The editor-approved Sonos Move 2 is down to its lowest price ahead of summer
After this past Memorial Day weekend, many of us had a taste of the unofficial start of summer. If you're looking to upgrade your poolside or beach setup, now's a great time to do so with the Sonos Move 2 back down to its all-time low price. The portable Bluetooth speaker is over $100 off at Amazon, Best Buy and Sonos.
Sonos Move 2
The Sonos Move 2 is one of our favorite portable speakers because of its top-tier sound quality. Its audio reaches large crowds, and its compact size travels well to the beach. We loved its long-lasting replaceable battery and voice control feature that pushes it to the level of a smart speaker. It also seamlessly syncs with your current Sonos ecosystem.Read our review Bring the good vibes wherever you are with a speaker that can truly do it all. We're big fans of Sonos' line of luxury tech at CNN Underscored and are stoked that the bestselling Sonos 2 is matching its lowest price in White, Olive and Black. The crisp sound quality impressed us, and the dual tweeters created a stereo-like sound that was surprising for a portable speaker.
For those concerned about battery life, the Move 2 can pump out tunes for an entire day on a full charge. It only decreased to 55% battery after 10 hours of listening, per our testing. If you're looking to upgrade your current Sonos environment, the Move 2 offers larger-than-life sound quality compared to the brand's smaller portable speakers. It makes sense for those who host and want full sound integration across their property.
After initially being deterred by the price, we soon learned that the multiroom audio setup, sleek packaging, battery life and high-end sound quality were well worth the $449 price tag — that's what makes this current 25% off deal even better. Now you can save $113 ahead of upcoming park hangs or days sitting around a campfire with friends. Still, if you're looking for something more pocket-sized, the editor-approved Sonos Roam 2 is discounted by $45 at Sonos.

The household auto fleet is a money pit
There's a financial crisis hiding in plain sight: the American household vehicle fleet. Families are hemorrhaging money through car payments, insurance, fuel, maintenance, depreciation, parking, and registration. In many cases, this adds up to more than a family's annual savings—or the cost of sending a child to college every four years. Car ownership is nearly universal in the U.S., with 92% of households owning at least one vehicle. About 37% own two cars, and 22% own three or more. In 2023, the average annual cost to own and operate a new vehicle climbed to $12,182. For households with two cars, that's nearly $25,000 per year—a recurring expense that too often escapes scrutiny. Now consider how those vehicles are used. In 2021, more than half of all daily trips in the U.S. were under three miles. Nearly 30% were less than one mile. We're paying a fortune to go nowhere. The rise of remote and hybrid work has amplified the mismatch between cost and use. As of 2023, more than a third of U.S. employees worked remotely full time, with another 41% following hybrid work models. Pew Research Center reported that almost half of remote workers would look for a new job if their employer took this option off the table. Cars are parked roughly 95% of the time, depreciating as they collect pollen and bird droppings. And yet they demand monthly payments, insurance, fuel, and maintenance. The long-distance commute has been the primary reason for every working member of the family needing their own vehicle, but our travel habits have changed. What if owning fewer cars was a sign of more success? A growing number of families are experimenting with a car-lite lifestyle—ditching the second or third car and rediscovering local travel through bikes, transit, or walking. They're not doing it to make a statement. They're doing it to make ends meet—and to take back their time. At the center of this quiet shift: the e-bike. Part appliance and part liberation machine, e-bikes are redefining what a 'vehicle' can be. School drop-offs, grocery runs, commutes, and social visits—trips once assumed to require a car—are increasingly accomplished with battery-assisted pedaling. Terrain and distance fade as barriers. In 2022, more than 1.1 million e-bikes were sold in the U.S., nearly quadruple the number from 2019. E-bikes now account for over 20% of total bicycle sales in the U.S., and they represented 63% of revenue growth in the bike industry between 2019 and 2023. Bikes have become robust enough to handle everything from kid pickups to bulk grocery runs, and more cities are creating rebate programs to accelerate adoption. Replacing a car with an e-bike can save a household $120,000 over a decade—enough to wipe out debt, fund a college account, or boost retirement savings. And as infrastructure improves with more protected lanes, slower streets, and secure parking, the e-bike can graduate from practical to preferable. What if you spent less on movement and more on meaning? What if streets worked as well for bikes as they do for cars? What if getting around town felt like a lifestyle upgrade? For too long, success was measured by how many vehicles fit in your driveway. But those cars aren't status symbols—they're financial sinkholes. Remember, more than half of America's car trips are under a few miles. If you're going broke to go nowhere, the journey needs a new map.
