These sit in different size classes, so this is not a straight ranking comparison. The JBL Charge 6 ranks #12 of 179 medium speakers by sound quality at $149.95; the Sonos Move 2 ranks #28 of 120 large speakers by sound quality at $480.
The JBL Charge 6 is the lighter, tougher pick. A waterproof medium speaker with a long battery and a power bank output, with more balanced sound than older Charge models. At 2.2 lbs (990 g) it weighs much less than the Sonos Move 2 at 6.6 lbs (3 kg). It is rated IP68 against IP56 for the Sonos Move 2. It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the Sonos Move 2 lacks. The catch: Still some boosted bass by default.
Why pick the Sonos Move 2: A Wi-Fi and Bluetooth portable with warm, full sound, clear mids and a long battery for moving around the home. It keeps a wired aux input, which the JBL Charge 6 lacks. It plays in stereo from a single unit, unlike the JBL Charge 6. The catch: Not very loud.
Buy the JBL Charge 6 at $149.95 for a medium speaker, or the Sonos Move 2 at $480 for a large speaker instead.
