These sit in different size classes, so this is not a straight ranking comparison. The Amazon Echo Pop ranks #14 of 14 powered desktop speakers by sound quality at $45.98; the Sonos Move ranks #30 of 105 large speakers by sound quality at $399.99.
What the Amazon Echo Pop does well: A compact 0.4 lbs (195 g) half-sphere Alexa smart speaker with strong voice pickup, a mic mute button and Matter and Sidewalk smart home support. It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the Sonos Move lacks. It links with other speakers (Wi-Fi multi-room, Alexa), which the Sonos Move cannot. Watch for: PCWorld’s earlier review was blunt: despite a larger 1.95-inch driver on paper, it sounded flat and tinny with only a hint of bass next to the smaller-driver Echo Dot, and called the value proposition a hard no; RTINGS’ more recent test agrees on the underlying tradeoff, noting it can’t reproduce as much low bass as the Amazon Echo Dot Max and doesn’t get very loud.
The Sonos Move is the battery-powered, tougher choice. A well-integrated Sonos portable that combines Wi-Fi multiroom playback, Bluetooth, automatic Trueplay room tuning and a charging base in a sturdy carryable enclosure. Its battery is rated for 11 hours, while the Amazon Echo Pop needs an outlet. It is rated IP56, while the Amazon Echo Pop has no water resistance. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Amazon Echo Pop lacks. Watch for: It is mono, heavy and less portable than a conventional Bluetooth speaker, while bass pumping and compression become audible at high volume.
Worth knowing: the Sonos Move is discontinued, though it still ranks #30 of 105 large speakers by sound quality, so a used unit beats most of what is still sold new. The Sonos Move’s replacement, the Sonos Move 2, is still sold new.
Buy the Amazon Echo Pop at $45.98 for a powered desktop speaker, or the Sonos Move at $399.99 for a large speaker instead.
