When it’s a speaker from Bose, you better know about the sound quality it delivers. With an eight microphone array, it easily picks up your voice from a minimum distance by using Google Assistant or Alexa, which ever you’re using on the speaker. Not just assistants, but it’s also compatible with Apple AirPlay 2 to that you can stream everything wirelessly. Besides this, the integrated Wi-Fi services like Spotify Connect always keeps you on your toes with some grooving music. And you can change the voice tracks just with a voice input through the assistant. Moreover, you can control the Bose Home Speaker 500 by using the top controls and the Bose Music App as well.

2. Harman Kardon
The rechargeable battery can play music up to 8 hours which is sufficient for a routine use. Of course, you can use it when you’re camping or trekking for longer hours. The best part is, it works with Siri and Google Now just with a single press of a button from the speaker. To connect Google Now or Siri with the speaker, you can configure the same by using the HK Connect App. On top of all, the fabric finishing on the speaker got my attention right away! It’s available in blue, black and white colors.
3. RIVA Festival Speaker
RIVA isn’t that popular in terms of branding but it’s sure to win hearts with the quality of sound and other functionalities of the Festival Speaker. It’s a bit costly if we compare it with other speakers but it has equally got more set of features which other speakers fail to offer. The built-in Chromecast is what we haven’t seen in any of the speakers till date. It also works with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Spotify Connect, DLNA, AirPlay and most importantly, Google Assistant as well. To set up voice assistant with this speaker, you need to either download Google Assistant app or a Google Assistant device. Once you get it, the set up process is simple to get started. That was about the features but when it comes to sound quality, it’s far beyond your imagination. Crystal clear sound with Trillium audio technology is a perfect recipe to enjoy with your friends in a large room as well. It’s available in black and white color variants.
4. Bose SoundLink Speaker II
Bose SoundLink Speaker II has certainly won many hearts and the 3600+ positive reviews (that’s HUGE!) says the rest. With bold sound and water resistivity features, you can enjoy the music even when your speaker is around the swimming pool. Of course, you cannot take it inside the pool, it’s water resistant but not waterproof. The tough silicone exterior makes it looks like a real boss along with a soft touch. It can easily connect to your smartphone or laptop which has Bluetooth support. You can even pair it with NFC devices too and that’s something which isn’t available in most of the speakers. And last but not least, the built-in mic of speakerphone can be used to connect voice assistants like Siri or Google Now. Ensure that your mobile is within the range of the speaker, else, it might not work as you want it to. It’s available in Aquatic Blue, Coral Red, Polar White, Soft Black and Yellow Citrus color variants.

6. iHome Color Changing Speaker
