Want to listen to your music wherever you are in your home? There are a couple of solutions. You could have one, big speaker in one room and pump the volume as loud as you possibly can. That's a bad idea. Or, you could hang one of the best Bluetooth speakers from your belt, and wander around the house listening to tinny tunes. This is also a bad idea.

So what is a good idea? One of the best smart speakers is a start. You'll get better sound thanks to the Wi-Fi connection and generally higher quality audio internals. You'll also get voice control and other smart features, like simple audio streaming from your phone to the speakers. One of the most common manufacturers of smart speakers is Sonos — and they're very good.

But I don't use Sonos — or at least, not Sonos's whole home solution.
