Wifi speaker for novice.

Legacy_user · 13 October 2018 at 12:53PM

I've now got the free version of Spotify on my samsung a5 phone and laptop. In a short time, hopefully I will have joined my daughters premium version. She is on android like me.

I know she bought a wifi speaker that worked without connecting cables, then because the sound wasn't brilliant, bought a more expensive one.

I think I'd like to buy a wifi speaker that worked without cables and gave good sound quality, but don't know where to start.

I recommend these on a budget

May not be available at Amazon if you have more cash the JBL flip 3 speakers are awesome so surprised how good they are no distortion at high volume

We have Sonos speakers. There are a few different versions depending on size of room or budget or sound quality required.

Ouch, that's too much out of my pension, but thanks.

If that's the sort of thing you're interested in I found the UE Boom better than the JBL flip speaker.

Also the latest Amazon Echo speaker might work for you.

Note there is a difference between bluetooth and wi-fi speakers

Good point. Islandman are you sure you need a wifi speaker or bluetooth? The cheaper speakers above that you showed interest in are bluetooth only.

Try a Google Home speaker and use your Spotify account with that.
This would also give you access to other sources you may find useful, including radio stations.
