These sit in different size classes, so this is not a straight ranking comparison. The Sonos Era 300 ranks #6 of 10 powered desktop speakers by sound quality at $499; the Sonos Move 2 ranks #28 of 117 large speakers by sound quality at $480.
What the Sonos Era 300 does well: A Wi-Fi smart speaker with real stereo and Dolby Atmos spatial audio, excellent Alexa voice pickup and Trueplay room tuning. It links with other speakers (Sonos multi-room, AirPlay 2), which the Sonos Move 2 cannot. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Sonos Move 2 lacks. The catch: RTINGS’ one listed con is some compression at max volume.
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 Sonos Era 300 needs an outlet. It is rated IP56, while the Sonos Era 300 has no water resistance. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Sonos Era 300 lacks. The catch: Not very loud.
Buy the Sonos Era 300 at $499 if you want a powered desktop speaker. Buy the Sonos Move 2 at $480 if you want a large speaker instead.
