JBL has unveiled that it is bringing home networking smarts to the Charge 5 and Boombox 3 portable speakers by adding Wi-Fi connectivity.
As two of the company's most popular models, both are already compatible with Partyboost to synchronize multiple JBL speakers together over Bluetooth. But the new Charge 5 Wi-Fi and Boombox 3 Wi-Fi models will be able to support playback of up to 24-bit/96kHz hi-res music streams from streaming services such as Apple Music and Tidal over AirPlay, and Chromecast built-in. Alexa Multi-Room Music (MRM) will also boost listening options through Wi-Fi connectivity.
