Move (1st Gen)

One of the most exciting propositions for this is to have something between a Roam and a Move, but still get the benefits of the charging dock. That feature is killer on the Move to ensure it’s always fully charged when I’m ready to use it. The Roam has that wireless charging pad but it’s kinda shit.

I have a Roam. It’s the one piece I wouldn’t buy again. The Move I like. As well as the whole house system (dual ceiling speakers in 5 rooms) and an Arc Ultra.

I have 4. Only issue I have is whenever the Sonos system gets glitchy, these seem to be the speakers most affected. Losing volume control, etc. But when they work, they’re awesome. I bring them by the pool and the system sounds amazing

Not enough to tell you not to buy one, but they can be annoying sometimes.

Important to know. I would like to have a couple of these outside for the pool, but not if the charging station is as fragile as the Move's, and not if having them docked messes up battery life.

I can already do that with the Moves. It's a pain. I would rather have an outdoor option that I didn't have to bring in or dash to unplug chargers if it starts sprinkling.

No, a charging option that maintains some level of weather resistance so I don't have to run around grabbing chargers if it starts to drizzle like you have to do with the Moves.

What, do you think people are clapping the speakers together to make noise?  They are connecting the speakers through the Sonos app, and then the speakers are falling off and not being recognized. When no other smart device in my home has this issue, it's a Sonos problem.  When my buddy who is a commercial installer has these issues, it's not user error, but poor design and QC.

I just bought one and love it. Great sound for what it is. And the portability is amazing. I bought it for grilling and hanging outside and being able to come inside with the same music rocking. It does that without complaint. The portability has been a game changer as I can place it in random rooms of my house either because I want to, or I’m trying to achieve seamless sound in multiple places. I was doing a project that was adjacent to my kitchen where I have to Sonos Ones. I put the move on the adjacent space. Both playing the same music, is it high fidelity, no. But it allowed me to jam out, not use ear buds, and not have to start stop music as I moved between spaces. I want another so I can have true stereo in the backyard. But one is already enough to annoy the neighbors! Maybe in the next house!

Yeah, I take my move on trips when we are driving somewhere and that’s fine, but still takes more space than I really need. Rarely can I crank it to a point a lesser product like the Play couldn’t serve my needs.

Agreed. And the move is kind of a beast to just take to like the beach for yourself.

The fact that you can synchronize up to four of these without wifi using a single bluetooth source while charging devices from the USB port is pretty damn cool. My OG Moves are a bit long in the tooth now so will be replacing them with a couple of Plays.
