Sonos Move 2: A portable speaker with longer battery life, better sound quality

Sonos

The Sonos Move gets refreshed four years after it was first introduced. The Move 2 stays true to the original with a relatively large, portable speaker capable of withstanding some drops, bumps, and extreme temperatures. But this time, it borrows design inspo from the Era 100 and Era 300 with a similar top panel touch control design. It also has a dedicated forward and back buttons and a USB-C line-in jack for connecting it to a turntable or other audio equipment.

The Move 2 also inherits the Era 100's dual angled tweeters. The battery life gets doubled, too, with a promise of over 24 hours instead of just 11 hours. Sonos also introduces a new olive green colour.
