Upgrade your sound system with the best wireless speakers
When it comes to splashing some cash on a wireless speaker, you have many things to consider: sound quality, design attributes and connectivity options for three.
Here we recommend some of the top speakers in the shops right now:
JBL Authentics L8
Unlike most of the wireless speakers on the market, the JBL can connect to absolutely anything: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Airplay are all Authentics’ friends. Fans of retro should also be smitten with its foam grill and glossy black finish while the long design means that you can hear exactly what’s going on (usually a lot, and usually loud) in the individual speakers.

Marshall Stanmore
Via Bluetooth connectivity, the Stanmore will remember the last device it paired with and by simply touching the ‘Pair’ button you allow it to hook up seamlessly. Its classic look will instantly have you thinking of 70s and 80s rock music, while it also has a tough exterior that will survive one or two accidental bumps. Find it here
