Sonos has launched a follow up to its portable speaker,My Dad's Hot Girlfriend 30 Film and this time, it delivers music in stereo.
The Sonos Move 2, announced on Wednesday, looks similar like its predecessor: a fairly large, oval, vertically-oriented speaker wrapped in plastic. Most people will be able to tell the difference due to the new choice of colors — Black, White, and Olive — compared to the original Move's Shadow Black and Lunar White (in reality, that's dark and light grey).
The price has also gone up a little, from $400 to $449 (or €499 if you're in Europe).

But there are two major changes inside. Unlike its predecessor, the Sonos Move 2 is a stereo speaker. And secondly, Sonos says the Move 2 has 24-hour battery life, up from 11 hours on the original Sonos Move.
Sonos Move 2 also supports line-in audio connection (you'll need Sonos' USB-C dongle), and you can even use the USB-C port to charge other devices (the Sonos Move 2 has a 44Wh battery). It also has new touch controls, similar to the ones on the recently launched Era 300 speaker.

The audio itself has been improved, with three Class-D digital amps powering the two tweeters and one woofer (the original Move had two amps and one tweeter less).
