Battery life (if portable)

Across reviews the Move 2’s rated 24-hour battery life is seen as ample for full days of indoor-outdoor listening, with real-world tests around 22 hours at moderate volume with Wi-Fi and voice enabled. The included charging base and user-replaceable battery make it easy to keep the speaker topped up, and Sonos says it can sit on its dock without harming long-term capacity.

Across reviews, the Charge 6 is seen as easily lasting a full day at typical listening levels, with JBL claiming up to 24 hours normally and 28 hours with Playtime Boost. Standardized testing at around 80dB continuous playback finds roughly 13 hours of runtime, while more moderate 50 percent volume use in this review delivered just under 24 hours, indicating strong but somewhat optimistic stamina that still comfortably covers most outdoor days and parties.

Rated around 14 hours of playtime, the Wonderboom 4 often matches or exceeds that figure in testing, comfortably lasting long outdoor days or several heavy use sessions between weekend charges.

LG quotes roughly 29 to 30 hours of playback for the Bounce, and while real world tests still tend to land nearer 20 hours at moderate volumes with lighting enabled, reviewers consistently regard its stamina as strong enough to cover full days or long evenings on a single charge and note that it can outlast more compact rivals like Sonos’s Roam series.

Reviews report roughly 20 hours of playtime from a single charge at moderate levels, which most consider solid all day stamina for outdoor listening and parties, though heavy, bass-forward listening or using the USB C port to top up a phone can noticeably reduce overall runtime.

Across feedback, battery life is seen as acceptable but unspectacular, with claims of up to twelve hours translating to roughly nine to ten hours in mixed real world use, which most reviewers still consider more than enough for a compact speaker to handle a day of casual listening even if some rivals last longer.

Most reviews describe roughly 12 hour battery life as acceptable for a day of moderate listening but modest overall, noting that playtime can drop to around three hours at maximum volume and that several similarly sized rivals can run much longer, and some newer impressions specifically criticize Bose for not extending runtime on the second generation or moving closer to a 20 hour rating.

Battery life on the Rave 3S tops out around a half day of typical use, with this review reiterating that its roughly 12-hour rating feels modest for such a large, heavy speaker and requires regular overnight charging during camping trips or long events.
