Boom! That's the sound of our best portable speakers guide getting a big upheaval. JBL has just announced two new speakers with a feature normally reserved for only the priciest of the best wireless speakers: streaming over Wi-Fi. Both the JBL Boombox 3 Wi-Fi and the JBL Charge 5 Wi-Fi speakers will enable you to stream audio in the kind of quality that even the best Bluetooth speakers can only dream of.
The biggest benefit of Wi-Fi is that it has much more bandwidth, so your audio doesn't need to be so compressed: there's support for up to 24-bit/96KHz playback. But it also offers better range, which is useful for moving your speaker around indoors and out. And because the Wi-Fi version is Wi-Fi 6 these speakers should last you for years.
