Sonos - Move (1st Gen)

Was the worst sonos product I owned by a long shot. Returned mine to Costco and upgraded to the Move and no regrets.

The move is amazing. Took two 1st gens camping last week with a starlink mini. No ragrets

I’m looking to buy a new portable bluetooth speaker with some solid bass and pretty clear sound. I’m not an audiophile by any means but can tell the difference between quality sound. I have tried several bluetooth speakers in the past such as the beats pill, jbl flip 6, jbl charge 5, sonos move 2, treblab hd 360, and jbl party box 310. Out of the ones i’ve tried, the sonos move is my favorite in terms of size, design and sound. the jbl party box obviously sounds the best for me in terms of bass but is a bit too big for me. the other speakers I have tried were too small/ lacked the clean bass I like. I really enjoy the sound of those two speakers because it is very clear and solid sounding with pounding bass without sounding cheap. what would be a solid speaker for me to buy preferably something portable, durable, has solid bass, and under $400? Also, i am not someone who really cares about having a flat balanced sound signature or accurate sound and all that. if it sounds good and solid then i like it. i guess i prefer the sound signature of companies like sonos, jbl, and harmon kardon. it would also be useful to mention that i usually listen to rap, hip hop, trap, pop, rnb, and stuff like that. that may be why i prefer the speakers that i do since these music genres usually have a lot of bass/treble.

For people who want something to move around their house, get the Move, it’s great. For people who want something small for taking away from their home, just get any ordinary Bluetooth speaker like jbl The roam is terrible, it’s battery will eventually turn it into a paper weight, the UX is awful, sold it as soon as they warrantied me a new one

The roam is not so impressive, move at least then

If sound quality is most important for you than volume, then Sonos is your best bet on their roam and move series. OF course there are better options but those are without battery, non waterproof and portable is not their focus.

Then sonos move 2
