音樂讓房子更有家的感覺。

不論是招待朋友，還是想在洗碗的時候自娛自樂，用智能手機或電視讓房間充滿動聽音樂，總是能營造出更好的氛圍。但市面上的無線音箱品種繁多，令人難以選擇。

無線音箱的價格從幾美元（往往音質較差，音量較小）到數千美元（通常音效出色，但高昂的價格則會壓縮娛樂預算）不等。但也有一些中間價位的音箱，憑借出色的頻率范圍和靈活性，讓你興奮不已。

下面幾款音箱值得購買：

Music makes a house a home.

Whether you're entertaining friends or just looking for a distraction as you do the dishes, a room full of sound—streamed from your smartphone or your TV—always makes it better. But with so many wireless speakers on the market, it can be a baffling choice.

Prices can range from just a few dollars (almost always resulting in a thin, tiny sound) to multiple thousands of dollars (which are usually great, but leave significantly less room in the budget for entertaining). There are, however, several great speakers in the middle of that spectrum that will blow your socks off with their range and flexibility.

Here are a few to consider:

Sonos Play

Sonos奠定了無線家庭音響系統的基礎，并且依舊在業內占據主導地位。公司提供的三款音箱各有優點。199美元的Play 1價格更便宜，但并非電池供電。Play 3的售價為299美元，在音質上有顯著提高，并且體積適中。

而要想尋找純凈的音質，499美元的Play 5是最好的選擇。Play 5在去年進行了升級：音箱體積更大，能帶來更出色的低音效果；三個高音揚聲器和中頻低音揚聲器，可以帶來非凡的音質。它也是唯一一款支持3.5 毫米輸入的Sonos音箱，這意味著你可以離線聽音樂。

這三款設備均支持播放Spotify和Tidal等主流服務提供的流媒體音樂，同時還支持亞馬遜（Amazon）等基于云的音樂存儲網站。所有音箱均通過Sonos應用控制。哪一款才是最佳選擇，取決于你想要一套在整棟房子內使用的音響設備，還是只安裝在一個房間，不過每一款Play音箱都有各自的亮點。

Sonos Play

Sonos laid the groundwork for the wireless home audio market, and it's still the 500-pound gorilla in the metaphorical room. The company offers a trio of speakers, each with its own merits. The $199 Play 1 is notably cheaper, but isn't battery powered. Play 3, which runs $299, offers a significantly improved sound quality and has a moderate footprint.

If you're looking for pure sound performance, the $499 Play 5 is the way to go. Updated last year, it has a larger cabinet, meaning better bass sounds, and three tweeters and mid-range woofers, resulting in phenomenal sound quality. It's also the only Sonos with a 3.5mm input, meaning you can listen offline.

All three devices let you stream music from major services like Spotify and Tidal, as well as cloud-based music storage sites like Amazon (amzn). Those are all controlled via the Sonos app. The best model for you will likely depend on if you're interested in a whole-home audio setup or a single room, but each of the various Play models has something to offer.

Riva Audio Turbo X

Riva的創始人是音樂行業的傳奇人物瑞奇·法爾，他曾為甲殼蟲樂隊（The Beatles）、齊柏林飛艇（Led Zeppelin）和滾石樂隊（The Rolling Stones）制作過大量音樂會和唱片專輯。Riva成立之后便推出了這款159美元的無線藍牙音箱。這款音箱憑借其豐富均衡的音效和靈活性，獲得了評論界的一致贊揚。藍牙功能支持從智能手機或有線/衛星電視機頂盒播放流媒體音樂（這讓它成為一款非常出色的家庭影院附件）。音箱支持3.5毫米輸入，可以直接播放藍光播放器、乃至唱片機等各種設備上的音樂。此外，它的電池續航能力驚人，長達26個小時。但它真正的賣點還是音質。Turbo X可以播放高達100分貝的高音，并且不會失真。你或許不會經常用到這一功能，但能有這樣的選擇，總是好的。

Riva Audio Turbo X

Launched by music industry legend Rikki Farr—who has produced a staggering number of concerts and record albums for The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and The Rolling Stones—Riva came out swinging with this $159 wireless bluetooth speaker. It has earned universal critical praise for its rich, balanced sound, and flexibility. Bluetooth lets you stream from your smartphone or cable/satellite box (making it a terrific home theater add-on). It offers a 3.5mm input for direct streaming from everything from a Blu-ray player to a turntable. And it has a phenomenal battery life: up to 26 hours. The sound quality is the real star, though. The Turbo X can play as loud as 100 decibels without distortion. You likely won't take advantage of that too often, but it's nice to know you can.

