Three kinds of speaker share this shelf
Portable Bluetooth speakers, smart speakers and soundbars are counted together here, and they sit at different levels. Portable speakers run on a battery and fill the lower half of the shelf; smart speakers answer to Alexa or Google Assistant; soundbars sit under a TV and reach the top of it.
The brand tells you the kind
Each maker leans to one kind, so the brand table doubles as a guide to the three. JBL and Marshall list mostly portable speakers; Sonos and Samsung mostly soundbars and home speakers; Bose and Sony sell both, which is why their spread is wide.
