’m happy to say there were no mishaps there. Once you get into the grove its kind of a meditative experience. So now I have 953 LEDs in total. What the hell am I going to do now? I’ve got plenty of experience with smaller arrays easily handled with some strings of code, a 5V portable battery and an Arduino, but sheer amount of LEDs and the media that I want to support is going to going to require some serious steroids in power, software and hardware. Before this week, I knew none of how this was going to happen. So much learning. 

Oh great, my ESP32 is connected to WIFI. That only took 2 hours of prep.

Artnet DMX ESP32 Given that this project is going to give users the ability to wear digital imprints of other people’s faces and change them rapidly, I need another way to control the LEDs rather than hardcoding each array. I have 9 months not 9 years after all. Ideally I have a way to control the arrays with another piece of software over a WIFI or bluetooth connection. Can it be done? Why YES it can! Although I will have to say goodbye to the beloved Arduino (it’s been real). After MUCH digging, I learned of DMX512 (Digital Mutliplex) Artnet (a communications protocol) and ESP32/ESP8266 (WIFI and Bluetooth enabled micro-controllers). 

The 3x3 matrix is being powered by my computer but the media is being transferred wirelessly. Imagine the possibilities. This is a huge accomplishment for me!

Testing on a small scale Just getting the ESP32 to connect to WIFI was a mission by itself. But I finally got it to work. Then using Resolume, a DMX Artnet software I was able to digitally rebuild my WS2812B array and play media. Holy shit it worked. I’m actually playing a video on an LED matrix that I built over WIFI! Granted it’s only 9 pixels, but still. Huge accomplishment. I’ve been thinking about how to accomplish this for so long and I’m looking at it working. OK small scale check let’s move on to the big boy. 

Moving to a larger scale and quickly realizing the power draw. Why didn’t I calculate the Amps needed for a project at this scale? Still a noob to physical computing. 

History’s biggest oversight I’m embarassed to say that I made a huge oversight, one only a novice could make. I will look back at this and laugh (and probably also cry). Having only dealt with max 300 pixel arrays that ran OK on 5V 1.5Am power supplies, it never occurred to me that tripling the number of LEDs would require way more power. If each pixel needs 60 milliamps at full power and I now know that I have 953 pixels thats 57,180 milliamps or 57 Amps?! Can that be right?? That’s enough power for Benjamin Franklin to electrocute several farm animals. No wonder my 5V 3Amp power pack wasn’t cutting it. Only 54Amps short. Exposing myself that I have no clue what the hell I’m doing. Oh well. While I’m confessing, I completely fried one of my ESP32′s due to miswiring my circuit. There was smoke and everything. Thank God the LEDs were fine. That would have been an expensive mistake. 

Building the LED array digitally is painstaking but allows me to overlay video media and send DMX data packets wirelessly to the ESP32.

The cold hard truth  The reality I have to face now is that this project is going to require so much power, that there’s no way it’s going to be safely portable. This is honestly kind of devastating. There will need to be some design alterations made in order to make this work the way I want it to. Either I will have to work with fewer pixels which will result in lower resolution media, work with the number of pixels I have now but only power very few at a time and at a very low light, or buy a bench power supply and have the project be stationary. Ok I made up my mind I’m going with the bench power supply. Ultimately I want to take this as far as I can go. To be honest, 953 pixels was just a starting point for me and a proof of concept. I would eventually like to explore tighter pixel matrices which will require... you guessed it, more power.

Last update... Finally got it running remotely from a power bank. Doesn’t look like the image just yet. I’m still debugging.

Where there’s a will, there’s a way I take back everything I said. After another day of tinkering, rewiring and recoding I was finally able to get the entire 953 pixel matrix to dynamically display content remotely from a standalone power bank. I was even able to wire a level shifter to convert the 5V Din to 3.3V (although I’m not convinced it was needed with the amount of draw from the power bank). The trick was optimizing the DMX512 output so that the LEDs run at 20% brightness. So this is great, right? I’m portable... right? Only snag is the huge lag with animations. This could be any number of problems including poor WIFI connection but my assumption is that its due to a lack of power. I’m going to get a power bench and see if that improves frame rate and lag, as well as potentially running multiple data lines to the strips. The good news is my circuit is super stable. It’s been running for hours and there have been no issues with overheating.

