What to look for in speakers

Start with where you will listen. A portable speaker with a built-in battery goes anywhere without a socket, and a waterproof, dustproof model copes with the garden or the poolside. Most connect to your phone over Bluetooth. Wi-Fi models with AirPlay or Chromecast let you play music in several rooms at once, and some respond to voice commands. For a bigger sound, check whether the speakers can be linked for stereo or party mode.

In the living room, a soundbar improves TV sound and is best connected to the TV via HDMI eARC. Dolby Atmos adds a sense of height. A separate subwoofer deepens the bass. Compact bookshelf speakers suit a shelf, a stand or a desk next to your computer, but passive ones need an amplifier or receiver to work.
