BEST FOR AUDIO

Google’s gone for a different cuboid design and it puts a focus on sound. There are no visible buttons but it does feature responsive capacitive touch controls. When Google Assistant is audibly summoned, LED lights show from under the speaker’s recycled plastic skin. The sound is good but not room-filling. But with lots of streaming platforms and Chromecast built-in, it lives up to its ‘audio’ name. £89.99, store.google.com
