Once again has the Swedish speaker designer Audio Pro managed to win the What Hi-Fi? Best Buy Award for their speaker C20 W. The category is ‘Best home wireless speaker 2026’. Last year the company was awarded Best Buy in the category then named ‘Best home wireless speaker over 300 £’, but now with one singular category, regardless of price point, the company has still managed to take home this price.

The C20 W was launched at the IFA event in Berlin in 2025, and has been a success story ever since. Nils Ankarcrona, CEO at Audio Pro, comments “We have had quite a prosperous year with this speaker. The C20 W has a combination of powerful sound with still rather small footprint and with features that seems to fit the customer base very well. The new app based on Linkplay technology has made these W-generation speakers into easy choices for the end users. I can surely understand why the C20 W performed this well in their test.”

What Hi-Fi’s verdict says “A versatile, Award-winning, wireless speaker with a wonderfully composed sonic character.” And in their earlier review of the C20 W speaker the publication states that “Audio Pro sharpens its Swiss Army Knife-esque wireless speaker”, referring to the predecessor C20. They continue this reflection to the previous generation by saying “…Audio Pro has elevated a great wireless speaker to new heights. In our book, ‘W’ might as well stand for ‘Winner’.”
