![]() ![]() Siri is your voice assistant, and after a short period of learning it'll respond to the phrase “Hey Siri, play something I'll like” not by streaming your most played track of the last few weeks, but by playing something that you probably haven't heard before but which has been curated to fit in with your current listening habits and tastes. Not at all bad for a price that falls just under the £100 / $100 / AU$150 mark. From the moment we start playing music, it’s clear that the HomePod Mini comfortably outperforms its size and price, quite frankly embarrassing its direct competition with the sophistication and maturity of its sound. Get its swirling orb of coloured light up and running (when Siri is listening or processing) though, and you realise what a classy performer you've got on your hands. The HomePod Mini really is bijou, and at just 8.4cm tall and 9.8cm wide, it’s quite a bit smaller than the similarly spherical new Amazon Echo - in fact, it’s even dwarfed by the new Echo Dot. To make sure you get the best wireless speaker possible for your specific needs and budget, we’ve created this guide detailing the top performers we’ve reviewed in recent years. With Sonos making big strides with its latest Era 100 and Era 300 models, not to mention the resurgence of the Apple HomePod and some very worthy higher-end choices courtesy of Naim and Dali, you really are spoiled for choice right now. The past year or so has been huge for wireless speakers, reflected in the inclusion of a few new entries to our 2023 Award-winning stable that pack in great sound quality, versatile streaming features and good design. If you're after more rugged portability, cheaper models or more straightforward Bluetooth-only units, you might want to check out our list of the best Bluetooth speakers. If a speaker isn't present on this list, chances are it's not worth your time or your cash – we've thorughly tested all models below (and their price rivals) to ensure we only recommend the best. Just to add an added layer of complexity, there are plenty of not-so-good options available on the market that just aren’t up to snuff.
