Welcome to the Apple Community.

So far as I know, the Apple TV is the only device that accepts video airplay, however there are several 3rd party speaker solutions that support audio only.

One does not "get" AirPlay. AirPlay is a feature of iOS and OSX.
AirPlay requires the hardware to support it.