Bose SoundTouch 30

Bose是音箱市場最知名的品牌之一，但其早期在無線領域所做的努力并沒有贏得太多粉絲的認可。但SoundTouch 30的橫空出世改變了這一局面。這款音箱的 售價為500美元。它的體積超過了多數無線音箱，但卻能夠提供Bose招牌性的活潑音效。用戶可以通過藍牙模塊播放手機或平板設備中的音樂，或者直接連接到家中的Wi-Fi系統。這也是少數幾款配備遙控器的無線家庭音響系統，用戶可以通過預設按鍵從本地或通過流媒體服務，快速播放最喜歡的音樂列表。這款音箱更適合宴會而非狂歡派對，不過它總是能讓房間的每個角落都洋溢著悠揚樂韻。（房子面積不夠大？可以考慮350美元的SoundTouch 20。）

Bose SoundTouch 30

Bose has one of the best known names in the speaker world, but its early efforts in the wireless space didn't win over a lot of fans. The SoundTouch 30, which runs $500, changed that, though. It has a larger footprint than most wireless speakers, but it offers the characteristic warm sound for which Bose is known. It offers users the choice of streaming from their phone or tablet via Bluetooth or can hook directly into the home Wi-Fi system. It's also one of the few wireless home audio systems with a remote control—and onboard preset buttons let you instantly launch your favorite playlists, both local or via a streaming service. It's more a speaker for a dinner party than a blowout party, but it will still fill the room with sound. (Got a smaller place? Consider the $350 SoundTouch 20.)

天龍HEOS

天龍音響（Denon）在開發無線系統時，大量借鑒了Sonos的設計。HEOS系列由四個獨立的系統組成，分別為： 便攜式HEOS 1（售價199美元，外觀與Sonos幾乎相同）；299美元的緊湊型HEOS 3；更高端的低音增強版HEOS 5，售價399美元；以及該系列中最高端的HEOS 7，售價599美元。所有系統均支持通過Wi-Fi或藍牙播放流媒體音樂，支持高解析度音頻，并且均配備一個3.5毫米端口，支持直接流媒體播放。當然，如你所料，價格越高，音質越好。HEOS 7擁有震撼的低音效果，對于音響發燒友來說或許有些過猶不及，但其他人肯定喜歡。此外，它還有一項額外的功能，支持通過U盤與家中的其他HEOS音箱共享音樂。

Denon HEOS

Denon took a lot of cues from Sonos when developing its wireless system. The HEOS line is made of four separate systems: the portable HEOS 1 (a $199 speaker which looks almost identical to Sonos); the $299 compact HEOS 3; the higher-end, bass-intense $399 HEOS 5; and the top of the line HEOS 7, which runs $599. All of the systems can stream via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth and support High Resolution Audio. And each also has a 3.5mm port for direct streaming. But as you might expect, the more you spend, the greater the sound quality. The HEOS 7 has a booming bass that might be too much for audiophiles, but others will love. It also has the added trick of being able to share a USB stick loaded with music with other HEOS speakers around the house.

三星Radiant360

第一眼很容易把Radiant360系列與亞馬遜的Echo混淆，因為兩者外觀都呈圓柱形。但在使用三星（Samsung）的這款音箱播放音樂之后，兩者的差異會立刻顯現出來。這款多房間音箱包括四種不同型號：R1售價160美元，R3售價200美元，R5售價300美元，R7售價380美元。R1、R3和R5呈桶狀，頂部為喇叭狀，而R7則呈卵型。不過每一個型號均可以全方位傳播聲音，且體積不會過大。理論上，這意味著不論你站在音箱的哪個方向，都能聽到相同的音質。

所有音箱都支持高解析度音頻和Wi-Fi與藍牙流媒體播放，還可以與多房間系統配對。R7的音質最佳， R5緊隨其后。預計R1在高音播放時可能會有輕微的失真，但如果把它作為一款衛星音箱使用，這并不算什么問題。對于預算有限的人群來說，這依舊是一款非常可靠的獨立無線音箱。 （財富中文網）

Samsung Radiant360

It's pretty easy to confuse the Radiant360 line with Amazon's Echo at first glance due to their cylindrical shape. But once Samsung's line begins playing music, the differences become clear. There are four different types of multi-room speakers in the lineup: the $160 R1, the $200 R3, the $300 R5, and the $380 R7. The R1, R3 and R5 all are tube-like in appearance with a flared top, while the R7 is more egg-shaped. But all of them push sound out in every direction, and none has an especially large footprint. Theoretically, that means you get the same audio quality no matter where you're standing in relation to the speaker.

All of the speakers support high resolution audio as well as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth streaming. And they can be paired together for a multi-room system. The R7 is the best in terms of sound quality, with the R5 close behind. Expect some slight distortion with the R1 at high volumes—though if that's used as a satellite speaker, that likely won't be a problem. And it's still a very solid standalone wireless speaker for people on a budget.
