Looking for a speaker you can talk to? A real voice assistant means a microphone on the speaker itself. Most speakers tie you to Google, Amazon or Apple, so pick the assistant you already use first; the picks below are split that way.

A voice assistant doesn’t improve sound. See every speaker with a built-in voice assistant for the full list ordered by sound quality.
Check for a real microphone. Some speakers only relay voice commands through a phone app, which isn’t the same as a speaker with its own microphones.
See every speaker with a built-in voice assistant for the complete list, or the powered speaker buyer’s guide for picks that don’t require the feature.
