Sonos Move - Battery-powered smart speaker (Open Box)

I purchased one these for convenience during power outages. It is one of Sonos better stand alone or paired speakers. The selling features for me were: 1) portable, 2) rechargeable battery, 3) acceptable sound quality, 4) both 802.11 and Bluetooth. This works well as a stand alone speaker. I may pick up a couple more for kitchen, office or bedrooms. The major caveat is that Move cannot be used as surrounds. Not a big deal for me as I have a couple of Play 1 surrounds anyway. As I said, the purchase for me was flexible trade off for use during extended power outages. If Move could be paired as surrounds I would do it for my existing Sonos setup in a media den (14 x 18 ft). Move can also fill a larger room with sound on its own, e.g., an 18 x 40 ft room with vaulted ceiling. Given the choice between a Play 5 and Move, I would choose the Move for the added flexibility, rechargeable battery, and weather and drop resistance. While this speaker cannot be used as surrounds it can be grouped. I placed it in center rear, on a table against a window and grouped with a Playbase + two Play 1 surrounds. I had to lower the Move volume a bit since it's a powerful speaker with some push and punch on its own that was almost overwhelming for the rest of the group with all speakers at the same volume level. It's a nice add on in the group and I may keep it there in center rear, or group one more along the sides or up front on far left and right. Granted, Sonos will never approach audiophile high end high definition quality, but their speakers do offer a nice compromise for a lifestyle product niche. I nearly gave up on Sonos a couple years ago due to the numerous problems they experienced in 2017 and 2018. I've had their products for many years, almost since inception, along with a few other audio solutions of either less or far better and much more expensive quality. Some additional caveats for Sonos systems in general: 1) A Sonos account and internet connection are required for speaker setup, configuration and updates 2) Personal media library locally hosted requires SMB v1 (a deprecated protocol rife with security concerns) 3) No casting, at least not easily 4) App controllers need to be on the same network as speakers; unless one has advanced networking skills 5) Controllers for Windows and MacOS have limited functionality, no officially supported 'Nix' controller 6) not DLNA friendly, more like Sonos is DLNA unfriendly
