A timeless two-way bookshelf speaker with a 5. 25 woofer the P5 in the new Alpha Series allows you to transform your system with pristine sound. Featuring a refined bass reflex cabinet and port tube first developed for the original Alpha speaker the Alpha P5 creates a pure and natural soundstage by utilizing the latest and most advanced driver technologies and magnet structures. The P5 was perfectly tuned inside the anechoic chamber of Canadas acoustic research facilities to produce a perfectly flat frequency response that lets you enjoy the subtleties of your music and movies with lifelike detail. Anodized aluminium tweeter with waveguide The P5 uses a 0. 75 black anodized aluminium dome tweeter to extend the high-frequency response further than any Alpha ever before while lowering distortion to deliver layered sound with detail and clarity. Unlike lesser designs at this price all the new Alpha Series tweeters employ ferrofluid cooling to prevent dynamic compression and a neodymium magnet for high sensitivity. The tweeters front waveguide and its unique placement below the woofer work together to smooth the response at the crossover and perfect on and off-axis performance. Perfectly matched bass When paired with the Alpha Series newly designed tweeter the P5s custom 5. 25 woofer provides remarkable low-frequency response and the highest speaker efficiency in its class. The woofer is constructed from a special textured polypropylene compound that minimizes cone breakup and lowers distortion at full excursion. Its also supported with dual layer voice coils and a bass reflex design that uses the rear-firing port tube to control the bass response down to room-shaking levels. Smooth sound reproduction The Alpha Series new crossover exceeds speaker standards with a special custom design that does more than direct low and high frequencies to the individual drivers it delivers the tightest control and the flattest frequency response.

These are serious speakers - nice quality construction. They are presentable for being in open view in a classy room, and totally do the job for sound. More than you'll need for indoors, for sure. They're pretty big - about a foot tall by maybe 9" deep and 6" across the front, and weigh at least 10lbs each

Very nice quality!

 The cabinets themselves feel extremely sturdy for their size and definitely don't give the impression of a cheap enclosure, they feel like they'll last forever. My one major complaint about the enclosure is that there is only one set of binding posts leaving no option for bi-amping if you wanted to (and this is something I have done with the RTi6 in the past). It would have, I figured, been a minor extra cost for a second set of binding posts and some jumpers between them to at least give the option even if bi-amping speakers like this would be overkill to be sure.  Sound wise, I find the P5s to have a big punch in the low end for their small size

 They still can't match my much larger speakers with bigger woofers but they left me impressed with how they sound on the low end given what they have to work with. I listen to a lot of electronic music and where I keep my bookshelf setup I don't want a subwoofer so this is always an important consideration for me, and I found I've been satisfied with them in this regard. Bizarrely the tweeter is placed underneath the woofer here where usually you'd find them above. According to PSB this is done on purpose to compliment a fancy new crossover inside, whatever the reason it certainly doesn't hurt how it sounds

 My other pair of speakers that are of similar stature are KEFs with 5 1/4" Uni-Q drivers, they are self amplified and such can't really be used as an apples to apples comparison.  I'll start with my feelings about the frivolous looks stuff. Honestly, I don't find the P5s to be very attractive speakers but this is extremely subjective and I can see how someone else might disagree with me strongly. They are very minimal, which I normally like, but there are practically zero frills in the design department to set them apart

 The mids and highs remain clear with good definition all the way through from low to high volume without any kind of perceptible distortion I can hear, at least using my stereo receiver (~90W/Channel at 8 Ohm) I could crank the volume all the way up without the P5s falling apart. For their size, I don't think I've heard better speakers unaccompanied by a subwoofer for the price.  I have to admit, I wish the speakers looked more "special" as they just don't look as good as they sound to me. That being said, I'd rather have plain speakers that sound great than flashy speakers that sound bad so PSB has got their priorities right here

Larger than expected sound from these small cabinets.

