STUFF AWARDS 2019
HI-FI GADGET OF THE YEAR
SONOS MOVE
£399 / sonos.com
Paint the top half-inch of a Sonos Move white
and it’d bear a startling resemblance to a pint
of Guinness – which is appropriate considering
how long we’ve had to wait for them to make
the thing. But as the famous ad told us, that’s
how you get good things... and the first portable
Sonos has certainly been worth the wait.
At home on your Wi-Fi network it delivers
the same seamless performance and superb

speaker, but take the Move outside and
its built-in battery, hefty construction
and specially tuned outdoor mode make
it a punchy performer that’s more than
capable of getting your garden party
started. Well, maybe not in December...NOMINEES
