Key Buying Decisions

Portable vs powered vs passive

Room and placement

Match speaker size to your space and leave room for them to breathe. Bigger speakers in a tiny room can overwhelm it.

FAQ

Bluetooth or Wi-Fi speakers?

Bluetooth is simple and universal; Wi-Fi/multi-room offers better quality and whole-home audio but needs setup and a stable network.

Are expensive speakers worth it?

Up to a point. Big gains come at the budget-to-mid range; beyond that, improvements get smaller and depend on your room and ears.
