The Speaker Active Matching (SAM) technology is what sets this combo speaker-charger ahead of the rest. This acoustic technology developed by Devialet provides high-fidelity sound and impressive bass for the size. To produce the Hi-Fi audio, the SoundForm Elite is outfitted with two 70mm woofers and a 35mm full-range driver powered by a 30-watt amplifier.

Conclusion
The Anker Soundcore Wakey is perfect for the nightstand or office. With the perfect mix of Anker’s premium audio and efficient wireless fast-charging technology, your phone and music are in good hands.
As an office companion, the Soundcore Wakey’s minimalist design blends into most decors. Play your favorite station, podcast, or playlist all day long, while keeping your phone topped off. The only thing it doesn’t have is a built-in speaker for conference calls.
As a bedside alarm clock is where the Wakey shines. You get all the traditional benefits of a stand-alone alarm clock. On top of that, it features 2 USB ports for charging other devices and a white noise generator to reduce ambient noise, insomnia, and other sleeping issues.
It has a futuristic digital display with adjustable brightness and FM radio that can be controlled by the app. You can also choose from 10 different alarm sounds and the FM radio to save up to 15 unique alarm times. Add in the premium fabric finish, and you have one of the most luxurious alarm clocks known to man.
Why #2 Then?
Out of the few things I didn’t like about the Wakey, one thing caused it to drop out of the top spot. Being the audio junkie that I am, the 30W Belkin SoundForm Elite easily cleaned up the competition. Even though the Wakey only has 10W powering the 2 drivers, it’s sound quality is comparable to the impressive Soundcore 2. This is what makes it the ideal speaker/charger combo for personal usage on your nightstand, office desk, and more.

The i-box Podium is perfect for portable streaming. With 18-hours of listening time and wireless charging stand, it’s essential for streamers on-the-go. Even though it only has a 6-watt speaker system, the stereo sound is nice and clear.
i-box Rest
Best Integrated Furniture
KEY FEATURES
- 20W speaker system
- 360° sound projection
- 5W Qi-enabled wireless charging surface

The i-box Rest is our favorite piece of wireless-charger infused furniture. The 20-watt speaker system is one of the coolest parts though. With 2 side-facing full-range drivers and a down-facing woofer, this little table sounds great in most sizes of rooms.
The biggest issue is the wood and fabric finish. Since it’s a piece of furniture, it would be nice to have a few more choices of finishes. On the other hand, you could paint the wood sections if you wanted to get your DIY on.
