These are not really the same size class, and that is the honest framing here. The Denon Home 150 ranks #6 of 15 powered desktop speakers by sound quality at $249; the Sonos Move ranks #30 of 117 large speakers by sound quality at $299.95.
Why pick the Denon Home 150: A compact smart speaker with built in Alexa, easy HEOS setup and stereo pairing with a second unit. It links with other speakers (HEOS multi-room, stereo pair with a second Home 150), which the Sonos Move cannot. Watch for: Tom’s Guide’s own complaints are that it costs more than the Sonos One and has no automatic room tuning to correct for placement.
The Sonos Move is the battery-powered, tougher pick. A Wi-Fi and Bluetooth portable with warm, full bodied sound, automatic room tuning and a charging base. Its battery is rated for 11 hours, while the Denon Home 150 needs an outlet. It is rated IP56, while the Denon Home 150 has no water resistance. It plays in stereo from a single unit, unlike the Denon Home 150. The tradeoff: It is mono, heavy and less portable than a conventional Bluetooth speaker, while bass pumping and compression become audible at high volume.
One note: the Denon Home 150 is discontinued, but it still ranks #6 of 15 powered desktop speakers by sound quality, ahead of most of what is still sold new, so it is worth considering used. The Denon Home 150’s replacement, the Denon Home 200, is rated 3.6/5 at $399.
Buy the Denon Home 150 at $249 for a powered desktop speaker, or the Sonos Move at $299.95 for a large speaker instead.
