Power, WiFi\/Bluetooth and connection buttons on the rear<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nTo use Bluetooth you’ll need to manually change the speaker’s connection method by tapping a button on the speaker’s rear. It’s hardly the end of the world but it’s going to get annoying if you’re using it with WiFi at home and taking it out a lot. I’d imagine most people will likely settle on one mode over the other for 99% of the time.<\/p>\n
Whilst Bluetooth’s limited bandwidth means the sound quality takes a hit, most are likely to not notice and the new world of connectivity options it allows is significant enough to warrant its inclusion.<\/p>\n
Portability for the win!<\/h2>\n
There’s something distinctly missing from the Sonos Move’s box. A signature of the Sonos speaker lineup has always been the inclusion of an ethernet cable, which one of the speakers in your home Sonos setup has traditionally needed to proliferate its magic music network. This is of course is absent given the Move’s portability with the ethernet port completely removed from the speaker.<\/p>\n
Instead of a standard power cable the speaker comes with a halo like base that plugs in to serve as a both a charger and stand. Placing the speaker onto the halo immediately begins charging the unit with three small LEDs behind the speaker’s front grill illuminating to indicate charge.<\/p>\n
