A second edition of the ultra-high-end Sonos Move smart speaker is reportedly coming in late September at a recommended price of $450 with stereo sound and absolutely incredible battery life among others.
There’s a pretty good reason why Sonos isn’t exactly breathing down Amazon or Google’s neck in the global smart speaker vendor hierarchy, and that’s because the Move, One, Roam, and Era devices are all significantly costlier than the cheapest Echoes and Nests around.If you were hoping the US-based audio industry veteran would somehow « fix » that problem in the near future, we’re sad to inform you that the Sonos Move 2 is actually expected to be priced higher than its $399 forerunner rather than lower.According to the folks over at The Verge, who have somehow been able to find out everything there is to know about the upcoming premium speaker, this bad boy will make its commercial debut sometime in « late September » at a recommended price point of $449. That’s way more expensive than Amazon’s high-end $200 Echo Studio, for instance, although the two products are not technically comparable in at least one key area. Just like the first-gen Move, the Sonos Move 2 will allow you to, well, move around and take your favorite tunes with you wherever you go, which is something no current member of either the Amazon Echo or Google Nest families can do.
