American audio maker Sonos has launched the much-awaited Move 2 speaker that was leaked last month. It arrives as the successor to the original Sonos Move that debuted nearly four years ago in 2019. The Move 2 packs significant upgrades over its predecessor in various aspects including battery capacity, sound, and more. The latest offering is also the third portable speaker from the brand in its portfolio. Read on to know more about it below. 

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. 

The Sonos Move 2 is compatible with Sonos Voice Control, Amazon Alexa, and AirPlay 2. It can also be connected to a turntable, computer, and any other audio source via a line-in adapter. The device also features Wi-Fi6 and Bluetooth 5. The Sonos Move 2 is powered by a removable 44Wh battery unit that is claimed to offer 24 hours of usage. 

The Sonos Move 2 is priced at $449 and is offered in Olive, White, and Black colors. It will be available globally starting September 20.

The post Sonos Move 2 Portable Speaker Debuts With 24-Hour Battery Life appeared first on Gizmochina.

Sonos, a company known for making high-end speakers, is now gearing up to launch its next portable speaker, dubbed Sonos Move 2 in a few weeks, most likely towards the end of next month.

As per the report from The Verge, the upcoming Sonos Move 2 speaker will be similar to the first-generation Sonos Move in terms of design and weigh a bit over six pounds.

While the speaker is said to have the same design, the company has reportedly made several improvements when it comes to audio performance, connectivity, and battery life. The report from The Verge has also revealed the first look of the Sonos Move 2 (pictured above), which it claims to have obtained from sources familiar with the company’s plans.

It is said that the Move 2 speaker will come with support for true stereo audio playback, made possible because of the addition of dual-angled tweeters. This is a major improvement given that the original Move supported only mono output as it had only one tweeter. There will also be a woofer for handling bass.

The device features Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0 for connectivity and has a new switch on the back for disabling the voice assistant microphones. For voice assistance, it supports Amazon Alexa and Sonos Voice Control but has dropped Google Assistant.

The speaker will have support for line-in audio through a USB-C port and the users will also be able to charge mobile devices using the same port. It will also have IP56 ratings, making it dust and water resistance, and to protect it from drops and accidents, the company is said to have opted for shock-absorbent materials.

As for the battery life, the device is touted to support continuous playback of around 24 hours, more than double the 10-hour playback supported by the first-generation Sonos Move. The standby endurance should also improve as the company has designed the battery to use less energy when idle.

Coming to pricing and availability, the Sonos Move 2 will reportedly come in three colors — Black, White, and Olive. It is expected to be priced at $449 in the United States and could be launched in a few weeks.
