Best Wi-Fi Wireless Speaker of 2023 – CNET
Best Wi-Fi Wireless Speaker of 2023 - CNET
If you want to elevate your entertainment setup, adding a wireless speaker can go a long way. Not only will you seriously impress your guests, you’ll also be able to enjoy the added portability of going wireless. Wi-Fi speakers provide you with great sound quality and connect over your available Wi-Fi network.
Wi-Fi streaming lets you control music in a multiroom environment, and most Wi-Fi speakers also offer voice control (for instance, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant or Apple’s Siri). That means you can ask your speaker for a specific song, and it’ll play it back for you (if you want more on this, don’t miss CNET’s guide to the best smart speakers). For the streaming speakers that do offer voice control, if you’re not into that you can just turn it off.
Either way, you don’t need to spend very much — for instance, a fantastic “dumb” multiroom speaker like the Ikea Symfonisk Bookshelf starts at $140.
To help you figure out which will be the perfect fit for your home’s audio setup, we made a list of the best Wi-Fi speakers we’ve tested in the CNET labs. Read on.

For $140 there’s a number of excellent smart speakers to choose from, including the Amazon Echo, Nest Audio and HomePod Mini, but the Symfonisk is bigger than all of them. Bigger cabinets usually mean bigger sound. While this speaker is best as part of a Sonos surround sound system, it also makes a great kids’ room or garage speaker.

Google may offer a lot of speakers, including the Nest Audio, but the one that was truly great with music — the Home Max — has been discontinued. It’s surprising then that the list of affordable-yet-good-sounding Chromecast built-in speakers can be counted on the fingers of one hand. And of those, the JBL Playlist is the best I’ve tested, with a generously sized speaker and enough volume to fill a typical room.

JBL Playlist 150
Google may offer a lot of speakers, including the Nest Audio, but the one that was truly great with music — the Home Max — has been discontinued. It’s surprising then that the list of affordable-yet-good-sounding Chromecast built-in speakers can be counted on the fingers of one hand.

It also has Bluetooth and an auxiliary input to expand its flexibility. It may not be “smart”, but if you want a system that can be controlled via an existing Google Assistant speaker, this is the one to get.
- The JBL Playlist is the most affordable Chromecast speaker I’ve seen and it offers the most open sound we’ve heard in a product of this kind. Setup is easier than with most other Wi-Fi speakers thanks to the Google Home app, which also lets you have a multiroom system on a budget. The ability to use Bluetooth or auxiliary adds a lot of convenience.
- The speaker isn’t as convincing with bass-heavy material like dance or pop music. The build quality isn’t as impressive as its rivals’. There’s no onboard battery so it’s stuck in one spot.

- The sound isn’t always very distinct, which makes it less suitable to showcasing 3D music or Atmos. Multiroom support lags behind Sonos and Apple AirPlay. Dolby Atmos soundtracks require a Fire TV device.
