We're already halfway into 2023 and the year has been absolutely packed with smart new speakers ranging from pocketable portables to all-singing, all dancing home entertainment audio tech. Whether you're looking for the ultimate smart speaker or something you can chuck in a bag on the way to the beach, there's more choice than ever before.
Some of the launches we've seen so far this year have been relatively minor updates to old favorites, such as Apple's spot-the-difference revamp of the HomePod speaker. Others are interesting takes from old names, such as the Orange Box. And of course there's been brand new speakers launched from firms better known for other audio products, such as headphone experts Skullcandy.
