Spotify has announced a new free app, giving users who don’t want to be locked into a monthly subscription more options to enjoy the service. But if you have a Spotify Premium account, you can make the most of audio products that have Spotify built in for added listening convenience.

And you’re not forced into shuffling songs, either. You have unlimited track ‘skips’ and can also select songs directly. The only caveat is that the songs must appear in the personalised playlists that Spotify creates for you, so you don’t have universal access to Spotify’s vast library of music.

Know about Best Buy Speakers

1. Apple HomePod

Apple HomePod is the best-sounding smart speaker around. While other companies focused on the smarts, Apple clearly decides to focus more on the audio part than the smart part. It has seven internal tweeters in its base and a four-inch woofer towards the top, as well as six microphones used for voice control and acoustic optimization.

The audio quality gets even better if you put two HomePods together as a stereo pair, which makes for a deeply immersive experience. Siri is not as advanced as Alexa in some ways but excels when it comes to music, especially if you have a subscription to Apple Music.

2. Sonos One

Sonos speakers are sensationally good. Although the One is tiny and, it has the great advantage that you can add to the system when inclination or budget allows. The One features two Class-D amplifiers, a subwoofer, a tweeter and six far-field microphones. When pairing two together, they are the audio equal of the Apple HomePod.

The Sonos One comes with Alexa support, but Google Assistant support is on the way at some point this year. With Alexa, you can use voice commands for both Spotify and Amazon Music, but the speaker itself is compatible with a whole host of music subscription services.

3. Amazon Echo

Amazon Echo is a hands-free speaker you control with your voice. Echo Connects to the Alexa voice Service to play music, ask questions, make calls, send and receive messages, provide information, news, sport scores, weather, and more --- instantly. All you have to do is ask.

Echo has an enhanced speaker that now features Dolby processing for improved immersive sound. It has seven microphones and beaming forming technology so it can hear you from across the room ---- even while music is playing. When you want to use Echo, just say the wake word 'Alexa' and Echo responds instantly.

4. Google Home Max

Spotify Bluetooth Speaker

Google Home Max is very strong on audio. It doesn't have the musical subtlety and detail of the HomePod, but it's a powerful, impressive speaker with plenty of bass and doesn't sound distorted even at high volumes. It's a great party speaker and is designed as a hi-fi replacement. Sometimes, especially with the music up reasonably loud, it takes a few times to make yourself heard with your next command. But unlike the HomePod, it has a wide range of radio stations you can tune into easily.

Amazon has an extensive fleet of Echo speakers. but none of them are built specifically for music. Google, on the other hand, has the Home Max. It's a Google Assistant smart speaker that is all about giving you the best music experience possible while on Google's turf.

5. Marshall Stanmore II Voice

Among hardcore audiophiles, the Marshall name carries significant weight. Its Stanmore II Voice smart speaker is a big deal, bringing Marshall's know-how into 2019. There are actually two versions, one for Alexa and one for Google Assistant. You're not going to be able to switch between the two systems on the same speaker, like you will be able to do with the Sonos One (eventually) - worth bearing in mind.
