Our Verdict

Sonos Era 100

Sonos Move 2

The Sonos Era 100 and the Sonos Move 2 are very comparable speakers in terms of performance and sound reproduction. The main difference is that the Era 100 is cheaper but doesn't have a built-in battery, so you can't easily take it on the move. It's also not rated for dust or water resistance like the Move 2. So if you want to bring your speaker on the go, the Move 2 is the better choice.
