Sonos Move 2 specifications and features
The Sonos Move 2 is a portable speaker that can be easily carried everywhere with the built-in handle. It is also ultra-durable and IP52-certified making it resistant to spills, splashes, rain, and dirt. The shock-absorbent materials are said to protect against drops. The Move 2 also blends in easily with the interiors of a home. The top surface of the speaker has touch-sensitive buttons with LED light for adjusting the volume and controlling music playback. There is also a physical switch to disable the microphone for security purposes.
In terms of audio, the Sonos Move 2 is equipped with two tweeters for stereo sound and a precision-turned woofer for delivering deep and dynamic bass. There is a Trueplay tunning feature that uses the speaker’s microphones to analyze and optimize the sound and offer the best listening experience based on the user’s surroundings. The audio device can also be paired with additional speakers for stereo sound output. The Sonos Move 2 can play content from any service including Spotify, Amazon Music, and more. Users can also control the speaker directly from connected supported apps.