 The acoustics of the cabinet provide a richer sound. What you are left with is crystal clear tones that fill the room.  They are standard squarish speaker cabinets giving it a design aspect that will fit in with just about any decor. The front grill is removable for washing or so you can display the speakers

 The P5's thunder out the bass. Blast out the highs and really kick butt with the mid range.  The look is very deceptive. With the right pre amp you have classy looks with power that is rich with sound

  They are standard squarish speaker cabinets giving it a design aspect that will fit in with just about any decor. The front grill is removable for washing or so you can display the speakers. The choice is yours. Personally I like the grill off because the speakers look good

 Obviously these are better performance than the P3's, but not in richness of sound. It’s in the punch. You know what I mean. Some speakers the sound is there but it’s kind of hollow

Love em

 I like the very strong magnets that hold the grill in front, making them good looking with or without the grill.  Also, the tweaters are protected, so nobody can push them in with their fingers.  I personally didn't like the logo on the speaker grills, but it was easy to remove. The remaining adhesive came right off with a bit of cleaning alcohol

In short, I'd buy them again right away!  Very well built, and very strong and clear sound. It's very hard to found a fault to those speakers, really. I like the very strong magnets that hold the grill in front, making them good looking with or without the grill.  Also, the tweaters are protected, so nobody can push them in with their fingers

Punch above their grade!

 I hate the twist type connectors. It's harder to get your fingers in there and it's harder to connect the wires. I actually had one wire pull out twice when trying to hook them up. At this price point I wish they had the easy spring loaded clamp connectors

 The sound was great, but not as good as it could have been. Understandably so given their lower price point. Immediately after hooking these PSB's up I noticed a difference in clarity, volume, and sound depth. When watching movies I found that I didn't have as much of a hard time hearing the voices which was nice! The gun shots and explosions in action movies were deeper which really enhanced the experience!  The only downside that I could find are the speaker wire connectors

The best Bluetooth speaker that we've tested is the Sonos Move. This well-built model has built-in Alexa and Google Assistant capabilities, and it does an incredible job responding to your voice even if you aren't very close to it. While it isn't as small and portable as the Sonos Roam, the Move has a built-in carrying handle, so you can easily move it from room to room or take it outdoors.

Overall, it has a balanced, neutral sound profile suitable for listening to many different types of audio content. There are bass and treble adjustments available in the Sonos S2 app to help you customize its sound. You can also use it to pair two Sonos speakers together to create a stereo pair or amplify your music across a large, crowded party. It lasts over 10 hours off a single charge, which is suitable for long listening sessions, and it has an IP56 rating for dust and water resistance, so it's certified for protection against direct contact with water for up to three minutes and dust for around two to eight hours.

Unfortunately, while it can get pretty loud, compression artifacts are present when you play it at max volume, which can be disappointing if you like to use your speaker at crowded parties. Also, it has to downmix stereo content to mono when using it on its own, which doesn't sound as immersive. It offers a versatile overall performance that can please lots of different listeners.

The best outdoor smart speaker we've tested is the Sonos Move. This smart speaker offers fantastic voice assistant support with Alexa and Google Assistant built-in. You can activate your assistant with your voice, and it can hear you from far away and in noisy environments. You can even mute the speaker's mic when you no longer want it to hear you. Also, there's a hollow part at the back of this battery-powered speaker that acts as a handle, so you can transport your favorite music with you wherever you go.

It's well-built with an IP56 rating for dust and water resistance that certifies it for protection against direct contact with water for up to three minutes and dust for around two to eight hours, meaning you can take it outside with you without needing to worry about it getting a bit wet. With its room correction feature turned on, it has a well-balanced sound profile suitable for listening to a wide variety of audio content. You can also tweak its sound to your liking using the bass and treble adjustments featured in its companion app.

Unfortunately, there are some compression artifacts present at max volume that degrade the quality of your audio as you bump up the volume. Also, although you can create a stereo pair by connecting it to another compatible speaker, it has to downmix stereo content to mono when using it on its own, which isn't as immersive. If you're looking for a smart speaker you can use outdoors on your patio or by the pool, this versatile speaker is still a solid choice.

