At this scale we suspect it'll be nearer to the home, for a garden party, while the smaller Sonos Roam is more suited to the park or beach.
The point is that you can bring it wherever you want, whether that's your garden, the beach or a camping trip. It's wider and taller than the Sonos One and it weighs a hefty 3kg - so you'll need a pretty decent-sized backpack to lug it around.

There's a Lunar White model too, which are the same colour offerings as the Sonos Roam.Īs we say, though, this portable speaker is not small. We had it outside in 25C with the sun shining directly on it for several hours but it didn't feel too hot as a result. Everything inside has been considered, too, from a custom-made polycarbonate basket case reinforced with glass for the mid-woofer, to the colour of the Move itself - it is Shadow Black and not just plain, absorbant black to take UV exposure into account. To achieve this, the bottom of the device is silicone with a clear coat of paint over the top to deter dust. Sonos says the Move can withstand pretty much every obstacle life might throw at it, whether that be sand, water or a drop on concrete, and while we didn't fancy testing the last of those, it's clear this speaker is able to hold its own.
While the design of the Sonos Move clearly resembles the Sonos portfolio, it offers an IP56 water and dust resistance and it is one tough little cookie - although it's not actually that little. The Sonos Move has the same design ethos as these newer Sonos speakers, with rounded edges, capacitive controls and an almost identical top to the Sonos One - albeit oval shaped and with repositioned controls - but it raises the stakes when it comes to durability.
