When thinking of the best portable Bluetooth speakers the wireless audio industry has to offer, most people probably expect to pay no more than $100 for one of those super-compact models you can easily take with you wherever you go to keep you entertained with minimal fuss, minimal effort, and let’s face it, mediocre sound quality (at best).
Of course, it doesn’t have to be like that, and if you’re willing to spend over $400, you can always get something like the Sonos Move 2 and absolutely blow the roof off your apartment building without wires and wall-hugging. Even better, the ultra-high-end speaker is currently discounted by a very cool $113 (or 25 percent) from its $449 list price at both Amazon and Best Buy, which makes this 2023-released bad boy cheaper than ever before.
While the portable speaker is available in both black and white colorways at Best Buy, Amazon weirdly only has the former flavor in stock right now, which suggests you may not have a lot of time to take advantage of this totally unprecedented deal before it inevitably goes away.
At more than six and a half pounds, the Move 2 is not actually… very easy to move from place to place, at least compared to some of the most affordable speakers out there from brands like JBL, Anker, or Bose, which is obviously where the built-in carrying handle comes in.
The reason why this thing is so heavy is not exactly hard to guess, with its massive 24-hour battery, precision-tuned woofer, and two high-quality tweeters adding a lot of heft to a package that’s clearly designed to withstand the pressures and challenges of the great outdoors with shock absorbent materials and IP56 water and dust resistance.
The Sonos Move 2 promises to deliver “heart-pumping stereo sound” both inside and outside the comfort of your home, and although we haven’t had the chance to properly review the speaker for ourselves, its Amazon and Best Buy customer ratings and reviews speak volumes about the level of audio quality you can expect to receive… at an actually fairly reasonable price.
