There have beena lotof portable speakers released over the years, many of which have impressed. But there’s being impressed and then there’s being blown away – which is exactly what we’re looking for when it comes to the T3 Awards 2022’s Best Portable Speaker winner.
Of the broad shortlist, the one that we keep returning to isBang & Olufsen’s Beosound A1 (2nd Gen). For a small speaker it’s so impressively accomplished in delivering sound far bigger than its small circular frame would suggest, including a decent dollop of bass.
That’s all delivered in a classic Bang & Olufsen finish, with superb materials and exquisite colour choices all available here, delivered in a manner that’s so casual it’s as if Bang & Olufsen does this in its sleep.
This is one truly amazing portable Bluetooth speaker that will last you for many years to come – and that’s why it’s hands down this year’s T3 Awards winner in this category.

Best Soundbar: Samsung HW-Q990B

Soundbars are primarily designed to boost your TV’s audio. But there are many stages to how accomplished and how vast that sound can be improved and projected around a room.
Plenty of the big brands have some mighty soundbar offerings available, but when we think of the true best-of-best, it’sSamsungthat rises to the top for delivering the most capable of the lost.
Sure, you’ll need to have a lot of cash, a lot of space, and an understanding that there are separate sub and rear speaker boxes included in this package, but when you get everything setup perfectly you’ll be so enveloped in sound that you’ll feel like you’re part of the action in any TV show or movie.
The Q990B is a truly special soundbar package, made all the better if you pair it with a Samsung Q Symphony telly, which can also integrate the panel’s speakers into the mix for even greater precision. It’s an incredible audio accomplishment.

Best Wireless Speaker: Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin

We’ve been treated to some fantastic speakers over the years and it’s the return of a classic that bags the Best Wireless Speaker gong. We are talking, of course, about the latestBowers & Wilkins Zeppelin.
It’s taken its sweet time to return to market, but the Zeppelin is finally back… and it’s better than ever. So long as you can find the space for a speaker of significant proportions, there’s very little downside to owning this Bowers & Wilkins.
Few speakers can deliver such an iconic design and such epic sound. Sure, don’t expect the same separated sound as you’ll get from a pair of stereo speakers, but that’s not the point of this modern marvel. It’s free of physical inputs, going hyper modern and truly wireless in its approach.
We embrace that stance, which is why the Zeppelin earns the T3 Awards' Best Wireless Speaker. It’s a classic reborn.

A great digital-to-audio converter (DAC) is a bridge from the traditional to the new, enabling you to pipe your digital music into analogue hi-fi components. So something to value here is flexibility – the more connectivity options and file support a DAC has, the more useful and future-proofed it is.
This year’s T3 Award winner, theChord Mojo 2picks up exactly where the original Mojo left off: as the best pound-for-pound upgrade to your desktop sound that you can buy. It’s a best-in-class product that’s a true diamond in audio terms.
If you’re interested in turning your computer (or your tablet, or smartphone) into a source of genuinely impressive-sounding music when paired with great headphones, well, don’t look any further. This DAC is perfect for pairing with hi-res/lossless tiers from streaming services, or for making the most of your own hi-res collection.
