2022 Rewind: Best speakers of the year

Back in the day, music fanatics used to walk around with a boombox over their shoulders blasting music at full volume. Now, the Gen-Z equivalent of the same is walking around with palm size speakers hooked to the belt loops of people while on treks or casual outings. The point here is that speakers have been an integral part of our culture and existence. Speakers as we know them are as important as the music itself. From way back then in 1876 to the world now in 2022, we owe a big chunk of our entertainment to speakers. 

So, as the eventful 2022 comes to a close, we wanted to have a look at the best speakers this year. Some speakers on this list range from big blocks of pure audio heaven to pocketable sound nirvana! Check out the best speakers of 2022 below – 

Sonodyne Malhar

This wooden speaker is undoubtedly a work of art. Malhar by Sonodyne is a hand-crafted 180W wireless speaker that comes with a Class D high-power amplifier for great clarity and loudness. The company claims that this speaker is its most powerful wireless speaker to this date and we cannot disagree with that claim. The best part about this speaker is that it has a host of connections ranging from USB audio to optical, analogue, and Bluetooth which gives it additional accessibility. It comes with two woofers, two tweeters, and two passive radiators for optimum performance. The Sonodyne Malhar is priced at Rs 37,500.
