Speaker systems - please help me

[DaphneDeloresMoorhead]

I would like to buy some form of wireless speakers where I can have music playing around the house. Ie if I'm in the kitchen listening to Blur, if I go upstairs to the bedroom its on a speaker up there too.
But I don't really know what I'm looking for or how much I might expect to pay for that. It will nominally be DH's Christmas present. He is very fussy about speakers so it needs to be good quality and I would like to spend no more than £500. If I can get something decent for less I would be thrilled.

Have a look at John Lewis. They sell a lot. Loads of them are compatible with Alexa or google so you can hear the same in each room as you wish.

My dad has one from Bose we just have portable Bluetooth speakers from Sony which need to be charged everyday and I don't think the latter are what you're after but I love them and carry one around with me all day around the house whilst another one charges. I have it connected to my iPhone most of the time

The new Google Nest speakers are good & you can link lights & other devices to them as well, they are about £89 each but you can buy bundles from Google.

If he's genuinely fussy about speakers, I think it's better to let him choose them…
