When it comes to music, going wireless is like discovering freedom.
The ability to access and enjoy music virtually anywhere thanks to wireless technology has probably been the single biggest change to how we listen to music in the past ten years.
Adding a wireless speaker to your entertainment is a huge game-changer.
The best Wi-Fi speakers not only impress your guests with sound but offer features that make your life easier. Wi-Fi streaming lets you control music in a multiroom environment, while offering you voice control (for instance, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant or Apple's Siri).
Wireless speakers have also made rapid advancements in HiFi audio quality. High-end wireless audio has actually arrived with new lossless audio formats and increased range.
That’s why wireless speakers for home entertainment are such a popular choice. They can be ideal for you if you're searching for wireless home theatre, multi-room sound system, or portable music.

Think about what type of speaker will suit you best
It's important to know which type of speaker you seek when choosing wireless speakers for home entertainment.
A casual listener looking for something portable and rugged that they can carry easily will prefer a very different set of features than an audiophile.
For most casual listeners the common portable “pill-type”, cube or bar shaped or bluetooth speakers should be a good choice.
They are really compact, affordable, water resistant and have a fair amount of sound for a small get together. If you’re looking for a superior quality however, you may prefer systems with more sound output, refined audio reproduction, multi-room capability and support for lossless formats.
These types of wireless home cinema speakers tend to be much pricier, but also create a better listening experience.

What is the key advantage that wireless speakers have over bluetooth speakers?
A key element of the listening experience tends to be the quality of the wireless connection.
While Bluetooth works well enough when you are stationary or close to the speakers, it can drop the connection as you move farther.
WiFi may be a better option in these situations, because it holds connections better and its coverage can be extended with additional WiFi routers or extenders into more distant parts of the house.
