Short answer: the Soundcore Motion X600. It ranks #19 of 126 large speakers by sound quality (rated 4.3/5) at $159.99 and is still sold new; the Sonos Move ranks #30 (rated 4.1/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used. The Sonos Move’s replacement, the Sonos Move 2, is rated 4.1/5 at $480.
The Soundcore Motion X600 is the lighter option. A stereo speaker with impressive sound after its latest firmware update, especially with a well tuned EQ. At 5.2 lbs (2.35 kg) it weighs noticeably less than the Sonos Move at 6.6 lbs (3 kg). It supports LDAC Bluetooth, which the Sonos Move lacks. It links with other speakers (PartyCast up to 100 speakers), which the Sonos Move cannot. The catch: Stock frequency response is wavy.
Why pick the Sonos Move: A Wi-Fi and Bluetooth portable with warm, full bodied sound, automatic room tuning and a charging base. The catch: It is mono, heavy and less portable than a conventional Bluetooth speaker, while bass pumping and compression become audible at high volume.
Buy the Soundcore Motion X600. It is rated higher for sound quality and still sold new, while the Sonos Move is discontinued.
