With spring round the corner, you're likely thinking about how you can give your home a bit of a refresh. But while a lick of paint and reed diffusers can go a long way to making your place look and smell like new, there's one sense people often neglect. So don't forget to give your home's sound system a metaphorical spit-shine this year.

Don't know where to start? Well, luckily for you, I've spent many years testing wireless speakers, meaning I've got hands-on experience with some of the best options on the market. That's why I've assembled this guide to all of my personal faves to help you pick the perfect new speaker for your place.

My top wireless speaker President's Day sale picks

Sonos Roam 2

Very few speakers I've tested occupy quite the same niche as the Sonos Roam 2. Yes, it has IP67 weatherproofing and a rugged build but it's also crammed with smart wireless speaker features. Not only does it have Wi-Fi connectivity but also multi-room connectivity and Automatic Trueplay room calibration. $12 is a modest discount, but this multi-talented speaker is well worth picking up all the same.

If you've read any of my recent wireless speaker comparisons with the Sonos Era 100, you'll know one area that it dominates all opposition is in its bass output. But it's not all brawn: its room-correction smarts show considerable brains to boot. Pretty good, given it currently has $40 off at Best Buy.

Bose Portable Smart Speaker

Often Bose gets attention for its sound-nixing headphones, but I've always loved its portable smart speaker. Not only did I come away from my testing impressed with its bold, 360-degree sound but who could resist that handy, lantern-style handle? With $50 off right now, I certainly can't.

As the first Spatial Audio wireless speaker I ever tried out, there's still something frankly magical about the Era 300 to me. On top of its convincing spatialized sound, it has a beautifully wide soundstage and detailed, well-balanced sound. With this $100 off, it's honestly well worth it.

Bang & Olufsen Beolit 20
Bang & Olufsen Beolit 20: was $749 now $636.65 at Amazon

While it may look like Darth Vader's picnic basket, the Beolit 20 is the wireless speaker I most dream of owning myself. Why? Well, not only is it stylishly put together, it offers some of the most powerful yet precise sound you'll get out of a portable speaker. The only hitch for me has been that price – but this discount of over $110 makes it much easier to swallow.
