Bluetooth Speakers

What is a Bluetooth speaker exactly?

You may have already encountered the very popular Bluetooth speakers today.

A Bluetooth speaker is a small portable and wireless speaker that can play music from various devices.

This type of speaker can be referred to in several different ways and has various names around, such as:

• Party speaker
• Wireless speaker
• Festival speaker
• Soundbox (a specific brand of Bluetooth speaker)
• Camping speaker

Overall, people often simply call a Bluetooth speaker what it is used for.

Campers often refer to them as wireless or camping speakers, while people using them for parties typically call them festival or party speakers.

No matter what you call these smart devices, they are still Bluetooth speakers in terms of their technology.

Bluetooth speakers have become popular for the straightforward reason that they are simply the smartest way to listen to music when you don't have a fixed power source or often move from place to place.

A Bluetooth speaker can easily fit in your bag, depending on size, and can play music from your smartphone, tablet, etc., no matter where you are.

Consider these 7 things before buying a Bluetooth Speaker

Before purchasing a Bluetooth speaker, it is important to research and consider what needs you have.

Here, we have gathered a range of features you should know, so you can be completely sure that the Bluetooth speaker you choose perfectly matches your preferences.

#1 - Choose your preferred type of Bluetooth Speaker

Bluetooth speakers come in a variety of different types, each having its own advantages and uses.

• Boombox. A Bluetooth speaker in Boombox design gives you a delightful feeling of nostalgia. It looks like a traditional, large, and full boombox and typically plays incredibly good sound with super bass. The perfect choice for you if you desire a traditional boombox look.
• Portable Bluetooth speaker. Most Bluetooth speakers are portable, but there are also variants that are permanently mounted to, for example, the wall, and are used for your stereo system. A portable Bluetooth speaker allows you to take it with you anywhere, freely playing music no matter where you are.
• Fixed Bluetooth speaker set for PC, TV, or radio. Unlike portable Bluetooth speakers, there are also fixed speaker sets that can play music from your device via Bluetooth. These speakers are often large and heavy, and not so easy to carry around, hence they usually remain in fixed spots in the home.
• Party Bluetooth speaker. A party Bluetooth speaker is perfect for parties, festivals, and generally just good fun with friends or family. You probably know the popular “soundbox” speakers; we have a long list of cheap alternatives right here on the website that you can freely take with you to the festival or use at home for the garden party.
• Soundbar. A soundbar is a Bluetooth device used to enhance the sound from your television. It is typically placed just below your television and can via Bluetooth play sound from your TV in much higher quality than normal.
• Bluetooth speaker for children. For the little ones, there are also special Bluetooth speakers that they can use. A Bluetooth speaker for children intentionally does not play as loudly as normal speakers to protect young ears. Moreover, they also come in many cool designs, e.g., from their favorite cartoons, etc.

It is not always enough to have just one type of Bluetooth speaker; many choose, for example, to have a regular Bluetooth speaker for indoor use, while they prefer one of the larger party speakers for outdoor parties and gatherings.

#2 - Bluetooth speaker with good sound quality - look for this

When you look at our many Bluetooth speakers here on the site, you will quickly notice that the price ranges are very different.

This is mainly due to the fundamental technology and quality in the individual speakers.

If you choose an expensive model, you usually get significantly better sound quality than cheap models.

One thing you should look for is “frequency response” in your speaker.

This is typically given in Hz, where it is essential to have as good a range as possible, preferably between 20-18,000 Hz minimum.

This specification ensures that your speaker has access to wide parts of the sound spectrum, giving you the most optimal sound quality.

In addition to this, you can also look for “dB,” the higher the dB, the louder your speaker can play your music.

Speakers vary significantly in their sound quality, and apart from these technological specifications, the actual design and materials used in development are also incredibly important.

If you are in doubt, you can check online reviews of the individual speakers to get a clear answer on how they perform.

#3 - Color and design of your Bluetooth Speaker

This point is not so crucial for the actual sound and sound quality in your speaker, but more about your personal preferences for the appearance of your speaker.

Here on the site, you will find a plethora of speakers in many different colors such as:

• Blue
• Bordeaux
• Antracite
• Green
• Gray
• White
• Orange
• Red
• Black
• Silver
• Wood
• And many more

Furthermore, the actual design is also important for many, especially regarding the shape of your speaker.

For example, you can get stylish Bluetooth speakers in tower design, which are perfect for the home, standing easily anywhere without taking up too much space.

#4 - Bluetooth speaker with light

If you are looking for a genuine party speaker with festive lights, you can also find this with some versions of Bluetooth speakers.

Lights in a Bluetooth speaker create a real disco atmosphere, which is perfect for achieving a festive mood.

