Short answer: the Brane X is for buyers chasing the deepest bass in this category, while Sonos Move 2 is the more conventional portable speaker. Brane X reaches lower than its peers, an uncommon achievement for a self-contained speaker.
That low-end ability is accompanied by boosted upper bass around 120Hz and rolled-off treble, which can make the sound warm and less detailed than its bass depth suggests.
Move 2 is also warm and somewhat treble-soft, but its bigger limitation is output. It is not a speaker for playing loudly across a large outdoor space.
Buy the Brane X if unprecedented deep bass from a portable-category speaker is your priority and you accept softer treble detail.
Buy the Sonos Move 2 if you prefer Sonos portability and do not need high maximum volume.
If battery life is a priority, the Sonos Move 2 is rated for 24 hours versus 12 hours for the Brane X.
