A portable speaker with extraordinarily deep bass for its size, plus Wi-Fi, AirPlay, Alexa and a low latency aux input.
33 speakers in our rankings have a real built-in voice assistant, meaning a microphone array that listens for a wake word and Google Assistant, Alexa, Gemini or Siri running on the speaker itself, not just Bluetooth playback from a phone that happens to have one. A speaker only counts here when it has an actual microphone; a companion app that can relay a command from your phone doesn’t make the speaker itself smart. Most entries are mains-powered desktop speakers, but a handful of portable speakers, such as the battery-powered Sonos Move and Roam lines, qualify too and are grouped in here alongside them.
A speaker’s rank here reflects its measured audio performance, not the presence of a voice assistant. Most speakers on this site have neither a microphone nor Wi-Fi at all, and the ones that do are usually part of a wider smart-speaker ecosystem, such as Google’s Nest and Home lineup, rather than a dedicated hi-fi design. If you want a voice assistant weighed against sound quality and split by ecosystem rather than just listed, see our curated best powered speakers with a voice assistant picks instead. For background on the other connection types powered speakers use, see powered speaker inputs explained.
This is every match, grouped by size and sorted by measured sound quality.
