Dimensions: 24.1 x 16 x 12.7cm

The Move 2 sounds better than the original model, the battery life is more than twice as long and there's a second tweeter for stereo sound. With the original Move starting to receive discounts in its final weeks of shelf life, you'll need to decide whether the sequel's extras are worth the slight premium.
For
- Sounds clearer than predecessor
- Big, bold sound
- Excellent streaming features
- Longer battery life
Against
- Very expensive
- Too big to be truly ‘portable’
- No hi-res support
- Rivals sound more nuanced and spacious
