Sonos is creating new ways to enjoy your sound yet again with an update that makes the Sonos Move even more appealing. The new Sonos Move 2 comes with meaningful updates that put its competition to shame.
The new hallmark of the Sonos Move 2 is an update to true stereo audio. The update brings immersive music and sound for every event – be it at the beach, the pool, at the campsite or in your dining room. Yep – that’s right. You’ll be able to use the Move 2 with peace of mind at the pool or beaches with peace of mind thanks to its IP56 rating. Keep in mind that this only means that the speaker is splashproof and not meant to be taken with you when you swim. To make things less of a hassle, the Move 2 comes with wireless charging capabilities, You’ll be able to use the wireless charging pad that comes in the box with every unit and it’ll be fully charged anytime you need to go.
In addition to these updates, the Move 2 now has 24 hours of battery; that’s double the battery life of the original Move. You’ll also be able to stream your audio over WiFi or Bluetooth. It also comes with Trueplay tuning which will continually work to optimise your sound to bring the fullest, richest sound for the environment you’re in. It can also now support concurrent connections from both WiFi and Bluetooth as well as stereo pair to another Move 2 unit. You also have the option to use the Sonos Line-in Adapter.
It’s not just about the music with this new offering. It’s also one of the most sustainable speakers from Sonos. The Move 2 has been optimised to reduce idle energy usage by more than 40%. It also incorporates recycled plastics and has a replaceable battery unit. However, with the replaceable battery, you will need to go to a Sonos service centre or a TC Acoustic Service centre in Malaysia and Singapore.
Of course, the Move 2 comes with a design update with the minimalistic design cues we saw in the Sonos Era. This includes the same capacitive volume slider and Sonos Voice Control. You’ll also be able to use Amazon Alexa and Apple Airplay2. More controls are available through the Sonos app available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
