These are not really the same size class, and that is the honest framing here. The B&O Beosound 2 ranks #7 of 10 powered desktop speakers by sound quality at $4,000; the Sonos Move 2 ranks #28 of 117 large speakers by sound quality at $480.
The case for the B&O Beosound 2: A beautifully made luxury Wi-Fi speaker that fills a room in every direction, with Chromecast, AirPlay, optical input and multiroom. It supports aptX Bluetooth, which the Sonos Move 2 lacks. It links with other speakers (Beolink Multiroom), which the Sonos Move 2 cannot. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Sonos Move 2 lacks. The tradeoff: Its bass-forward balance can recess the mids, and its 94dB maximum level is modest for a speaker intended to fill larger spaces.
The Sonos Move 2 is the battery-powered pick. 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 B&O Beosound 2 needs an outlet. The catch: Not very loud.
Buy the B&O Beosound 2 ($4,000) for a powered desktop speaker; the Sonos Move 2 ($480) suits a large speaker instead.
