• Build quality ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.4

• Design & aesthetics ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.4
  The Move 2 offers a clean, modern design with matte color options, a wraparound grille and a matching wireless charging cradle that together create an understated, decor-friendly look for indoor and outdoor spaces.

• Dust resistance rating ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.3
  With an IP56 rating that includes a high level of dust protection, the Move 2 is well suited to outdoor use where wind-blown dust or dirt might be present, keeping its internal components shielded in everyday conditions.
• On-device controls ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 7 reviews 4.3
  Touch controls keep the top panel clean, with a groove-style volume slider, dedicated speech-bubble control for muting assistants and a rear mic switch that make everyday operation intuitive, though limited power-on feedback can still make it hard to tell at a glance whether the speaker is active.
• Smart features ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 7 reviews 4.3
  Across reviews, the Move 2 is praised for combining Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, AirPlay 2, Trueplay/Auto TruePlay tuning, multi-room grouping and optional USB-C line-in into one flexible package, with the ability to rebroadcast Bluetooth or wired sources to other Sonos speakers; its reliance on the app, omission of Google Assistant and relatively basic but privacy-minded Sonos Voice still slightly undercut overall convenience.
• Frequency response balance ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 6 reviews 4.3
  Most reviews characterise the Move 2 as generally well-balanced with open, forward vocals and a punchy low end, but some listeners hear the default tuning as slightly boxy or bass-forward, especially at everyday settings.

  An IP56 rating and successful testing in heavy rain make the Move 2 a confident choice for use in gardens, patios and other outdoor spots where it may be exposed to showers and bad weather, though reviewers stress it is not fully waterproof and should not be submerged.

  The Move 2 integrates into Sonos multi-room setups and can be stereo paired with another Move 2 over Wi-Fi, and reviewers note it can rebroadcast Bluetooth or line-in sources to speakers such as the Sonos Arc, though it cannot act as a home-cinema rear, bond with a subwoofer or form a stereo pair with the original Move.

• Loudness / maximum volume ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 6 reviews 4.0
  Most reviews agree the Move 2 gets loud enough to fill small and medium rooms or patios and even stand up to outdoor breeze and ambient noise, approaching the output of larger boombox-style Bluetooth speakers while retaining useful headroom; it still sounds best kept a notch below maximum rather than as a full-on party rig.

• Included accessories ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 6 reviews 3.9
  Reviews say the included wireless charging cradle is convenient for keeping the Move 2 topped up on a shelf or counter, though it feels lighter and less substantial than the speaker itself and sometimes requires a little care to ensure it is seated correctly.
• Handle or strap quality ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 3.9
  A subtly integrated rear carry handle keeps the Move 2’s look clean and makes short moves between rooms or out to the deck easier, but its unbalanced feel, lack of a strap and absence of a protective case limit comfort for longer carries or for users with weaker grip.

• Treble clarity ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 3.7
  Reviews describe the Move 2's treble as generally crisp and controlled with small high-end details lifting cleanly from the mix, though some listeners still find upper-register textures a touch smoothed over compared with more hi-fi-focused speakers.

• Distortion at high volume ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 3.6
  Most of the volume range stays clean, but bass begins to compress and clip slightly at the very top end, so the Move 2 is happiest a notch below maximum loudness.
