  Best Wireless Speakers of 2022

  How about giving the gift of music this holiday season? There’s no better way to listen to those favorite tunes than a wireless Bluetooth speaker that delivers great sound.To get more news about bluetooth bike speaker, you can visit magicyclebike.com official website.

  But the ideal option isn’t the same for every listener.

  Some want a versatile multiroom system that fills a home with music from basement to attic. Others prefer a rugged and waterproof portable to take to the park. And for many, audio nirvana is a wireless speaker that couples benchmark sound quality with a reasonable price.Whether your giftee prefers Olivia Rodrigo or Olivia Newton-John, there’s never been a better array of speaker choices. And unlike many other products—say, laptops and phones—great speakers don’t become obsolete quickly. A model that sounds great now should satisfy for years to come.
  
  Below are six impressive models, each ideal for a specific use or listener.

  Consumer Reports buys its test samples the same way you do, through regular retail channels. We then put them through a rigorous standardized evaluation program in a dedicated lab with trained testers. We review each speaker for ease of use and versatility, but most of all sound quality. Our testers listen to each speaker using the same variety of music in the same specially designed listening room, comparing the sound to both expensive reference speakers and top-performing models from our ratings.
  Best-Sounding Wireless Speaker
  Speakers are all about sound. That’s why our testing protocol places more emphasis on sound quality than any other single factor. And Edifier has not one, but two standout models in our wireless speaker ratings (available to CR members).

  Like the earlier Edifier S1000DB, the Edifier S1000MKII—a reasonably priced Bluetooth speaker system sold in a stereo pair—excels sonically. It features smooth trebles but lets you hear the delicate shimmer of a cymbal, too. The musical low frequencies allow you to differentiate between an acoustic doghouse bass and a Fender Jazz bass cranking through an Ampeg amp. The all-important midrange, where most vocals and solo instruments live, is free of the distortions and colorations that can make lesser speakers tiring to listen to after a while.

  And with its classic stereo configuration, the Edifier provides a truly convincing illusion that the musicians are in the room with you. Want to hear for yourself? Listen to Pink Floyd’s epic "Dark Side of the Moon" on the Edifier.
  The S1000MKII is only slightly changed from the highly rated S1000DB. The two models sound almost identical, according to our testers. They’re also very similar in size and appearance, but a new and much improved remote control makes the MKII easier to use and bumps its Overall Score just a bit.

  Note that the S1000DB is still available (though in limited supply) for around the same price as the newer MKII. So unless you’re getting a substantial discount on the S1000DB, make sure you’re buying the higher-rated MKIII.
  Best Home Multiroom Speaker
  The Sonos Five sounds great, but just as important, it plays well with others . . . as long as those others are Sonos-compatible speakers.

  Almost identical in sound and functionality to the manufacturer’s venerable Sonos Play:5, the Sonos Five is a large stereo speaker in a single enclosure. Its powerful bass, shimmering trebles, and sparkling clear midrange earn it a spot near the very top of our sound-quality rankings. If you’re willing to spend $1,000 to pair two Sonos Fives in stereo, the sound quality jumps a notch, to our highest ranking, a distinction shared with the Edifier S1000MKII and Edifier S1000DB.
  The Sonos Five also has the flexibility to let you spread that superb sound throughout your home. You can link a Five with any other Sonos-compatible device—from a Sonos sound bar to a portable Move or Roam smart speaker or even an inexpensive Sonos-compatible speaker from Ikea (see below)—to form a flexible multiroom system.

  That allows you to control the tracks and the volume from your smartphone app, which means you can play Lorde in the family room, stream NPR in the kitchen, and pipe Al Green into the bedroom all with the touch of a finger. Note, however, that like the company’s other home models, the Sonos Five is WiFi only, with no Bluetooth streaming.
