Sonos Move 2 Portable Speaker

Product Overview

The Sonos Move 2 portable speaker is a battery-powered, dual-tweeter wireless speaker designed for commercial environments that need high-quality audio without a fixed installation. It supports both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, making it a versatile portable Wi-Fi Bluetooth speaker for commercial deployment in spaces ranging from training rooms to outdoor events. With up to 24 hours of battery life and auto-switching between Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modes, the Move 2 integrates into a Sonos multi-room audio system when on the charging base and operates as a standalone Sonos portable speaker for multi-room audio when carried off it. Available in Matte Black and Matte White to match commercial interior finishes.

Product Description

The Sonos Move 2 replaces the original Move with a dual-tweeter stereo architecture, delivering true left-right stereo separation from a single portable unit rather than the mono output common on battery-powered speakers. One midwoofer handles low- and mid-frequency content while the two tweeters are positioned to create a wider soundstage, which is particularly effective in medium-sized rooms or open areas where a single speaker needs to cover the space.

On Wi-Fi, the Move 2 behaves like any other Sonos zone — it can be grouped with fixed Sonos devices, controlled via the Sonos app, and used with AirPlay 2 from iOS or macOS devices. When taken off the charging base and moved out of Wi-Fi range, it automatically switches to Bluetooth 5.0, maintaining playback continuity without requiring manual mode switching. This makes it practical for outdoor events, all-hands gatherings, or temporary audio setups where running cable is not an option.

Battery life is rated at up to 24 hours, which covers full business-day use without recharging. The included wireless charging base uses a 45W USB-C PD adapter and also supports direct USB-C charging when the base is not available, giving facilities teams flexibility in how the speaker is maintained. The charging base can be left at a fixed location, and the speaker returned to it between uses to keep it ready.

Sonos Move 2 outdoor sound system deployments benefit from the speaker's IP56 dust and water resistance rating, making it suitable for covered outdoor areas, loading docks, patios, and similar environments. Trueplay tuning automatically adjusts the EQ to the acoustic characteristics of wherever the speaker is placed, which reduces the need for manual EQ adjustments when the speaker moves between rooms.

A: Yes. When connected to Wi-Fi and sitting on its charging base, the Move 2 functions as a standard Sonos zone and can be grouped with any other Sonos device on the same account for synchronized or independent playback.

Q: What happens to audio playback when the Move 2 leaves Wi-Fi range?
A: The Move 2 automatically transitions from Wi-Fi to Bluetooth 5.0 without interrupting playback. When it returns to Wi-Fi range and is reconnected to the network, it switches back to Wi-Fi mode.

Q: Is the Move 2 rated for outdoor use?
A: Yes. The Move 2 carries an IP56 dust and water resistance rating, making it suitable for covered outdoor areas, patios, and similar environments. It is not rated for submersion.

Q: Can the Move 2 be used with a third-party control system?
A: When on Wi-Fi, the Move 2 is accessible via the Sonos API and can be controlled by third-party systems that have Sonos integration. Bluetooth mode is controlled directly from a paired device and does not support control system integration.

Q: What does Trueplay tuning do on the Move 2?

Q: What is the warranty on the Sonos Move 2?
A: Sonos provides a one-year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects from the date of purchase.
