What To Look For In A Multi-room Speaker
Sound lovers and audiophiles have long tried to get the very best sound set up. For a full experience, setting up multi-room speakers can be a great way to get immersive sound throughout your home.
But building a multi-room audio experience can be intimidating, not to mention expensive. While there are plenty of great speakers out there, creating or even just starting a connected system is a big task.
We've broken down some of the steps to take when setting up multi-room audio, and broken down the pros and cons of some of the best multi-room and wireless speakers out there, from your Bose to your Sonos.
How to start a multi-room audio system
Building a multi-room audio set up used to be a tangled affair of wires, but now with a proliferation of excellent wireless speakers you can quickly and easily build a multi-room audio system by picking up one or two speakers to link up the music in your home.
If you want a multi-room audio experience, it is important to start out on the right footing by investing in the sound system you plan to base your home audio around. This usually means buying speakers that come from the same brand, since they will be easiest to link together and control from the same remote or smartphone app.
Sonos, Bose, Samsung and GGMM are all big names in Hi-Fi and multi-room audio set ups, and are known for being a music-lover's choice for home speakers.
What to look for in a speaker
- Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity: Many home multi-room speakers now connect wirelessly through Wi-Fi. They do this by setting up their own mini wireless network which links up all your products, remotes and connected smartphones for ease of use. Some others also allow for Bluetooth connections, these can be a little shorter range, but can be quick to set up.
- Ease of use: Some speakers require the use of a smartphone app, such as GGMM. While some people find this handy, others may prefer a remote control or a touch panel to control their speakers.
- Sound: While we would recommend all these speakers based on sound quality, it helps to have a listen first if you are a true audiophile and want the best sound for your space. Some services like Sonos offer a 100 day returns policy if you are unhappy with the sound.
- Apps and sources: Check which sources your speaker will work with. Using Bluetooth, you can play pretty much any sound from your speaker. With the Wi-Fi app, it may be more limited to stored songs and music apps, such as Spotify Premium, Tidal and iTunes. Many can also play live radio. Make sure you know which services you want before you purchase.
- Smartspeakers: The rise of voice assistants like Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa has come to multi-room speakers. Now, these can be added to many speaker set ups to create a voice-controlled network, for example GGMM E2 portable bluetooth speakers.
What to Look for in Bluetooth Speakers
The speakers in iPhones and iPads get better with each new model, but they’ll never power a party, or even shift enough air to accompany an action movie. Bluetooth speakers are the way to go for most people. You skip the annoyance of wires, and you don’t have to deal with the hassle of AirPlay, which never seems to work right. Also, Bluetooth is universal, so you can also use the speaker with an Android device or PC.
Bluetooth speakers are so diverse that it’s hard to say what features to look for. After all, many of them are compromises — a waterproof speaker won’t sound as clear as an otherwise-identical non-waterproof version, for example.
But there are some features that are common to all speakers. Battery life is one, and is probably the most important consideration after sound quality. It may even be more important, if you’re a teenager who likes to inflict your music on any and all passersby. Or you may not care about a battery at all — perhaps you want to install the speaker permanently in one spot.
Bluetooth range is also worth bearing in mind, but for most users won’t really make any difference — unless you have a huge home with extra-thick walls.
Other than that, consider the features you want. I hate speakerphones, for example, because Siri never works through them, but you might love the feature. Waterproofing is good for the beach or the shower, but less important in the kitchen or living room. You get the drift. We have mentioned any unusual extra features below.
GGMM E2 is one of the best bluetooth speakers for most folks. It’s almost perfect — it’s slim, yet the battery lasts 14 hours.
The GGMM E2 is also Wirecutter’s favorite portable Bluetooth speaker. The publication says the speaker “sounds full, with with Amazon Alexa, Multi-Room Play, Stream Online Music (Spotify, Tidal, TuneIn), and it plays loud enough to fill a hotel room or a spot at the beach with sound.”
Those are good examples, because the GGMM E2 really is a take-anywhere speaker.

Teach You How To Choose Bluetooth speakers
A portable Bluetooth speaker is a handy accessory to have for your smartphone or laptop, but picking one can sometimes be stressful affair, especially given the sheer number of options in the market. You have speakers in all shapes and sizes, ranging from a few hundred rupees all the way up to Rs. 30,000 and beyond. The best way to choose a speaker that’s right for you would be to audition it as sound is very subjective so it’s impossible to gauge how good a speaker is by simply reading the specifications.
