A multiroom wireless speaker system is the simplest, most straightforward way to play music and podcasts throughout your home with seamless flexibility. Just place the powered speakers in the desired rooms, connect them via a wireless network, and control them via an app on your phone, tablet, or computer—or even using your voice.

The hardest thing about multiroom audio is choosing the system itself. This category has evolved so much, and grown so competitive, over the past decade that there are myriad ways to accomplish the same tasks—and there’s no one, “best” way for everyone.
