Smart assistant integration (Alexa

The Move 2 supports Sonos Voice and Amazon Alexa, giving owners hands-free control over playback, volume and smart-home routines when connected over Wi-Fi, which reviewers value in voice-controlled homes. However, it does not support Google Assistant and cannot use voice commands to control playback over Bluetooth, which may disappoint listeners invested in that ecosystem or wanting fully hands-free portable use.

The Charge 6 omits built in support for voice assistants such as Siri or Google Assistant, and some reviewers find the absence of any smart assistant integration surprising on a sixth generation Bluetooth speaker.