The best versatile Bluetooth speaker for bass that we've tested is the Sonos Move. While it doesn't produce a bass as deep as the Denon Home 350, it's battery-powered and has a built-in handle to help carry it, making it more portable. This well-built smart speaker also offers outstanding voice assistant support with Alexa and Google Assistant built-in.

With its room correction feature enabled, its sound profile is very well-balanced, making it suitable for listening to a wide range of music genres. Its Sonos S2 companion app features bass and treble adjustments you can use to tweak its sound to your liking. Its battery can also last over 10 hours from a single charge, which is great for long listening sessions, though this can vary depending on usage.

Unfortunately, while it gets decently loud, there's a lot of compression at max volume, which affects the clarity of your audio when listening at louder volume settings. It downmixes stereo content to mono, and its room correction feature is also only available with iOS devices. However, it's still a great choice if you're looking for a versatile speaker that can produce some bass.

The Sonos Move is the best smart waterproof Bluetooth speaker we've tested. This well-built Bluetooth speaker is rated IP56 for dust and water resistance, meaning it's certified for protection against direct contact with water for up to three minutes and dust for around two to eight hours. It offers outstanding voice assistant support with Alexa and Google Assistant built-in and can understand you from far and in noisier settings. With its room correction feature enabled, it has a neutral sound profile suitable for listening to a wide variety of audio content. You can also customize its sound to your liking using the bass and treble sliders featured in its companion app. That said, it lacks a thumpy and rumbling low bass.

While it's on the larger side, this smart, battery-powered speaker comes with a built-in handle, so you can easily take it outdoors with you to your poolside. However, if you're looking for a smaller portable waterproof speaker you can easily throw in your backpack on the go, you might want to look at the Sonos Roam. The Roam doesn't get as loud as the Move and doesn't produce as deep a bass. Its battery also doesn't last as long.

Sonos is an American company that manufactures high-end audio products like smart speakers and soundbars. Many of their speakers have built-in support for Alexa and Google Assistant, which is helpful if you like issuing voice commands. They often have well-balanced sound profiles that are well-suited to playing music. The companion app, Sonos S2, has bass and treble sliders, which lets you adjust the speaker's sound profile to your liking. Many Sonos speakers are for home use, with wired-only designs. The Sonos One Gen 2 and Sonos One SL can even be used as satellite speakers in some Sonos soundbar setups, like the Sonos Arc.

The Sonos Move is the best Sonos speaker we've tested. While it isn't as small as the Sonos Roam, this battery-powered speaker is still incredibly portable and comes with a built-in carrying handle to help transport it. It's rated IP56 for dust and water resistance, meaning it withstands direct contact with water for up to three minutes and dust for around two to eight hours, so you don't have to worry about it getting a bit wet when bringing it outside with you. Alexa and Google Assistant are built into this speaker and can hear you from far away and in noisy rooms. With its room correction feature enabled, it has a very well-balanced sound profile suitable for listening to lots of different types of audio content. You can also tweak its sound to your liking using the bass and treble slider featured in its companion app. However, while it gets pretty loud, there are compression artifacts that degrade the quality of your audio as you bump up the volume. That said, this well-built smart speaker's versatility makes it one of the best Bluetooth speakers we've tested.

The best Bluetooth speaker with Alexa we&rsquo;ve tested is the Sonos Move. This portable Bluetooth speaker comes with Alexa and Google Assistant built-in, which you can use while connected to a Wi-Fi network. It has no trouble understanding your commands from far away and in noisier rooms, and you can mute its mic when you no longer want the speaker to listen to you. It&rsquo;s battery-powered and well-built, so you can easily move it from room to room or take it outside with you. Its battery life can also last over 10 hours from a single charge, making it great for long listening sessions, though this can vary depending on your usage habits and chosen volume levels.

Its sound profile is balanced, and its mid-range ensures voices and lead instruments are clearly and accurately reproduced in the mix. It has to downmix stereo content to mono, resulting in a soundstage that isn't as immersive. If you prefer having an Alexa speaker with a wider and more immersive-sounding soundstage, consider the Bose Home Speaker 500. However, it isn&rsquo;t as portable or as well-built as the Move.

