SONOS, A brand synonymous with wireless multi-room audio audio, unveils its latest: the Sonos Move 2. This speaker is not just a sequel but a significant upgrade from its predecessor.
FEATURES
The original Sonos Move was already a formidable entry in the portable audio space. Now, meet its evolved successor-the Sonos Move 2. At first glance, the Move 2 retains the familiar aesthetics of its predecessor, retaining its dimensions and portable form. However, Sonos introduces an olive shade, adding to the original Move's black and white options.
The Move 2 has capacitive touch controls; you can play, pause, skip, replay, adjust the volume, mute your voice assistant, and group or ungroup Sonos products using these controls.
Like the Move, the Move 2 works with voice assistants. It supports Sonos Voice Control and also Amazon Alexa. The privacy control is a switch that disengages the built-in microphone at the hardware level.
The setup process is very easy, especially if you already have a Sonos account. This is definitely a strong suit, Sonos is known for user friendly products. And if you get into any trouble, it also has excellent customer support.
A new battery promises up to 24 hours of playback, doubling the stamina of the original. Charging is streamlined with an upgraded Wireless Charging Base, and its IP56 rating assures resilience against dust and water, making it a great choice to take outdoors and on the road.
Wi-Fi 6 support, Bluetooth 5.0, and a new line-in capability via USB C adapter offer versatile connectivity. You can also charge the Move 2 via USB C. The Sonos app remains intuitive, and the speaker seamlessly fits into the Sonos ecosystem. However, its inability to pair with a Sonos subwoofer might be a letdown for some. Another no-can-do is using Move 2s for surround-sound in a home theater system.

The Big Clean
Chances are you probably do not think about the state of your electronic devices too often. Oh, you might think about all the upgrades you would like to make; where you would put those new tower speakers, or how a second or third subwoofer would really tame those bass modes in your room, or how much more cinematic a larger screen would be. Sure, you think about that part of your system. But how often do you think about the well-being of your system?

Bridging the Analog-Digital Gap on a Recliner
When I shopped for a motorized recliner, I rejected models with their own Internet Protocol address and built-in speakers. No need. I had already placed a smart speaker on an étagère beside the space where I had planned to put the chair. I'd have a smartphone in my hand and the room would be bathed in Wi-Fi.
