Speakers Bluetooth has gained great popularity. They are purchased more often than any other home audio equipment. And not only for home – they can improve any trip or outdoor meeting with friends. However, when it comes to purchasing, the choice may be more difficult than it seems. Let's check what really matters when buying.
Sound quality – not just volume
Just because a speaker sounds loud doesn't mean it sounds good. If you want clear vocals and deep bass, check if the speaker offers bass, treble and bass boost functions. Loudspeakers equipped with aptX or AAC codecs offer better sound quality while minimizing delays.
So what should you pay attention to? If you want deep bass and clear highs, look for one loudspeaker with a minimum power of 20 W and features that improve sound quality. It is also worth checking whether the speaker offers stereo sound.
Battery life
A speaker that discharges after a few hours is a small problem at home, but a big problem when traveling. For those using the speaker outdoors, the minimum is 8-10 hours, but it's best to aim for around 20. An additional advantage will be the powerbank optioni.e. the ability to charge the phone using the loudspeaker.
Resistance to external conditions
Not every speaker will work in all conditions. If you intend to take it outdoors, to the water or to the beach, choose a water-resistant model dust. Markings such as IPX7 or IP68 they prove waterproof. Models with an anti-slip coating and a durable housing may also be more resistant to falls.
Connectivity and compatibility – more than Bluetooth
The vast majority of speakers connect via Bluetooth, but not all of them offer the latest standards, i.e Bluetooth 5.0 and abovewhich provides a more stable connection and greater range. It is also worth paying attention to the Multipoint function, which allows you to connect to several devices at the same time.
Additional functions – comfort and possibilities
Some speakers have additional functions, such as the ability to answer calls or access to a dedicated speaker application mobile, which gives you more control over the sound. For listeners radio there are models with FM. These are small things, but often very practical. And models equipped with a microphone can play a role hands-free kit, and some allow you to answer calls directly through the speaker. A memory card slot may also be useful.
Operation and mobile applications – full control
It is also worth paying attention to dedicated mobile applications. Thanks to them, we can control the sound and settings, i.e. adjust the sound correction, pair the speaker with other devices or combine several speakers into a stereo set. Buttons to control music playback can also be very useful.
