Leading Wi-Fi Multi-Room Speakers of 2025: Premium Picks for Home Audio Systems
In the realm of wireless speakers, 2025 has seen a remarkable array of options that cater to various needs and preferences. From high-end audiophile systems to compact multi-room solutions, the market is brimming with choices. Here, we delve into some of the standout speakers that offer dual support for AirPlay 2 and Google Cast, ensuring compatibility across Apple, Google, and other smart ecosystems.
The Cream of the Crop
Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Pro
The Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Pro, a two-time winner of our website's Best Wireless Speaker award (in 2022 and 2025), is hailed as the best large-scale wireless speaker. It boasts a hi-res DAC (24-bit/192kHz) feeding 240W of class D amplification. The Zeppelin Pro uses the same technology as B&W's range-topping 800 Series speakers for its twin double-dome tweeters, 150mm subwoofer, and twin 90mm mid-range drivers. Given a good quality audio source, the Zeppelin Pro sounds fantastic - incredibly detailed and involving, with a hugely expansive sound that can fill large spaces.
Naim Mu-so Qb (2nd generation)
The Naim Mu-so Qb (2nd generation) is the best speaker for those who want uncompromising audio quality but don't have space for big stereo systems or wireless units that take over a whole sideboard. This high-end hi-fi system squeezed by mad scientists into a cube that could fit into the living room of a pokey flat... but that has the sound quality to fill a ballroom if needed.
Sonos Era 300
The Sonos Era 300 is the best wireless speaker for most people, according to expert reviews. It delivers impressive immersive sound that's beyond the Sonos Five. The Era 300 features a voice assistant that can be turned off and has a USB-C port and a 3.5mm jack.
Apple HomePod 2023
The Apple HomePod 2023 is the best wireless speaker for Apple users. It's a great hub for smart activities like Siri and Apple Home setup. The HomePod only works via AirPlay, making it a niche option for full Apple converts.

This audiophile-grade multi-room system supports AirPlay 2 and Google Cast among other formats like MQA high-res streaming. It features a modular design (e.g., PULSE SOUNDBAR+, PULSE SUB+, PULSE FLEX 2i satellites) powered by dual-band Wi-Fi and supports multi-room audio expansion with excellent sound quality.
