Product Information

This is why it's very important to match up the impedance of your speakers with that of your amplifier. Assuming your speakers aren't damaged or broken, your amplifier may be too powerful for the speaker's drivers and cones.

Most speakers on this list are passive - they have no amplification inside, so require a separate amplifier to work. Although we found the audio quality to be excellently balanced with great detail, the stereo sound wasn't very convincing, but that's okay. You want a classy portable speaker: Some portable speakers can look a little garish, but the Sonos Roam retains the company's understated design aesthetic. The 607 S3 has been updated throughout, with a brand new 25mm titanium decoupled double dome tweeter, a new elongated tube loading system, a revised motor assembly for the 13cm Continuum mid/bass driver, higher-quality components used in the crossover, and sturdier cabinet bracing. In terms of features the JBL Charge 5 is relatively basic compared to something like theJBL Pulse 4– which provides a customizable lightshow for users – but for this fifth generation JBL has incrementally improved sound quality and volume while still offering all-day battery life.These R3 Metas are spacious, dig deep, perform admirably both at loud and low volumes (a rare talent), and are delivered with a precision and accuracy that seems to come oh-so-easily to them. If waterproofing is a priority then look out for models from Ultimate Ears, which combine fun, colorful designs with rugged builds – many of which can withstand a dip in the pool. The Tribit Stormbox Blast is an unusual speaker and there are a few things you need to know before you consider it: it's quite heavy and you can't turn those lights off completely –although you can make it so they only pop up when you're switching the volume levels. We live with these speakers in our homes to make sure that their performances are consistent, and we don't finalize our testing until we are certain of the sound quality. A bass-heavy audio performance makes it ideal for use outdoors, because during our testing we found it's powerful enough to cut through wind noise.

It’s tough to make a truly talented and affordable floorstander, but Wharfedale has cracked it with the 12. Unless you're going for a small or portable speaker, larger speakers that look and sound great for your room will still need to fit and be well-placed.If you're heading out to the beach or going camping, the size and weight will obviously affect the portability. Unless you're going for a wireless music player for portability (actively amplified with its own power), a dedicated amplifier is needed to power passive speakers. So whether you're looking for your first pair of speakers as you build a home music system, upgrading an old pair of budget speakers or going for broke with the best speakers your system, room and finances can accommodate, we're here to help. They are commonly used for left and right audio channels and colour-coded white and red (or black and red) to help when wiring up.

Part hard science, part soft aesthetics, plenty are hoodwinked by expensive looks only to be let down by sound quality. There are a number of solutions to this, the most obvious are acoustic foam panels, careful furniture placement, or wall hangings. The Micro 2 is a brilliantly pocketable portable speaker that's surprisingly good for music as well as an excellent option for listening to podcasts or just watching TV shows on a mobile device. These flashy features would be pointless if the Sonos Roam didn’t sound great – but we’re happy to report that, despite its small stature, the Roam delivers a powerful sonic performance, with remarkably prominent bass, even if it does lack the rhythmic accuracy you'd expect from an audiophile speaker. Feed them a poor signal and they’ll round off rough edges and downplay unwanted aggression without sounding like they’re smothering the life out of the music.If that's your biggest priority, our separate guide just to the best waterproof speakers will show you the options that can take a proper dunking. Meanwhile, a clever Automatic Switching feature means it seamlessly becomes part of your Sonos Wi-Fi multi-room setup indoors. Despite being party-centric (read: packing tons of bass), we found it also delivers a very well-balanced soundscape.
