Best 2026 Speakers for Audio format support

#1

Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, Eclipsa Audio, and common music formats are broadly supported and decoded cleanly.

#2

Support for 24-bit/48kHz lossless playback over USB-C is a standout capability at this size and price. Reviewers hear modest improvements in clarity and detail when using wired playback.

#3

Wi-Fi playback gives the Play access to higher-quality streaming than basic Bluetooth, which one reviewer highlights as an important advantage.

#4

USB-C hi-res/lossless format support is praised as an ultrapure or hi-res playback option.

#5

Hi-res wired processing and LDAC playback preserve more detail than basic Bluetooth, with a clearly audible benefit on compatible high-resolution material.

#6

Hi-res and format support are major strengths, including 24-bit/192kHz playback and USB or HEOS options. The main caveat is that some advanced Bluetooth codecs are missing or difficult to use...

#7

TV pairing is promoted with spatial audio and, in some coverage, Dolby Atmos. Other reviewers warn that Google has not clearly documented Atmos rendering through the speaker pair.

#8

Dolby Atmos support is excellent, but DTS and DTS:X are consistently absent. Disc collectors and all-LG setups may need their TV or player to decode DTS first.
