New Sonos customer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an excellent speaker. Awesome quality. The only issue I had is the ease of pairing. I wish the wi fi option would automatically connect but you have to remember to turn on the wifi option to lair every time. Other than I would give it a 10. I also wish the price was a little lower but I enjoy the speaker.

Open Box “Excellent” is not so Excellent.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The product itself is great, I love Sonos. However the “open box” system with Best Buy Must be broken. My Sonos came in dirty on the bottom like it had been outside in the grass and had a dent in the front side. “open box, excellent” must mean a completely different thing now a days. It was packages so poorly in its original Sonos box, able to move and slam around in the box like a cardboard piece was missing inside. This is probably where the damage came from. Not returning because I don’t want to wait for another system, but disappointed in BestBuys screening process of returned goods. Please do better.

Great Speaker
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great speaker. This speaker sounds very clear and is very good for songs that are singing. Rap is decent on it but I would lean towards some other speakers if you want to listen to rap. However, the smart features are good and the sound quality and convince of the charging dock that comes with it makes it a great speaker.

A great sounding portable speaker. Whether you’re having a party indoors or on your patio, the Move is an amazing speaker to own. The Sonos app has great stations plus AirPlay and Bluetooth options make this even more versatile. The handle behind makes it easy to carry around and charging base has a minimalist design. Easy to setup and always on the go!

Outstanding Speaker
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.WAOOO ! This product is outstanding. After tested Bose Home 500 and the performance sound quality I skip that option and I'm super happy with the sound quality and music options offer with Sonos Move and the Sonos Platform. Never tested before and the product quality is awesome. My first Sono product and I can assure you that will not be the last ! Now consider the new sound bar to be add to my room TV. Sonos Move 5 star A+++

Sonos Move reviewWhen you first encounter the Move, Sonos' first portable speaker, be prepared for something big. At 9.44 inches tall and 6.6 pounds (3 kg), it's significantly larger than the Sonos One and also costs about twice as much at $400 (£399, AU$649)

Q: QuestionCan I pair other sonos speakers?
Asked by MARCOPOLO.
- A:Answer It can be added to a group of speakers, but you cannot pair it as a stereo pair with other speakers. It can only be paired as a stereo pair with another Sonos Move.
Answered by Reno
Q: QuestionCan it be placed in direct sunlight? Are there plastic components that could melt?
Asked by Steve.
- A:Answer This electronic is built like a tank. I have had 10hr days fishing on a bass boat with no issues. I have used it outside in direct sunlight for up to 8hrs while working in the yard and in our pool. Living in the desert where temperatures can reach 120 degrees anything will eventually wear. To date the hottest temp has been 107 and I have experienced no issues.

Q: QuestionCan I play 2+ Move speakers via its Bluetooth connection — for a mono sound.
Asked by TexBob.
- A:Answer It's my understanding that two of these Sonos "Move" speakers can be paired for stereo sound using WiFi but NOT Bluetooth. You can use them INDIVIDUALLY using Bluetooth (but not two of them). If you want stereo sound using two speakers, you can only do that using WiFi. Hope that makes sense.

Q: QuestionCan this be left outside plugged in, since it is waterproof?
Asked by bsardo.
- A:Answer The Move is designed to live wherever works best for your listening. However, you would need to make sure the electrical outlet is protected from the elements. The Move itself can withstand all types of weather but needs to be properly connected to weather proof outlets.
