Sonos Move 2 vs Move 1 - BIG Upgrades!

[@zambuzan]

Love your videos, my guy. Production quality is always top tier. Excited to see your channel blow up one day.

[@beardfm]

Thank you so much 🙏🏻 appreciate it

[@ILLESTTRUTH]

The battery life and the usb-c device charging are major reasons I’ll be getting the Move 2 over the Move 1. I’m not an audiophile so I doubt I’ll hear the difference especially if I only have one to listen to and no comparison. Great video!

[@beardfm]

Thanks! And those are great feature upgrades too 👍🏻

[@cynicalcitizen]

Can you pair as a rear channel speakers in a home theater setup?

[@beardfm]

Unfortunately not. That has to be done with Sonos One SL's, Era 100 or Era 300s

[@soolee6352]

Great review! Short and detailed. I’m thinking about getting into Sonos. You mentioned Apple TV to airplay movies to the speakers. How’s the quality? And would it work to set the move 2 up with my TV via Apple TV? Much obliged!

[@beardfm]

Thanks! And it sounds great, but won't offer official surround like Dolby Atmos when just AirPlaying. That scenario would work!

[@subman656]

Stephen, thanks for the review. I have the original move and enjoy it. On a related subject have you ever had any success in getting the volume control to display on the iPhone Lock Screen? This is a clear miss, I have no idea why this can't be done. Other things, like Overcast do it with no problem. Thanks for all of your work.

[@beardfm]

Thanks for watching! And do you mean the Sonos app volume, specifically? I think it's using its own "player," not the built-in iOS player, which means no Lock Screen or Control Center function. If you choose to AirPlay through the Music app instead, then you can get all the normal controls.

[@subman656]

Hi, thanks. Yes, using the Sonos app. Just a shame, they used to have it available. Not all of my Sonos speakers support Airplay, but it is a work around. You are probably right, Sonos is using its own player. Thanks again, enjoy the holiday. @@beardfm

Great content, thank you for that, but why would you use HDR in the video? It's an eye killer :(.

[@beardfm]

Yeah, not using it again. Was an experiment!

[@kevindewilde7970]

Can i use the Google Assistant from the arc to control the move 2?

[@beardfm]

Unfortunately Sonos removed Google assistant from its speakers.

[@rizalarifin2742]

Compared to Homepod 2 how?😊

[@beardfm]

Oh man so different! I prefer HomePods for several reasons, but if you want a portable speaker, there’s only one choice 😉 I share my thoughts on HomePod here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4CycpmIq8yppbssi=lQ92jQ-cilfz7s8Z

@@beardfm thx u 😊

[@richardglazer7813]

I like the google assistance

[@beardfm]

Yeah Sonos and Google have been in a bit of a battle with their assistants, hopefully resolved soon!

[@richardglazer7813]

@@beardfm that's why I'll keep my Sonos Move 1...

[@speedRacer05]

I wish they would bring back Google voice so I can more easily pay KZbin music. Until then, I Guess I'm keep my Move 1.

[@beardfm]

That was an unfortunate Move for sure 😏

[@ThomasHoffDE]

ok - the iphone video recording has to to. can barely see the white speaker. great review otherwise

[@beardfm]

The HDR was a little weird to work with. Thanks for watching though 🙏🏻
