Short answer: the Sonos Move 2. It ranks #28 of 115 large speakers by sound quality, rated 4.1/5, at $480. The Klipsch Detroit ranks #76, rated 3.1/5, at $235.11, $244.89 cheaper, not enough of a saving to outweigh the sound-quality gap.
The Sonos Move 2 is the better-sounding option. A Wi-Fi and Bluetooth portable with warm, full sound, clear mids and a long battery for moving around the home. The catch: Not very loud.
The case for the Klipsch Detroit: A rugged, fully waterproof stereo boombox with a long battery, fast USB-C charging, and power bank output. It links with other speakers (Broadcast Mode), which the Sonos Move 2 cannot. The catch: Weird boosted upper bass, bass not very deep.
Buy the Sonos Move 2. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $244.89 saving on the Klipsch Detroit is not enough to make up the difference.
