Audio T Verdict
The Sonos Move is designed to be portable, but that does not mean it needs to spend its life sitting on a worktop, sideboard or the floor when it is being used at home.
Flexson's dedicated Floor Stand gives the original Sonos Move a proper everyday listening position while retaining the feature that makes Move so useful in the first place: when you want to take the speaker into another room or outside, simply lift it away from the stand.
The stand is purpose-built to accommodate both the Sonos Move and its charging base, so the speaker can remain charged while it is being used indoors. Cable management helps route the charging lead discreetly through the stand rather than leaving it hanging visibly behind the speaker.
At 950mm high, the stand raises the Move to a much more sensible position for seated listening than placing it directly on low furniture or the floor. Its steel and aluminium construction provides a substantial support, while adjustable spikes and supplied rubber feet allow the stand to be used on both carpet and hard flooring.
It is a particularly neat solution if the Move spends most of its time in one room but still regularly gets carried into the garden, kitchen or elsewhere around the home.

A Proper Home for Sonos Move
Sonos Move was designed to operate both as part of a home Sonos system and as a portable speaker that can be picked up and taken elsewhere.
That flexibility can create a small practical problem: when the Move is being used permanently in a living room, bedroom or office, it still needs somewhere sensible to sit.
The Flexson Floor Stand gives it a dedicated position without taking away the ability to remove it whenever portable use is required.
Charges While on the Stand
The stand is shaped to accommodate the Sonos Move charging base beneath the speaker.
This means the Move can remain on charge during normal indoor use rather than having to be periodically removed and charged elsewhere.
When you want to take the Move with you, simply lift the speaker away from its charging base.
The Charging Base Stays Put
One of the useful aspects of the design is that the charging arrangement remains part of the permanent indoor installation.
You can therefore:
- Use the Move normally on its stand
- Keep its battery charged
- Lift the speaker away when required
- Return it to the same charging position afterwards
Sonos Move Is Not Included
This product is the Flexson floor stand only.
The Sonos Move speaker and its Sonos charging base are separate products.
950mm High
The Flexson stand measures approximately 950mm high.
This raises the speaker away from the floor and places it at a more useful height for listening while seated.
It also removes the need to dedicate a sideboard, shelf or table to the speaker.
Why Speaker Height Matters
Wireless speakers are often placed wherever there happens to be a free surface rather than where they work best in the room.
Raising the Move away from the floor can help:
- Reduce obstruction from furniture
- Provide a clearer path between speaker and listener
- Make physical controls easier to reach
- Create a neater permanent installation
Automatic Trueplay Still Does Its Job
The original Sonos Move uses Automatic Trueplay to adapt its sound according to its surroundings.
A stand does not remove the need to think about positioning, but it gives the speaker a repeatable everyday location from which its automatic tuning system can operate.
Keep Some Space Around the Speaker
Even though Move can compensate for its surroundings, try not to squeeze it tightly into a corner or directly between large pieces of furniture unless room layout leaves no alternative.
A little clear space around the speaker can help avoid excessive boundary reinforcement and obstruction.
Easy to Remove for Portable Listening
The stand does not clamp the Sonos Move permanently into place.
The speaker can be lifted away when you want to use it:
- In the garden
- In another room
- In the kitchen
- In a home office
- Away from your home Wi-Fi using Bluetooth
When finished, place it back onto the charging base on the stand.
Integrated Cable Management
Flexson incorporates cable routing into the stand so that the charging cable can be kept considerably tidier than simply hanging down from the back of the speaker.
This is particularly useful when the stand is placed in an open area of a living room where loose cables would otherwise be highly visible.
Steel and Aluminium Construction
The stand is manufactured using a combination of steel and aluminium.
This provides a substantial structure while retaining the clean, slim appearance associated with Flexson's Sonos accessories.
260 x 277mm Footprint
The stand measures approximately:
- Height: 950mm
- Width: 260mm
- Depth: 277mm
It therefore occupies a relatively compact floor area compared with placing the Move on a separate piece of furniture.
4.68kg Stand Weight
The Flexson Floor Stand itself weighs approximately 4.68kg.
This is before adding the Sonos Move and charging base.
Carpet Spikes Included
Adjustable spikes are supplied for carpeted rooms.
These allow the base to pass through the carpet pile and provide a more stable contact point beneath it.
Do Not Use Bare Spikes on Delicate Hard Floors
Metal spikes can damage timber, laminate, vinyl and tiled flooring.
Use the supplied rubber feet where appropriate.
Rubber Feet for Hard Floors
Flexson also supplies rubber feet for use on wood and tiled floors.
These provide a more appropriate interface where carpet spikes are unnecessary or could damage the surface.
Quick Assembly
The stand is designed for straightforward home assembly rather than professional installation.
Once assembled:
- Fit the correct floor interface
- Position the charging base
- Route the charging cable through the stand
- Connect the charging base to power
- Place the Sonos Move onto the charging base
Designed Specifically for Sonos Move
This is not a universal speaker stand.
The top section and charging-base arrangement are designed around the original Sonos Move.
A conventional loudspeaker or another Sonos model should not be assumed to fit simply because its dimensions look similar.
Sonos Move 2 Compatibility
Flexson currently specifies this floor stand for the original Sonos Move.
Sonos states that Move 2 can recharge using the original Move charging base, but Flexson does not currently list Move 2 as an officially supported speaker for this particular stand.
If you are buying the stand specifically for a Sonos Move 2, contact Audio T before ordering so compatibility can be confirmed.