Holy shit it’s working! BTW the final output will not be swirling rainbows. This is just to test that every light/color is working ;)

Finally... It works Turned out to be a software issue. So glad I didn’t give up or try to rewire, re-solder or pay for an expensive power bench. Sometimes you’re convinced you know what the issue is before you’ve exhausted every possible avenue with the tools you have. So happy I could cry. Next step will be to solder the circuits together and start putting the lights onto the helmet itself. I can now play any media directly onto the matrix over WiFi!

Tightening it was a little tricky and required some trial and error on our part, but I'd call that operator error related to inexperience, not a flaw in the kit. We have installed a secondary brake just to add a back-up for safety. It's only been up for about five days but I bet we've made 500 trips down the line already.

I had more than enough colors so I gave some to my 6yr old niece and she had a lot of fun trying on the different hair colors."--Abbie Get it from Amazon for $14.99 19.

I bought spare batteries too (all blue). and used my spare batteries first and they lasted over 20 min of near continuous use. Next I put in the batteries that came with them (one blue and one green). The blue one performed the same, but the green battery died after 5 minutes.

This week I finally got to the movies to see Aquaman, we said goodbye to a beloved furry family member, I got a blog award from a fellow blogger and tried out a neat portable phone charger from Mogix.

Week in Review – January 28 – February 3

Aquaman! I rarely get out to the movies these days, but Aquaman managed to get me to the theater for a date night. I was a little apprehensive about the movie to start with because I still kind of identify with the classic blond Aquaman, but I was willing to overlook that in exchange for a mostly shirtless Jason Momoa in clingy wet denim.

I liked the movie, but there were some pretty cheesy parts. There were several snorts and derisive grunts from my husband. I could practically feel him rolling his eyes in the dark. Did I mention I’m the family geek? I would have liked a little more backstory about him developing his powers as a kid, but overall I enjoyed the movie. Enough said.

On Wednesday we had a sad day and found our kitty, also named Wednesday, had passed away in the night. She was almost 18 and lived a good long life full of snuggles and warm laps. We brought her with us when we moved to Florida from San Diego, so she was our California girl. I never had such a sweet, loving cat. Just writing this makes me tear up. She was getting so old that it was obvious the end was coming and I thought I was ready, but I guess you never really are… She is very much missed. I feel like the house is missing a little piece, and I still look for her every morning. Our fur babies really do take a little piece of our hearts when they leave us.

Sunshine Blogger Award – I remember when I first started blogging (about 10 years ago on a different blog) I used to do a lot of different awards. The Liebster, Sisterhood, Blogger Recognition and so on. They really do help expand your audience and give you something to write about if you are stuck. These days I’m not so good at participating because I have too much to write about and not enough time to write. But I still think it’s nice when someone takes the time to acknowledge my blog and give a little shoutout. So thanks to both the Stay in Bed Mom and WhenTheFitHitstheShan for nominating me for the Sunshine Blogger Award last week.

And now for this week’s Product Sponsor – Mogix Portable Cell Phone Chargers

Mogix sent me their Power Bank 5000mAh ultra thin portable chargers in both black and white and I was immediately impressed by how slim and lightweight they were. Smaller than an iPhone, but powerful enough to charge any cell phone in a matter of hours, this is definitely a handy little gadget for the baby bag! (or purse, car, pocket, travel bag…)

The charger comes with its own power cord and you then use your own phone’s power cord to plug into the battery. They say you can get one to three charges from one fully charged battery, and about 500 charges overall. It’s a no-brainer to keep one of these around for emergencies! Check out my more in-depth review and test run on the Momtastic Mommy Blog: Mogix Makes Portable Cell Phone Power that Fits in Your Pocket

Cheers!

    Week in Review: Aquaman, Goodbye Wednesday, a Sunshine Blogger Award and Mogix Portable Charger This week I finally got to the movies to see Aquaman, we said goodbye to a beloved furry family member, I got a blog award from a fellow blogger and tried out a neat portable phone charger from Mogix.
