What reviewers think

Bloggers and YouTubers have tried this product—so we've summarized their strongest opinions below. Links to full reviews follow.

What are hifi reviews useful for? (1) Identifying products you should demo in person at a dealer. (2) Learning which products reviewers unanimously praise as the best they've heard (this means they probably are legitimately great). (3) Identifying a product's attributes that satisfy your idiosyncratic needs and tastes. Beyond that, we often discount what reviewers say because they heap praise on most products—and are often apprehensive about publishing strong criticism or comparisons between products. Further, they seldom have more than a few products on-hand, often relying on their memories to compare past products. Always listen for yourself.

Brand highlights

Taking a step back to look at reviewers' thoughts of the brand's entire lineup—not just this product—what stands out most is the following:

  • Sonoro offers a unique blend of German design and engineering, resulting in visually appealing audio systems that seamlessly integrate into modern living spaces.

Orchestra Slim

  • Positioning: The entry-level, compact integrated amplifier designed for small spaces and affordability.
  • Description: Offers a streamlined design and essential connectivity that works well in confined environments with modest sonic demands. Its performance is more basic compared to the larger Orchestra and Maestro models, making it a good choice for budget-conscious users who require straightforward functionality without advanced features.

Orchestra

  • Positioning: A mid-range amplifier aimed at balanced performance for typical home audio setups.
  • Description: Delivers a robust amplification stage with improved output over the Slim version and adds versatility in connectivity, ideal for users in small to medium rooms seeking better sound quality.

Orchestra Gen2

  • Positioning: A performance-focused upgrade that improves on the classic Orchestra with enhanced circuitry and connectivity.
  • Description: Introduces refined signal processing and an improved amplification circuit that results in clearer sound and broader dynamic range, suitable for larger or acoustically challenging spaces. Compared to the standard Orchestra and the Slim, it offers noticeable technical enhancements while still not reaching the higher processing sophistication and connectivity options found on the Maestro series.

Maestro

  • Positioning: A premium integrated amplifier known for its advanced processing and higher build quality for demanding audiophile setups.
  • Description: Features a more integrated digital processing stage and versatile connectivity options that boost performance in moderate to larger spaces. While it outperforms the Orchestra series in build and sound clarity, it is still positioned below the flagship model in terms of technical sophistication and cutting-edge features.

Maestro Quantum

  • Positioning: The flagship amplifier that brings groundbreaking technology and the highest performance to advanced audio systems.
  • Description: Offers state-of-the-art digital processing with a quantum-enhanced circuitry that delivers precise sound reproduction and wider dynamic range, ideal for dedicated listening rooms and users with top-tier sonic ambitions. It outclasses all other models in the lineup in terms of complexity and function, offering advanced connectivity and processing that justify its premium positioning compared to the Maestro and Orchestra groups.

Reviews

Compact and powerful sound

Thanks to its weatherproof housing and power, our portable design speaker P6 BT shines as a portable outdoor Bluetooth speaker and also blends unobtrusively into any interior style indoors with its elegant design.

SOUND

Equipped with two speaker drivers (identical to the P9) and an upward-firing upfire subwoofer, the Escape P6 BT behind its compact size impressive sound. Thanks to its low weight of 7.5 kg, it is even easier to get to where good sound in a handsome design is needed. The built-in 24-bit DSP provides powerful and impressively room-filling sound. The P6 BT can also be paired with a second identical model to deliver true stereo sound.

DESIGNED

The carefully crafted design - made from premium materials - is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also offers protection against splashing water thanks to its IPX4 certification. An elegant polyester yarn mesh gives the P6 BT a pleasant and natural look while being robust at the same time. Thanks to the stylish powder-coated aluminum handle, the P6 BT is easy to carry. So: where do you want to go?

Sonoro creates compact hifi systems with room-specific designs, including water-resistant models for bathrooms and meditation-enabled units for bedrooms. Their products combine premium materials with advanced features like 360-degree sound and streaming capabilities, all while maintaining a sleek, stylish aesthetic that complements various living spaces.

