MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE SONOS APP! For the Sonos system to be so technologically advanced, the Sonos App is not great at all! It constantly crashes, its confused easily and force closes and is not user friendly. I would also like to see some type of update that I don't have to use it ONLY on wifi. I can control everything else in my house remotely except Sonos. Thats pretty primitive.

love the sound that it produces but the elegant wallmount is a terrible combination with the Move.
Almost EVERY time i put it on the mount it presses the bluetooth-wifi button and the show stops.
terrible idea to design this thing without thinking about the button placement.

Until recently when our wifi router went, so I changed over to the "house model" from Spectrum and the signals kept dropping - so I got myself a Boost, which helped a bit with the interference issues from Spectrum - but then I went to Eero mesh - I have not had an issue since!! Glad it was a Spectrum hardware issue, not a Sonos issue! So in celebration of success and Spring - I added the Move to my system and absolutely love bringing my music with me everywhere - in the basement, kitchen, garage and out in the yard! I couldn't be happier!

I love the moves versatility. I can move surround sound all through out the house and the back yard at the same time.
Sonos superior sound and use ability are incredible.
I will only be buying Sonos from here on out. I look forward to adding.

My main reason for buying is casual listening using Alexa, Google voice control.- Unfortunately it is not natively supported in Czech Republic, therefore it is a struggle to set it up. / I spent 2days trying to put Alexa in it.

1) I wanted to pull music into the kitchen area of my open-concept, Den to kitchen room. Playing audio on my Arc, (sub and s1's) is awesome but I needed 'fill'. with independent and conjoined volumes, it sounds fantastic!
2) Using the Move to carry my music outside (grilling, friends, etc) satiates that desire for a consistent atmosphere.
I often take my Move upstairs to 'get ready' etc.

It got to a point where I began researching new options, realizing we needed something new, and definitely something portable.
It really came down to a BOSE unit and the SONOS Move. When I saw them both side by side, I was a little surprised how small the BOSE speaker was. When I compared the sound, the choice was pretty clear for me - SONOS Move was going to be my new baby, and purchased it, wrapped it up, put it under the tree, and addressed it to "the house", from Santa.
My wife was not initially very happy, even though she was the one who continuously said we needed something new for music. Even when I unboxed it, she was mostly concerned with how much "Santa" spent on it.
Well, let's just say that once I played some tunes, her thoughts changed, and the more we play it, the more she's impressed.
For me, it's nothing short of awesome. I haven't had a sound system in the last 15 years (other than sound bars for the TV's) and I must have forgotten how good music can sound. The deep, rich bass, the solid mid range, and of course, the high end treble.
But it's much more, really, as I now pick up things I haven't heard in so many years. Different instruments, sounds, clarity. Overall richness. It's just great.
I love the simple yet oh so effective charging system. So easy to pick it up and bring it outside, then drop it back down on the charging ring. Absolutely love it.
The Move is obviously a little big and heavy to bring on trips that require a flight, but when we drive somewhere, it's coming along for the ride. Love the fact that I have both wifi and Bluetooth.
Very impressed.
