The 11 Very Best Bluetooth Speakers For listening to music just about anywhere.

If you want a speaker that can pair with your phone over Bluetooth or connect to all the other audio gear in your home without going all in on Sonos, get Audio Pro’s C10 MKII, which works with gear from the home audio brand WiiM. While Sonos is the most popular brand in multiroom audio, WiiM is a platform-agnostic, audiophile-friendly alternative that works with traditional audio equipment like bookshelf speakers and amps. Just like Sonos, it has integration with Spotify, Tidal, and some more obscure services like Roon and Qobuz. Typically, you need one of WiiM’s devices — which don’t have speakers of their own — to get started, but the C10 MKII has WiiM’s software built in, and you can tie it to all your other WiiM gear.

The C10 MKII is slightly narrower than the Authentics 300, but its sound is even clearer and more balanced at loud volumes, and it has less prominent bass than the Brane X. In addition to controls for volume and playback, there are six preset buttons that you can use to create shortcuts for your favorite music on Spotify and buttons for casting audio to different devices. Because this speaker is meant to tie into other home-audio gear, it also has inputs for connecting to a record player, as well as an output for hooking it up to a subwoofer.

Unlike every other Bluetooth speaker on this list, the C10 MKII doesn’t have a battery, so it works only when plugged into an outlet. That makes it less portable, but because it’s the only speaker that officially works with WiiM’s platform, and because it can work with so many other pieces of stereo equipment, it’s the most customizable speaker we recommend. If you want something that sounds almost as good but has more portability, get the JBL Authentics 300.