The Sonos Move is the best speaker that we've tested to use at home overall. It offers excellent voice assistant support, with Alexa and Google Assistant built-in, and can understand your commands from far away and in noisier settings. Its sleek design helps this speaker easily blend in with most home decor. It's also battery-powered and comes with a built-in carrying handle, making it easy to move the speaker between rooms.

With its room correction feature enabled, it has a well-balanced sound profile, making it suitable for listening to a wide variety of audio content. Its balanced mid-range ensures vocals and lead instruments sound clear and present in the mix. There are bass and treble adjustments featured in its companion app, which you can use to tweak its sound to your liking. It's also well-built with an IP56 rating for dust and water resistance, meaning it's certified to be protected against direct contact with water for up to three minutes and dust for around two to eight hours.

Unfortunately, while it can get pretty loud, there are a lot of compression artifacts present at max volume, so your audio doesn't sound as clean at louder volumes. Its room correction feature, called 'Trueplay', is currently only available with iOS devices. It also downmixes stereo content to mono when using it on its own and requires two units to play stereo audio. However, if you're looking for a good speaker to use at home, this versatile speaker would make a great choice.

The best Bluetooth speaker for iPhone that we've tested is the Sonos Move. It has low Apple AirPlay latency, so you can use it to watch videos and movies without many syncing issues between the visuals you see and the audio you hear. There's also a room correction feature currently only available with iOS devices which Sonos calls Trueplay, that adjusts the speaker's sound according to the unique acoustics of the room it's placed in.

With Trueplay enabled, the speaker has a very well-balanced sound profile suitable for listening to a wide variety of audio content. Its balanced mid-range ensures vocals and lead instruments sound clear and present in the mix, which is great for podcast and audiobook lovers. There are also bass and treble adjustments in its companion app to tweak its sound to your liking. This well-built battery-powered speaker is also incredibly portable. It isn't as small and as portable as the Sonos Roam.

Unfortunately, while it offers fantastic voice assistant support for Google Assistant and Alexa, it doesn't support Siri. Although it gets loud enough to fill large rooms with sound, there are a lot of compression artifacts that affect the quality of your audio at louder volume levels. However, if you own another compatible speaker, you can pair them together to create a stereo pair. If you're looking for a versatile speaker to connect your Apple devices to, it's still a solid choice.

The Sonos Move is the best portable speaker we've tested. This versatile battery-powered Bluetooth speaker comes with a built-in handle you can use to carry it from room to room. It offers fantastic voice assistant support with Alexa and Google Assistant built-in and can easily understand you in noisy settings and when you're far away from the speaker. Its long-lasting battery life of over 10 hours makes it great for long listening sessions, though this varies depending on your usage habits.

With its room correction feature turned on, it has a fairly well-balanced sound profile suitable for listening to a wide variety of audio content, and there are bass and treble adjustments in its companion app that you can use to tweak its sound to your liking. It comes with an IP56 rating for dust and water resistance, certifying it to withstand direct contact with water for up to three minutes and dust for around two to eight hours, so you can take it outdoors without needing to worry about it getting wet or dirty.

Unfortunately, its room correction feature is currently only available with iOS devices. Although the speaker gets loud, there's a lot of compression present at max volume that degrades the quality of your audio as you increase the volume. Also, while it's portable, it isn't as small as the Sonos Roam, which you can easily throw in your backpack on the go. However, if you're looking for a portable speaker to use at home or outdoors, this versatile speaker is still a solid choice.

The best smart speaker we've tested is the Sonos Move. This well-built portable smart speaker comes with Alexa and Google Assistant built-in and has little trouble registering your commands when you're far from the speaker or in noisier rooms. You can activate your assistant using your voice and can mute the speaker's mic when you no longer want it listening to you.

