TOP 9 Wireless Speakers of 2022

This year, the leader of last year’s top 10 Bluetooth speakers is in second place. A complete sound system with 4 speakers that fill the room with perfect sound quality. Built-in rechargeable battery gives up to 8 hours of battery life, allows you to charge the device through the port. Connect a pair of Dual Sound-enabled systems wirelessly to take your sound to the next level.

Premium materials are used to make the column. The design is very interesting, in the interior the model will serve as a decor. There are a couple of microphones with noise reduction and eco compensation. All together, this makes the system universal and multifunctional, however, it is definitely impossible to call the solution cheap.

An expensive and incredibly powerful portable speaker from the Harman Kardon brand. Immediately warn that the prefix Mini in the title does not mean compactness. Just in this case, you will get a kind of reduced analogue of the standard Go + Play model. The dimensions and weight of the observed column are very impressive — 418 mm in length and almost 3.5 kilograms. Obviously, such a large device could not do without a strong handle that allows you to take it with you to nature or a party.

Go + Play Mini can work both from the built-in battery, which lasts up to 8 hours, and from the mains. All connectors are located at the back under the plug. Among other things, the manufacturer added a USB-A port to the column, but it is only intended for charging mobile devices. This is convenient if your phone starts to sit down in nature. The device is controlled by three buttons. The power of the device is as much as 100 watts. However, even at maximum volume, the Go + Play Mini sounds very nice and clear.

Bang & Olfsen Beolit ​​17

Bang & Olfsen Beolit ​​17 surely entered the top three of our rating.

The largest and most massive system in the Bang & Olufsen range is the Beolit ​​17. It weighs 2.7 kg and contains one 139 mm woofer, three 38 mm tweeters, two 101 mm passive radiators and two 35 W amplifiers that output omnidirectional sound. The device is made in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped with an aluminum grill along the perimeter and a comfortable platform with sides on top.

It was originally released as the Beolit ​​12, then upgraded to the Beolit ​​15, and now it’s the turn of the 17. There’s Bluetooth with aptX, a 3.5mm input, and a 2200mAh battery that’s enough for 24 hours of use. It is possible to charge mobile devices. Such a pleasure costs from 400 dollars.

Bose Sound Link Revolve+

In sports, fourth place is considered the most offensive result, but now we are talking about sound! Bose, although inferior to our winners, still occupies one of the first lines of the rating, bursting into it with its new Sound Link Revolve + portable acoustics. The brand boldly claims that this particular model is the best mini-system with Bluetooth support. Is it so? Let’s go watch together!

Do you like to party, but during the pandemic, try to attend public events less often? Then this column is for you. Techno club or rock bar — it doesn’t matter! Uniform 360° sound coverage will take the listener anywhere and create the right atmosphere. By the way, if parties are not about you, don’t be upset, just take the speaker for a walk, picnic or workout. The combination of power and compactness is surprising, so using the Bose Sound Link Revolve + is not only possible, but absolutely necessary everywhere. The column weighs less than one kilogram, and a convenient handle is also provided for transporting the device.

What if it rains while walking? The manufacturer has foreseen everything here too — a waterproof case will prevent any undesirable cases. Yes, that means a pool party too!

Some more important information: work from one charge up to 16 hours, wireless connection range up to 9 meters. It is possible to control via Siri and Google voice commands, there is no need to constantly keep the smartphone at hand. Sound Link Revolve+ is perfectly compatible with other devices of the brand, which adds an extra point to comfortable use.

We haven’t forgotten about the connectors either: there is a 3.5 mm audio input and micro-USB type B. It is available in two colors: black and white. Choose according to your interior or mood!

JBL Boombox 2

«People’s» brand JBL or GB-Elka received only fifth place this year.

This popular Bluetooth-enabled portable speaker features an eye-catching RGB lighting design that will brighten up even a dull party. From the connectors there is a USB 2.0 and a 3.5 mm output.

Partybox 100 is powered by speakers with a total output of 160 watts. They clearly play different musical genres across the entire frequency range. Loud music lovers will appreciate the «bass boost» function, which will add power to the reproduced sound.

As for autonomy, the speaker system is all right with this. On a full charge, the battery will last 12 hours. With moderate use, connect the column to the power supply no more than 3 times a week. Judging by the reviews, it takes 6.5 hours to fully charge the battery. And if the battery dies at the wrong time, Partybox 100 will continue to work from the network, not allowing the party to be interrupted. However, moving the column from place to place will not be easy — 9.7 kg make themselves felt.

Sony SRS-XG500

Bose Home Speaker 500

The Bose Home Speaker 500 performs the main function of a speaker: it fills the room with stereo sound from wall to wall, reproduces the perfect voice at any frequency. The smart model is augmented with Amazon Alexa intelligence. 2 speakers on the case are directed in different directions to pick up the voice from any end of the room. Amazon Alexa makes it easy to manage music, sort playlists. It connects to a smart home. The firmware is regularly updated based on customer feedback.

It allows you to customize the preferences of each family member.

Sonos One and One SL

The compact One and One SL speakers will be a good solution for those who decide to get to know Sonos, understand the branded ecosystem and build their first multi-room.

This speaker will be a «starter» device that can be integrated with other Sonos music devices in the future. Using the One SL as a base, it’s easy to assemble a complete wireless multi-room or DC system, because two One SLs can work as additional surround speakers for the soundbar.

The compactness of the device and the presence of a large number of mounts will allow you to place the column almost anywhere. By the way, Sonos offers the One in both black and white.

The One model boasts two class-D amplifiers that drive two drivers — mid/bass and a tweeter, AirPlay 2 support and built-in Wi-Fi. If two Ones are combined into one system, you get a full-fledged stereo.

AudioPro

While we’re willing to give it a little benign ribbing for an aesthetic that eschews the trend of other Audio Pro speakers, the Drumfire is very well put together. At the big bottom of the Drumfire is a 20cm subwoofer, powered by a 200W Class D amplifier that pumps the bass into the room. And you can hear it.

If you want really powerful, really impressive sound, look no further. You get a lot of bulk and weight, but don’t think this speaker can’t do subtle things either — it’s a high-end wireless speaker, whatever you use. Add in multi-room connectivity and the ability to expand the Audio Pro family and you have an enticing, superior high-end speaker system.

Klipsch The Three

As far back as 1947, Paul Klipsch, an enthusiastic music lover and acoustic engineer, started a modest workshop for hand-assembling loudspeakers, and now his company has grown into the most influential player in the professional audio market. The Three is just one of many products under the Klipsch name that have impressed spoiled contemporaries with power and intelligibility, unprecedented frequency width and richness of the sound stage. She can play music of any genre — from hip hop and pop style to rock and classics.

To call the device portable does not turn the tongue — firstly, its image does not allow, and secondly, it does not have a battery and even an elementary carrying handle. But does anyone really want to take this handsome man into the street in a natural wood case and noble brass regulators? No, this is still a device exclusively for home use. And here, thanks to the full range of modern functions, a rich set of communication tools and original sound, it manifests itself in all its glory.
