According to leaked details, Sonos is reportedly preparing to release the Move 2 speaker, an upgraded version of its original Sonos Move. The Move 2 is expected to offer major improvements, including upgrading from mono to stereo sound, resulting in better audio quality. The battery life is also said to increase significantly, with the Move 2 offering up to 24 hours of playback, making it more suitable for all-day use without needing to recharge. The speaker will also support Bluetooth 5.0 and WiFi 6 for improved connectivity with modern devices.
The Move 2 will have similar features to the Sonos Roam, allowing users to share Bluetooth audio across their home. The speaker will retain the IP56 dust and water resistance rating, making it suitable for outdoor use even in rainy or windy conditions. The controls may be revised, and a mic cutoff switch is expected to be included.
The expected price of the Sonos Move 2 is $449, which is $50 more than its predecessor. However, the added portability and improved features could justify the higher price for consumers looking for a versatile speaker that can be used both indoors and outdoors without the need for multiple devices. Sonos is rumored to be launching the Move 2 at the end of September.
