Different classes, so treat this as a step-up-or-not question rather than a head-to-head. The Amazon Echo Studio 2nd Gen ranks #2 of 15 powered desktop speakers by sound quality at $219.99; the Sonos Move 2 ranks #28 of 117 large speakers by sound quality at $480.
The case for the Amazon Echo Studio 2nd Gen: A great sounding Amazon smart speaker, with wide sound from one box, Dolby Atmos and a built in smart home hub. It links with other speakers (Wi-Fi multi-room, Alexa Home Theater), which the Sonos Move 2 cannot. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Sonos Move 2 lacks. Watch for: SoundGuys still marked it down on Value (4.0 of 10) given the $219.99 list price, and it is explicitly not true left-right stereo from one cabinet, so a stereo pair is needed for real width in a larger room.
The Sonos Move 2 is the battery-powered, tougher choice. A Wi-Fi and Bluetooth portable with warm, full sound, clear mids and a long battery for moving around the home. Its battery is rated for 24 hours, while the Amazon Echo Studio 2nd Gen needs an outlet. It is rated IP56, while the Amazon Echo Studio 2nd Gen has no water resistance. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Amazon Echo Studio 2nd Gen lacks. Watch for: Not very loud.
Buy the Amazon Echo Studio 2nd Gen at $219.99 if you want a powered desktop speaker. Buy the Sonos Move 2 at $480 if you want a large speaker instead.
