I started out covering tech policy in Washington, D.C. for The National Journal's Technology Daily, where my beat included state-level tech news and all the congressional hearings and FCC meetings I could handle. After a move to New York City, I covered Wall Street trading tech at Incisive Media before switching gears to consumer tech and PCMag. I now lead PCMag's news coverage and manage our how-to content.
Whether you're blasting your favorite jams on the patio or having a solo dance party inside, a top-notch speaker makes all the difference.

Some will even withstand poolside splashes.

JBL's portable Charge 5 speaker delivers surprisingly powerful Bluetooth audio from a compact, waterproof frame, making it the ideal travel companion for going just about anywhere. If you’re looking for a sub-$200 speaker that can get wet and deliver hours of portable audio with a good sense of bass depth, the JBL Charge 5 earns our Editors' Choice award.
The Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin is a splurge, but it was $799 when it debuted, so you can now save up to $200 on this speaker, which delivers wonderful, high-fidelity wireless audio from a strikingly designed enclosure, with built-in support for Amazon's Alexa voice assistant. There's support for 24-bit streaming via Apple AirPlay 2, Bluetooth, and Spotify Connect, as well as other streaming services. It's the best-looking and best-sounding all-in-one wireless speaker we’ve tested, earning it our Editors' Choice award.
For something more budget-friendly, the 4th-gen Amazon Echo smart speaker offers better audio performance than ever, the ability to control Zigbee devices, and, of course, Alexa voice assistance. That's more than you'll get from any other smart speaker at this price, easily earning the Echo our Editors' Choice award.
