Scoring any type of Sonos hardware—speakers or soundbars—at a discount is extremely rare. Lucky for all of us, Sonos is offering a last-chance sale on the beloved first-generation Move. It was the brand's first foray into Bluetooth and a speaker for indoor and outdoor use.
Right now, while supplies last, you can get the Move first-generation at a massive $100 discount for just $299. You can even pick between black or white, but you’ll want to move quickly as there is no telling how much stock is left. And once this sells out, it’s gone.
Sonos Move 1st Gen, $299 (was $399) at Sonos
Considering the leading feature of the Sonos Move is indoor and outdoor, it’s backed by the necessary ratings and tests. It’s an entirely IP56 water-resistant speaker, which means it can survive being left out in the rain, blasting tunes during a quick show, and even a dip in the pool. It’s also drop-resistant to prevent scuffs or scratches, and both the Shadow Black and Shadow White have a special coating to ensure the sun doesn’t mess with the color over time.
Most importantly, though, Sonos ditched touch controls for physical buttons on the top to control playback, volume, and even turning the onboard microphone on or off. Our favorite part of the design is a handle built into the back, making for effortless touting of the Move in and out of the house or even for trips to the great outdoors. Battery life won’t be a concern, considering it can last up to 11 hours of playback from the 36Wh battery.

For producing robust, smooth-sounding audio that can get seriously loud, the first-generation Move is powered by two digital amplifiers, a tweeter and a mid-woofer. This ensures any genre of music, be it rock or pop, comes through clearly, and thanks to “Automatic Trueplay,” it’s mixed and adjusted in real-time for proper playback in any space.
You’ll control the whole experience when home and connected to Wi-Fi via the Sonos app for Android or iOS. Here, you can even group it with other Sonos speakers, soundbars, or subwoofers for multi-room audio, and when you’re outside, you can long press the button on the back to use it as a Bluetooth speaker. You get the best of both worlds when it comes to connectivity.
While $300 is still more costly than other Bluetooth speakers, the Move provides an exceptional, intuitive listening experience that brings robust sound to any environment. At $100 off, it’s down to an all-time price for the Move first-generation, and it’s a limited deal, as once stock is gone, it will be sold out.
Head over to Sonos directly to score the Move first-generation for just $299, while it’s in stock.