With its room correction feature enabled, it has a well-balanced sound profile, with a balanced mid-range that ensures vocals and lead instruments sound clear and present in the mix. Its Sonos S2 app is also fantastic. It comes with bass and treble adjustments to customize the speaker's sound profile to your liking. You can also use the app to connect the speaker to other compatible speakers to create a stereo pair or when you want to listen to different audio in different rooms across your home at once.

Unfortunately, although it supports Apple AirPlay, it doesn't have Chromecast built-in. Its room correction feature is currently only available with iOS devices. It also struggles to reproduce the thump and rumble in low-bass that's typically present in bass-heavy music like hip-hop or EDM and has to downmix stereo content to mono to play it, which isn't as immersive. That said, it's still a great choice if you're looking for a versatile smart speaker to add to your home.

Wirecutter

Matching powerful sound with smart-home savvy, this portable Sonos speaker supports Airplay 2, Alexa, and Google Assistant.

Consumer Reports

CR’s take: The Sonos Move is the first portable Sonos speaker. It doesn't even need WiFi; it's Bluetooth-compatible, which allows easy streaming from a smartphone. But its large size and 6.7-pound weight make it better suited to a trip from the family room to the patio than a ride in a beach bag.
 As with the company's other models, the Move can sit at the heart of a WiFi-powered multiroom system and integrate with other Sonos speakers, most of which have done very well in our testing. It connects to Samsung SmartThings so you can control it, and all your other devices, from the same app. But it also has both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant built in so you can use the assistants via the speaker itself. You can even use them to control your other SmartThings-compatible devices with your voice.
 If you don't need the Move's portability or Bluetooth capabilities, the Sonos One is also compatible with SmartThings and offers the same support for Alexa and Google Assistant—and similar sound quality, albeit with a bit less bass and volume—at around half the price.

CR’s take: The Sonos Move is the first portable Sonos speaker. It doesn't even need WiFi; it's Bluetooth-compatible, which allows easy streaming from a smartphone. However, its large size and 6.6-pound weight make it better suited to a trip from the family room to the patio than a ride in a beach bag.
As with the company's other models, the Move can sit at the heart of a WiFi-powered multiroom system and integrate with other Sonos speakers, most of which have done very well in our testing.
It’s also an assistant-agnostic speaker. Like the Sonos One, the Move works with either Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. You can also stream music to it through Apple AirPlay, but there's no built-in support for Siri.
If you don't need the Move's portability or Bluetooth capabilities, the Sonos One offers the same multiplatform smart speaker functionality—and similar sound quality, albeit with a bit less bass and volume—at around half the price.

The best Bluetooth speaker that we've tested is the Sonos Move. It's a premium, versatile choice that can please many different listeners, with built-in smart features so you can control it with your voice. With a sleek design, it fits easily into your home decor, and it's still portable enough to bring with you on the go. There's even an IP56 rating for dust and water resistance, meaning that it's safe to use near pools and lakes, and it's certified for protection against direct contact with water for up to three minutes.

If you love listening to music, podcasts, and audiobooks, the speaker's a good choice for you, too. Simply connect your phone or other mobile devices over Bluetooth to stream your favorite tunes, and you enjoy a clear and accurate reproduction of voices and other instruments in the mix. Its room correction feature, found with other premium speakers, adjusts its audio output based on your room's unique acoustics, too, which is great. You even have bass and treble adjustments on hand if you want to customize its sound.

On the market for a smart speaker that you can use outdoors on your patio or by the pool? Check out the Sonos Move. While connected to a Wi-Fi network, it offers fantastic voice assistant support with Alexa and Google Assistant built-in. You can activate your assistant with your voice, and it can easily hear you from far away and in noisy environments. If you're worried about privacy, you can even mute its mic when you no longer want it listening to you. There's a hollow part at the back of this battery-powered speaker that acts as a handle, meaning you can transport your music and podcasts with you from your bedroom to the beach.