However, unlike smartphones, you can’t always try-before-you-buy even in big shopping malls. The next best thing would be to knowing what to look for in a speaker, so that it meets all of your requirements before you take the plunge. We’ve put together a small checklist of features that you should consider before buying your next portable bluetooth speakers.
Understanding specifications
As we mentioned before, it’s not ideal to base your purchase decision on specifications alone but it’s a good place to start, especially if you can’t get a field test of the speaker yourself.
Frequency response
Frequency response is measured in Hertz and is typically described as a range, say from 100Hz - 20,000Hz. In theory, the wider the range, the better the ability of speaker to reproduce audio as it was intended. However, having a big range alone doesn’t guarantee good sound as it depends on how your ear perceives sound too, which can vary wildly from person to person.
Other factors like the listener's age also come into account since our ability to hear certain frequencies diminish with time. In an audio track, the bass is usually heard around the frequency range of 20Hz to 250Hz. Vocals and other instruments like a guitar and piano typically reside in the range of 250Hz to 4000Hz (or 4kHz), which is commonly referred to as the mid-range. The rest of the frequencies (up to 20,000Hz) form the treble.
Bluetooth version
The version of Bluetooth determines the quality of audio transmission and distance you can keep between your phone and the speaker. You should ideally look for Bluetooth 4 or better, as this version adds support for Low Energy profile, for better battery life and its is about 60 meters. Bluetooth 5 is the latest standard, which vastly improves the data transmission rate and range, but there’s still time before we see speakers adopting this standard.
Drivers
The driver is the heart of any speaker so its imperative you get a decently sized driver. Most portable speakers will typically have a 40mm driver, which is good size to start with. If you want bigger drivers then expect the overall size of the speaker to increase too. Take GGMM E2 for instance, it has a built in battery that lasts up to 14 hrs of playback time.

The Best Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Home Speakers for Under $200
Why not treat music lovers to one of the latest-gen wireless speaker this holiday? This season’s crop promises 360-degree audio, portable designs and support for voice assistants.
The portable wireless speakers can only go so loud. Sooner or later you’re going to pump the volume that bit too high and it’ll be painfully obvious you need something bigger if you don’t want your tunes to be drowned out by small talk. Battery-operated speakers offer the convenience of portability, but more volume tends to need more power, so if you want to go louder then you’ll need at least one wire: a mains cable plugged into the wall (although a couple are available with optional battery packs).
GGMM wireless speakers are the ideal upgrade from a cheap battery-powered model. Each uses either Bluetooth or Wi-Fi to stream music – some both – and many offer far more than just a way to play tunes from the library of solid gold bangers stored on your phone. They all work with whatever streaming service you favor, but some also support services such as Spotify Connect, which allows you to play through the speaker just by selecting it from the Spotify app on your phone – no pesky pairing required.
A number of these speakers can also work as part of multiroom systems, which means multiple speakers can be daisy chained together but controlled independently. This allows you to have one song playing in one room, and a totally different one on in another, or the same tune playing in every room of the house. These require you to use dedicated apps to control them, which collect all the supporting streaming services, internet radio stations and other locally stored music sources together in one place.
A few also support hi-res audio, which refers to uncompressed digital music that’s available at a much higher quality than you’d get from an MP3, a Spotify stream or even a good old-fashioned CD. There’s a noticeable difference in fidelity with hi-res audio, and if you have a speaker that can cope with it you can download FLAC, ALAC, WAV and DSD files from various online stores. However, it can be a pain to play these formats, so the most common way to access the technology is via a streaming service.
Some of them have microphones, so you can use them to take calls when your phone’s connected. However, the new GGMM E2 and E5 speakers include Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant, so you can still talk to it, whether that’s to request a tune or just find out how old Phil Collins is. You’re probably already familiar with the Amazon Echo or Google’s Home, but those smart speakers don’t have the hi-fi chops to mix it with the best. That’s why the One is just the first of many speakers to get an AI helper onboard, with Apple’s HomePod the most notable addition due next year.