Product Strengths

  • Sounds great outdoors with an incredibly even, omnidirectional performance
  • Superb build and finish, looks and feels the asking price
  • Clever, easy to use design
  • The dedicated control app is genuinely good, stable, and allows independent volume adjustment and EQ tweaking
  • IPX4 rated, making it resistant to splashing water

Product Considerations

  • Bluetooth implementation is basic for the price, using SBC only without extended audio support
  • Quite big, making it less portable
  • Indoors, it is not quite as assured as some dedicated hifi products

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

  • Vs Elipson W35+: The Elipson W35+ used over Bluetooth is more of a 'hifi' product, with a level of detail and stereo imaging that the Escape can't challenge indoors
  • Vs Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin and Naim Mu-So Qb 2nd Generation: The Escape will be completely unaffected by rain, whereas the Zeppelin or Mu-So QB2 would likely be damaged

Takeaway: The Escape P6 BT is a well-designed and robust outdoor speaker that delivers great sound and ease of use in outdoor environments. If needing a speaker that can survive the elements and sound good, this could be a worthwhile option.

Music streaming across rooms

From the garden through the living room, into the kitchen and back again - and never miss a second of your favorite song. No problem with the Escape P6 AIR.

SOUND

By integrating it into an existing network, you can use modern and cross-room WiFi streaming without any further effort. Using Apple AirPlay, Google Cast, Spotify Connect or Roon, you can play your playlist simultaneously on other compatible music systems, e.g. sonoro MEISTERSTÜCK (Gen.2) or MAESTRO Quantum . But even without WiFi available, the elegantly designed speaker will not remain silent. No matter where you take it, thanks to Bluetooth 5.0, nothing stands in the way of convenient music enjoyment.

DESIGNED

The sophisticated design of the portable Bluetooth speaker - made from high-quality materials - is not only visually appealing, but is also protected against splashing water with its IPX4 certification. An attractive mesh made of polyester yarn gives the P6 AIR a pleasant and natural look while also offering robustness. The elegant powder-coated aluminum handle makes the device easy to carry.

Product Strengths

  • Good sound quality, especially in stereo pairing, makes it enjoyable for various music genres
  • Portable, WiFi-enabled speaker
  • Roon Ready, enabling stereo pairing configuration
  • Stable connectivity most of the time

Product Considerations

  • The Escape Remote app may show different battery levels for paired speakers despite being used for the same amount of time

Takeaway: The Escape P6 Air is a great-sounding, mobile outdoor speaker that works well with Roon. It is perfect for enjoying good-quality music outside, especially when used as a stereo pair.

Upgraded inside and out, our most powerful portable speaker delivers heart-pumping stereo sound wherever you want.
Check Amazon
Sonos pioneered multi-room wireless audio with their proprietary SonosNet mesh network, which ensures synchronized streaming across multiple speakers without relying on traditional Wi-Fi. Their products feature Trueplay technology that automatically tunes speakers to room acoustics, while supporting multiple voice assistants and streaming services across their platform-agnostic ecosystem.
Expand Details

Our Summary

Product Strengths

  • Improved stereo sound compared to the original Move, due to the addition of dual tweeters
  • Significantly longer battery life—advertised up to 24 hours—making it suitable for extended use indoors and outdoors
  • Designed with portability in mind, featuring a built-in handle for easy carrying and an IP56 rating for dust and water resistance
  • The speaker benefits from the Auto Trueplay feature, which automatically optimizes the sound to the unique acoustics of your space, delivering a balanced audio experience
  • Versatile connectivity options including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and AirPlay 2, and can even stream Bluetooth audio to other Sonos speakers

Product Considerations

  • Considered hefty and not as easily portable as smaller options like the Sonos Roam
  • Google Assistant is no longer supported, which may be a drawback for users heavily invested in the Google ecosystem
  • It cannot be used as a speakerphone for calls
  • Despite being a stereo speaker, channel separation isn't always very distinct, and it can sound more like an expansive mono speaker
  • An adapter is needed for a line-in connection, and a carrying case are sold separately, which increases the overall cost

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

  • Vs Sonos Move: The Move 2 offers stereo playback—as opposed to mono—longer battery life, and more connectivity options
  • Vs Sonos Roam: The Move 2 sounds better and gets louder, but the Roam is smaller and lighter
  • Vs Sonos Era 300: The Era 300 has Dolby Atmos support, but is not portable or water-resistant like the Move 2
  • Vs Sonos Era 100: The Move 2 can be taken on the go unlike the Era 100 and is rated for dust and water resistance
  • Vs Bose SoundLink Max: The Sonos Move 2 sounds a bit more balanced out of the box, and its battery can even be replaced down the line, while the Bose has a longer-lasting battery and doesn't require an adapter to connect to analog line-in sources, but it can't connect to Wi-Fi

Takeaway: The Sonos Move 2 is a versatile and improved portable speaker, offering great sound and battery life for both indoor and outdoor use, and its integration with the Sonos ecosystem makes it an easy choice for existing Sonos users.
