Apple HomePod mini
Sonos Roam 2
Depending on your preferences, you may go for either the Apple HomePod mini or the Sonos Roam 2. If you're already in the Apple ecosystem, it makes sense to add on the HomePod since it supports Siri, and there's a built-in speakerphone option, which is great for taking calls. Both speakers support Apple AirPlay, though, and the HomePod is strictly a home speaker since it has to be wired to work. In contrast, the Sonos has the edge for portability. It's a Bluetooth speaker, and while its battery life isn't particularly long-lasting and doesn't get very loud, it's still a solid choice for use outdoors, especially as it's certified IP67 for resistance against dust and water.
