2026 verdict
The Sonos Era 100 takes this smart speaker comparison on price, connectivity, and integrations, coming in as the more affordable option and adding Google Home support that the Sonos Move 2 does not have, alongside its Bluetooth and AirPlay 2. Both live in the Sonos ecosystem with Alexa and Sonos Voice Control, Apple Home over AirPlay 2, Home Assistant, and a 1-year warranty, so much of the experience is shared. The Move 2's trump card is mobility: it is a battery-powered speaker built to travel between the living room and the patio, with bigger, room-filling sound, which the mains-only Era 100 cannot offer. Pick the Sonos Era 100 if you want a compact, well-connected Sonos speaker for a fixed room at a lower price; choose the Sonos Move 2 if portability and outdoor listening are what you need.
