5 Best Smart Speakers (2026): Alexa, Google Assistant, Siri

2026年五款最佳智能音箱：Alexa、Google Assistant、Siri

There are three big players when it comes to finding the best smart speaker: Amazon, Google, and Apple’s voice assistant-powered devices. But each system has its own benefits and limitations, and finding the right smart speaker for you requires considering several factors. 在寻找最佳智能音箱时，有三位主要参与者：亚马逊、谷歌和苹果的语音助手设备。但每个系统都有其自身的优势和局限性，找到适合你的智能音箱需要考虑多个因素。

You likely already have a favorite ecosystem. Maybe it’s the one that works with your phone, as an Apple or Android user, or maybe it’s Amazon’s Alexa, in the event you already own one of the dozens of speakers the company has launched in the 12 years since the first Amazon Echo speaker arrived in 2014. Amazon’s ecosystem, in particular, is vast, often seeing multiple new models every year, while the options get much narrower between Google and Apple. Google’s new smart speaker is due out sometime soon, but there’s still no timeline on when that will be. 你可能已经有了心仪的生态系统。作为苹果或安卓用户，这可能是与你手机兼容的系统；或者，如果你在 2014 年首款 Amazon Echo 音箱问世后的 12 年里，已经购买了亚马逊推出的数十款音箱中的任意一款，那么它可能就是亚马逊的 Alexa。亚马逊的生态系统尤其庞大，通常每年都会推出多款新机型，而谷歌和苹果的选择则要少得多。谷歌的新款智能音箱预计很快就会发布，但目前还没有具体的时间表。

Below you will find the best smart speakers for each ecosystem, which I’ve found after trying nearly every single smart speaker that’s come out in the last decade. You can also check out my guides to the Best Alexa Speakers, Best Google Speakers, and Best Smart Displays if you want more insight into each category. 在下文中，你将找到每个生态系统的最佳智能音箱。这些推荐是我在尝试了过去十年中几乎每一款上市的智能音箱后总结出来的。如果你想深入了解每个类别，还可以查看我的《最佳 Alexa 音箱》、《最佳谷歌音箱》和《最佳智能显示屏》指南。

Updated June 2026: I reorganized this entire guide, reordering the picks and updating details about Google’s speaker offerings. I also ensured up-to-date links and prices. 2026 年 6 月更新：我重新整理了整篇指南，调整了推荐顺序，并更新了关于谷歌音箱产品的详细信息。我还确保了链接和价格的实时性。

Best Smart Speaker for Alexa Users (and Overall) / Alexa 用户最佳智能音箱（及综合最佳）

Amazon Echo Dot Max

WIRED (优点):

Impressive, room-filling sound, especially for its small size. 音质令人印象深刻，足以充满整个房间，尤其是考虑到它的小巧体积。
Compatible with Alexa and Alexa+, and good at hearing requests, even with loud music playing. 兼容 Alexa 和 Alexa+，即使在播放大声音乐时也能很好地识别语音指令。
Has a built-in smart home hub. 内置智能家居中枢。

TIRED (缺点):

Expensive for such a small speaker. 对于这样一个小音箱来说价格偏高。

Most of the smart speakers I spot in friends’ homes come from the Amazon Echo line. Options are aplenty, and many that I see are older models, like the puck-shaped Echo Dot. Such dated speakers are still fairly well-supported, though not all of them can gain access to Alexa+, Amazon’s newer AI-powered voice assistant. Even if your smart speaker can use Alexa+, it’s only worth the upgrade if you have Amazon Prime. Without a Prime subscription, you’d have to pay $20 a month for Alexa+ on its own. It’s literally cheaper to get Amazon Prime ($15 a month for most plans), which comes with a wider range of benefits, which is likely intentional. 我在朋友家中看到的智能音箱大多来自 Amazon Echo 系列。选择非常多，我看到的许多都是较旧的型号，比如圆盘状的 Echo Dot。这些老旧的音箱目前仍得到相当好的支持，尽管并非所有型号都能使用亚马逊较新的 AI 语音助手 Alexa+。即使你的智能音箱可以使用 Alexa+，也只有在你拥有 Amazon Prime 会员时才值得升级。如果没有 Prime 会员，你每月需要额外支付 20 美元来使用 Alexa+。实际上，订阅 Amazon Prime（大多数计划每月 15 美元）反而更便宜，而且还能享受更广泛的福利，这很可能是亚马逊有意为之。