While it isn't as well-built as the Ultimate Ears MEGABOOM 3 and doesn't float in water, it's still rated IP56 for dust and water resistance, certifying it for protection against direct contact with water for up to three minutes and dust for around two to eight hours. It means you can take it outside with you without worrying about it getting a bit wet. With its room correction feature turned on, it has a well-balanced sound profile suitable for listening to different audio content. While its room correction feature is currently only available with iOS devices, Android users can still tweak its sound using the bass and treble adjustments featured in its companion app. If you're looking for a similar smart speaker that's even more portable, look at the Sonos Roam. However, it doesn't get as loud as the Move and has shorter battery life.

Looking for something more versatile? Check out the Sonos Move. While it doesn't produce bass as deep as the Denon Home 350, it still has a good amount of bass for its size and is more affordable. It's battery-powered, lightweight, and has a built-in handle to help carry it in one hand, making it significantly more portable than larger party speakers on this list, like the JBL PartyBox 310. With its room correction feature enabled, its sound profile is very well-balanced, making it suitable for listening to a wide range of music genres. Its Sonos S2 companion app also features bass and treble adjustments you can use to tweak its sound to your liking.

This well-built smart speaker also offers outstanding voice assistant support with Alexa and Google Assistant built-in and has little trouble understanding your voice from far away and in noisier rooms. Its battery can last over 10 hours on a single charge, which is great for long listening sessions, though this can vary depending on usage. It's well-built, with an IP56 rating for dust and water resistance that certifies it as protected against direct contact with water for up to three minutes and dust for around two to eight hours. It means you can take it outdoors without worrying about it getting wet or dusty.

Sonos is an American company that manufactures high-end audio products like smart speakers and soundbars. Many of their speakers have built-in support for Alexa and Google Assistant, which is helpful if you like issuing voice commands, and they're mainly for use at home. The Sonos One Gen 2 and Sonos One SL can even be used as satellite speakers in some Sonos soundbar setups, like the Sonos Arc. Sonos speakers often have well-balanced sound profiles that are well-suited to playing a wide variety of music genres. They also tend to come with a room correction feature Sonos calls Trueplay, which optimizes the speaker's sound according to the acoustics of the room it's placed in, though the feature is currently only available with iOS devices. The companion app, Sonos S2, has bass and treble sliders to adjust its sound to your liking.

CR’s take: The Sonos Move is the first portable Sonos speaker. It doesn't even need WiFi; it's Bluetooth-compatible, which allows easy streaming from a smartphone. But its large size and 6.7-pound weight make it better suited to a trip from the family room to the patio than a ride in a beach bag. As with the company's other models, the Move can sit at the heart of a WiFi-powered multiroom system and integrate with other Sonos speakers, most of which have done very well in our testing. It connects to Samsung SmartThings so you can control it, and all your other devices, from the same app. But it also has both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant built in so you can use the assistants via the speaker itself. You can even use them to control your other SmartThings-compatible devices with your voice. If you don't need the Move's portability or Bluetooth capabilities, the Sonos One is also compatible with SmartThings and offers the same support for Alexa and Google Assistant—and similar sound quality, albeit with a bit less bass and volume—at around half the price.

Once you become accustomed to the harmonious tones of a high-end home speaker, it can be a sobering disappointment that said speaker can't accompany you into the backyard during nice weather. The Sonos Move solves that problem with its internal battery that provides up to 10 hours of wireless listening enjoyment. It sounds great and looks handsome when sitting on its charging dock in your living room, and then can easily be moved into the backyard to provide a dulcet soundtrack for volleyball games and barbeques. It even sports IP56 water/dust resistance, meaning it can shed pool splashes and rain showers without harm. If your WiFi doesn't quite reach into your backyard, this is the only Sonos speaker that offers Bluetooth connectivity, allowing you to beam music directly from your phone to the speaker sans WiFi network. Plus, it has built-in Alexa and Google Assistant. 
The downside is you'll have to pay a higher price for that beloved portability. And, with long battery life also comes more bulk. Clocking in at 6.6 pounds, the Sonos Move is noticeably heavy and larger than comparable hard-wired speakers. While this is fine for the backyard, you probably won't want to lug it to the beach or on picnics. This model is best for individuals who demand quality sound both inside and outside.
