That’s important when your boss pings you for an impromptu Zoom call and you want to mute the music without taking the time to dive into a smartphone menu. The SoundLink Revolve II features large and intuitive controls that are easily accessible on top of the speaker. More important, the Revolve II is only 3 inches in diameter, rendering it unobtrusive enough to blend in with most workspaces, home office or otherwise. It comes in two colors and will look right at home in most offices.

The roundup below-a collection of both wireless Bluetooth and smart speakers-includes stylish, good-sounding models that perform well in CR’s labs. “Many of today’s best wireless and smart speakers work well in an office or home office environment because they offer impressive sound in a small and simple package,” says Nish Suvarnakar, Consumer Reports’ analyst for the home audio market. And because you’ll be staring at it all day, every day, it should be attractive, or at least unobtrusive. In many instances, the speaker will end up sitting on your desk, where real estate is precious, so consider a model that’s small. Instead, you want to look for a model that sounds appealing when played quietly and from close range.Īnd last, styling matters. This means your desktop speaker probably doesn’t need to produce a lot of volume. On the other hand, while speakers designed for home use might need to fill a large family room or even a spacious patio, most offices are more modest in size. A grating, annoying midrange-the tones where you hear vocals and most instruments-might not be a deal breaker in a portable speaker that you take to the beach, but if you’re listening for hours at a stretch every day, any sonic flaw will annoy you. The most important requirement for a work speaker is that it sound good. If all of that sounds good-or you simply want to listen to Meryl Streep’s cover of “The Winner Takes It All” while crafting your PowerPoint pitch-a good speaker can be a solid investment for your workspace. Research studies suggest that listening to tunes while you work can brighten your mood while boosting your productivity and creativity. Whether you’re working from home or traveling to the office, try adding music to your workday.
