These sit in different size classes, so this is not a straight ranking comparison. The Apple HomePod Mini ranks #10 of 15 powered desktop speakers by sound quality at $149.36; the Sonos Move 2 ranks #28 of 117 large speakers by sound quality at $480.
The case for the Apple HomePod Mini: A tiny Siri smart speaker that hears you even at full volume and gives decent bass for its size. It links with other speakers (AirPlay 2 multi-room), which the Sonos Move 2 cannot. The tradeoff: SoundGuys’ listed cons include no mute button at all, an occasionally annoying Handoff prompt, and no direct Spotify integration since Siri only launches Apple Music by voice.
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 Apple HomePod Mini needs an outlet. It is rated IP56, while the Apple HomePod Mini has no water resistance. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Apple HomePod Mini lacks. The catch: Not very loud.
Buy the Apple HomePod Mini ($149.36) for a powered desktop speaker; the Sonos Move 2 ($480) suits a large speaker instead.
