A Sonos Move or a pair of Sonos 1's


I am looking to replace the JBL Charge 3 I am using in my small home office with Sonos.  I am considering a pair of Sonos 1's or a Sonos Move (same cost).   Has anybody been able to compare these two setups?  What the strengths and weaknesses of each?

I would go with the Play:1s to get a true stereo pair. The extra cost of the Move goes towards features that are only helpful if you plan to use it as a portable speaker, with the exception being Bluetooth support. I haven’t heard the Move, but I have heard a pair of the Play:1s; they sound amazing for their size!


When deciding between a Sonos or a non-Sonos system, I would mainly consider what sources you will be playing from.

Since then, Sonos has also ended “recycle mode”. 
My understanding is that the refurbished Play:1s are the most recent model and will be compatible with the new S2 system. If you want better sound than that in a stationary setup, I would get two Play:5s.
