2026 verdict
The Sonos Era 300 comes out ahead of the Sonos Move 2 in this smart speaker comparison, winning on price, a higher owner rating, connectivity, and integrations, including Google Home support that the Move 2 does not offer.
It is the brand's spatial-audio flagship, built around a Dolby Atmos driver array for immersive, room-filling sound and home-theater surround. The Move 2 keeps one clear advantage the Era 300 cannot claim: it is portable, with a built-in battery and a weather-tolerant build for patios and pools. Both share the Sonos ecosystem, Bluetooth and AirPlay 2, Alexa and Sonos Voice Control, Home Assistant, and a 1-year warranty. Buy the Sonos Era 300 if immersive spatial audio and a fixed home-theater or stereo setup are the priority; pick the Sonos Move 2 if you need one powerful speaker that travels indoors and outdoors.
