WIRELESS SPEAKERS

These premium wireless speakers showcase the many cable-free ways you can connect to your music

Featuring premium models from Audio Pro, B&O, B&W, KEF, Naim and Sonos, these are the best wireless speakers and systems on the market right now

The Bluetooth speaker is pretty much ubiquitous now. What, just a decade or so ago, would have seemed like witchcraft or science fiction is now commonplace and everyday. Today, everyone wants and expects the convenience of a tether-free connection. (Indeed, on certain mobile phones we no longer seem to have much of a choice…)

Nevertheless, as is the way with these things, there’s wireless and there’s wireless. It’s perfectly possible to buy a functioning wireless speaker for less than £100 – and it will do a decent job for the money. But if you want sound that truly nears hi-fi quality to go with the convenience, you need to invest a bit. Which is where this round-up comes in.

Over the next few pages, we present our pick of the best premium speakers and systems that can make the most of your music, while also offering the convenience of streaming and wireless abilities, to give you the best of both worlds. There are Award-winners and old favourites here, from all the major brands enjoying success in this sector of the market.

Whether it’s the classic Zeppelin from Bowers and Wilkins or the new LSX from KEF – very different and more of a stereo system compared with the other equipment here – there will be a product in these pages that will tick most of your boxes. And, whichever item you choose to invest in, you can rest assured you’ll be in possession of something that sounds simply superb.
