AirPlay 2 Multi-Room Speakers Ranked

Last updated: October 27, 2026

AirPlay 2 is Apple’s own cross-brand Wi-Fi multi-room standard, not a proprietary system built by the speaker’s manufacturer. Any AirPlay 2 speaker, regardless of brand, can generally join the same multi-room group - the tradeoff is that it needs a shared Wi-Fi network and an Apple device to control it, unlike a simple Bluetooth party-mode button.

6 ranked speakers below support AirPlay 2 multi-room.
