7 Best Wireless Multiroom Speakers of 2026, Evaluated by Our Testers

Sonos has led the way when it comes to easy-to-install multiroom systems, but other companies have joined in, giving music lovers a variety of options. And if you own a smart speaker from one of the major brands—Amazon Echo, Apple HomePod, or Google Nest—you can add other models from that company’s line to form a multiroom system that can send voice-controlled music throughout your home.

The top-rated multiroom speakers in this roundup offer not only solid sound but also impressive flexibility. If your aim is to execute an epic Rickroll and play “Never Gonna Give You Up” perfectly synced through 16 speakers on four different levels of your house, your system is up for the prank. If your goals are more modest—streaming the 99% Invisible podcast quietly in the kitchen while the kids crank the "Moana" soundtrack in the family room, all controlled by your smartphone—that’s easily accomplished as well.

The following are some of the best multiroom speakers in CR’s ratings. Like everything we rate, from printers to pickup trucks, CR buys speakers anonymously through regular retail channels. Our trained testers put each model through a battery of lab tests for ease of use, versatility, and especially sound quality, which earns extra weight in our ratings. Note that the ratings system is slightly different for wireless speakers and smart speakers, so you can’t directly compare the scores.
