Sonos Rolls Out Outdoor, Battery Powered Speaker

Santa Barbara-based Sonos, the developer of user-friendly, whole home speakers, has rolled out its first outdoor speaker, a battery powered speaker called the Sonos Move. Sonos said the new portable speaker, which costs $399, will be available globally starting September 24th. According to Sonos, the new speaker is rated for falls, bumps, rain and moisture, dust and dirt, UV and extreme temperatures and features a rating of IP56. The batteries in the move will last for up to ten hours, and the speaker--like all of other Sonos devices--works with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, along with over 100 different streaming music services.