The Echo Dot Max is one of Amazon’s newest models. It launched in late 2025, taking the small form from past Dot models and upgrading it with impressive sound, a built-in smart home hub, and a slightly different look. Its sound quality is fantastic and impressively loud without getting muddled, especially considering its small size. I tested it against the latest Echo Studio last year and found the speakers were more similar in quality than I expected. It’s not as cheap as older Dot models, but you can still find the affordable Echo Dot (5th Gen) available for half the price if you don’t need super-impressive sound. Echo Dot Max 是亚马逊最新的机型之一。它于 2025 年底推出，沿用了过去 Dot 系列的小巧外形，并升级了令人印象深刻的音质、内置智能家居中枢以及略有不同的外观。它的音质非常棒，音量大且不浑浊，考虑到它的小巧体积，表现令人惊叹。去年我将其与最新的 Echo Studio 进行了对比测试，发现两者的音质比我预期的要接近得多。它虽然不像旧款 Dot 那样便宜，但如果你不需要极致的音质，仍然可以以半价买到实惠的 Echo Dot（第五代）。

If I only had to pick one smart speaker right now to buy, it would be this one. Of all the offerings between Amazon and its competitors, Alexa’s great compatibility and voice controls rise above the others. Ultimately, this speaker is compact without cutting back on sound quality or losing out on a smart-home hub. 如果现在我只能选择购买一款智能音箱，那一定是这一款。在亚马逊及其竞争对手的所有产品中，Alexa 出色的兼容性和语音控制能力胜过其他产品。归根结底，这款音箱在保持小巧的同时，既没有牺牲音质，也没有缺失智能家居中枢功能。

Best Smart Speaker for Google Users (For Now) / 谷歌用户最佳智能音箱（目前）

Google Nest Audio

WIRED (优点):

Great sound and plenty of bass for the price and size. 以其价格和尺寸而言，音质出色且低音充足。
Google Assistant is handy and responsive. Google Assistant 实用且响应迅速。
Can sync with another Nest speaker for a stereo pair. 可以与另一台 Nest 音箱同步组成立体声对。

TIRED (缺点):

No 3.5-mm output to connect to bigger stereos. 没有 3.5 毫米输出接口来连接更大的音响系统。

The Nest Audio is the best Google speaker available for now—but that’s about to change. Google has already stopped selling both the Nest Audio and smaller Nest Mini smart speakers as the company gears up for its new speaker to arrive (any day now, as it is expected in spring 2026). It’ll be called the Google Home Speaker (yes, that’s the same name as Google’s original smart speaker from 2016), and it’ll retail for the same price as the Nest Audio, $100. In form, though, the Google Home Speaker will bear more similarity to the Mini speaker, appearing much like a cross between a HomePod Mini (below) and an Echo Dot (above), with a taller, rounded form that past Google speaker models lacked. Nest Audio 是目前市面上最好的谷歌音箱——但这种情况即将改变。谷歌已经停止销售 Nest Audio 和较小的 Nest Mini 智能音箱，因为该公司正准备推出新款音箱（预计 2026 年春季随时发布）。它将被命名为 Google Home Speaker（是的，这与谷歌 2016 年最初的智能音箱同名），零售价将与 Nest Audio 相同，为 100 美元。不过在外观上，Google Home Speaker 将更像 Mini 音箱，看起来像是 HomePod Mini（见下文）和 Echo Dot（见上文）的结合体，具有过去谷歌音箱型号所缺乏的更高、更圆润的外形。

For now, though, you can still buy the very solid Nest Audio from several retailers. It offers good sound quality, the ability to pair with another Nest Audio as a stereo (but won’t connect to bigger stereos), and is compatible with tons of music platforms. The Nest Audio is also compatible with Google’s new voice assistant, Gemini for Home. With a subscription, you can also access the more powerful Gemini Live assistant, which allows back-and-forth conversation with an AI chatbot through the smart speaker. That subscription comes with other benefits, like camera storage, which is useful for people who use Nest security cameras in their home. 不过目前，你仍然可以从多家零售商处买到性能非常稳健的 Nest Audio。它音质良好，能够与另一台 Nest Audio 配对组成立体声（但无法连接到更大的音响系统），并兼容大量的音乐平台。Nest Audio 还兼容谷歌的新语音助手 Gemini for Home。通过订阅，你还可以使用功能更强大的 Gemini Live 助手，它允许通过智能音箱与 AI 聊天机器人进行双向对话。该订阅还附带其他福利，例如摄像头云存储，这对在家中使用 Nest 安全摄像头的人来说非常有用。
