The Sonos Move is a portable speaker which still uses the WiFi network or your Sonos network if you have one of your players hardwired, it only switches to Bluetooth when you are away from your home or outside where you are not connected to your WiFi. As I said, it's all a matter of how discerning of an audio file you are, for most a good Bluetooth speaker or headset sounds quite good, but Bluetooth just can't compete with Airplay or WiFi or, of course, a wired connection. I had somebody once ask me which of two receivers I thought was the better, both were around $500, so I told him he would have to decide for himself because on my 20-year old high-end stereo system which has a Sonic Frontiers tube amp connected to a custom-built electronic crossover and which drives custom-built speakers and where a 250 Watt Bryston amp also connected to the crossover drives a pair of 4-foot tall custom-built 12 inch subwoofers the cables which connect the components cost more than $500.

I do however have a few sonos play 1 devices although they aren't Bluetooth. But what I have heard playing audio is the sonos move and it sounded pretty bloody good to me. And they are similar in how they work to the home pod I believe. The other speakers I personally like are the UE boom for which they have just added a new device called the hyper boom, Might be worth a look -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Joshua Hendrickson Sent: Monday, 2 March 2020 9:01 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: HomePod Question Hi Arnold. What I'd do, is invest in a good bluetooth speaker. I've got some very nice bluetooth speakers, and I can listen to bookshare books by using voice dream reader and the ebooks sound just fine. I'd never purchase a home pod, they sound kind of junky to me. I like my bose revolve plus speaker.
