At Cableuniverse.co.uk we are now familiar with wireless speakers from almost all popular brands. We are therefore regularly asked what the best wireless speaker is. Obviously there is no clear answer to this and you will have to draw up rules in advance, otherwise you will be comparing apples with pears.
We are the first to distinguish in our test for the best speaker Wifi speakers and Bluetooth speakers. Although more and more bluetooth speakers can be linked together, it is not fair to compare them with the WiFi speakers from Sonos and Heos in terms of speaker quality and price. That is why we first determine what the best bluetooth speaker is at the moment (up to 200 euros) and then we discuss the best WiFi speakers.

Sonos has been actively developing a multiroom system since the beginning. They had and still have a huge lead over the other brands. Sonos has the most possibilities to expand, an app that they keep improving and the most important thing is that Sonos simply functions well and is easy to use.

- Not dependent on the range of your router. The signal is passed from speaker to speaker via Sonosnet, for optimal range.

Bose Home Speaker
- Sound performance: Room-rocking bass and 360-degree, lifelike sound in a compact size
In our opinion, Bose Home is the right number 2 in this best WiFi speaker test. The well-known audio brand Bose could not be left behind with a smart speaker and introduced the Bose Home to compete with Sonos and Google Home. You can easily operate the Bose Home with the Google Home app or via voice control. With the Bose Soundbar 700 and Bose Bass module 700 it is possible to play movies in a 5.1 dolby surround sound together with Bose Surround Speakers.
The pros of Bose Home