You can see examples of this type of speaker right here on the site, where you will find both a Bluetooth speaker with disco ball design and others in the regular column design, but with light integration in various colors.

A Bluetooth speaker with lights can also be beneficial for outdoor life, where you may be sleeping in a tent and want some light while listening to music in the dark hours with your speaker.

#5 - Bluetooth speaker with radio

If you are a fan of specific radio broadcasts or channels, you can access just this with a Bluetooth speaker.

Some Bluetooth speakers have built-in radio signals, so you can always listen to the radio no matter where you are.

This allows you to switch between listening to music from your phone or tablet and to an integrated FM signal that can connect to various radio channels.

This provides a delightful mix of media and radio broadcasts you want to keep up with but may not always have a radio at hand.

As mentioned, Bluetooth speakers are incredibly easy to move around, allowing you to get a smart radio that you can always take with you, so the sound follows you, and you are not tied to your car or fixed radio at home.

#6 - Bluetooth speaker for outdoor use

As mentioned, a Bluetooth speaker can be used for both festivals, camping, and other outdoor activities.

Remember to check if your chosen speaker can withstand the elements of nature.

An easy way to ensure this is to check if it is made of proper material that is also waterproof to protect it from water in the circuit.

#7 - Waterproof Bluetooth speaker

Water resistance in a Bluetooth speaker is not only advantageous concerning outdoor use.

It also protects your speaker from all types of liquids, for example, if you or others accidentally spill water on it.

You can easily wipe it off without it getting damaged, as long as it is a waterproof device you have purchased.

If you choose a waterproof Bluetooth speaker, you can also use it on the beach holiday or in the shower, so you can listen to music even when it's pouring water around you.

Benefits of a Bluetooth speaker

If for some reason you are not completely convinced that a Bluetooth speaker could be for you, we will list some good benefits you get with such a smart device.

Even if you are not into parties and colors or camping trips, a Bluetooth speaker is still incredibly smart to have.

#1 - Music completely without cables

Today, most people have become very fond of wireless technology, and there is good reason for it!

With a Bluetooth speaker, you avoid pulling long cables to your speaker, which is incredibly advantageous.

This means, among other things, that you don't have to worry about damaged cables that degrade the sound quality, as it all works wirelessly.

The only time your speaker needs to be connected with a cable is when it has run out of power and needs recharging.

#2 - Easy charging

The included charging cable for most Bluetooth speakers can be used in all standard power outlets.

Additionally, some of these charging cables also come with USB connectors, allowing you to charge via, for example, a computer or through the same plug you charge your phone or tablet with.

You can freely use your speaker while it is charging if you still want to listen to music while it charges.

#3 - Listen to music wherever you like

Most would probably agree that one of the best things about a Bluetooth speaker is the freedom it provides.

Bluetooth speakers can be taken anywhere, giving you ample opportunity to listen to music wherever you find yourself.

The very small versions can fit in a small bag or handbag and can still surprisingly play loudly despite their size.

If you have one of the larger models, it probably won't fit in your bag, but they are often equipped with wheels or handles so that they can easily be carried wherever you need to use them.

#4 - Not just for music - audiobooks/movies can also be played!

Although most use Bluetooth speakers for music, this is certainly not the only form of media you can play on these smart devices.

You can also listen to your favorite audiobook in good quality on a Bluetooth speaker.

Additionally, you can connect, for example, your tablet or phone to the speaker and get sound from, for example, a movie, YouTube video, or other media if desired.

It can indeed be nice to listen to books and watch movies without having to wear a headset or earphones, as they can become uncomfortable over longer periods for the ears.

FAQ

What is a wireless speaker?

A wireless speaker is a portable and often relatively small speaker that can play music without being connected to a wire. This type of speaker is also known as a “Bluetooth speaker” or a “WiFi speaker.”

What is the difference between a wireless speaker and a Bluetooth speaker?

Bluetooth speakers and wireless speakers are often confused because they can actually be the same type of device. The difference between the two terms is primarily that a Bluetooth speaker exclusively uses Bluetooth to connect to external devices, while a wireless speaker can use Bluetooth, WiFi, or both, and is often referred to as a “Smart Home speaker.”

Which Bluetooth speaker can play the loudest?

The way you can see how loud a given Bluetooth speaker can play is by keeping an eye on the “dB” number and how strong the bass is. dB stands for decibels and is a way to measure how loud the sound from various devices is. There is ongoing development in Bluetooth speakers, so the one with the loudest sound can quickly be surpassed by other models.

How does a WiFi speaker work?

A WiFi speaker is often also referred to as a “smart home” speaker and is a slightly more advanced form of speaker than normal Bluetooth speakers. This type of speaker uses WiFi to play countless media and even read content to you or talk with your iPhone and other devices in the home. Examples of this type of speaker include Amazon Alexa and Google Home.
