How do you choose a wireless speaker?
Choose a wireless speaker
Even though many speakers look alike from a distance, speakers differ greatly. It's good to think about the following beforehand:
- What are you going to use the speaker for?
- Do you mostly want to listen to music inside or outside?
- Want to connect the speaker to other speakers/
- Do you have a brand preference?
You want a speaker for on the go
A trip to the beach, a barbecue in the park, or a lunch on your balcony. These are situations that need music. If that's the case, choose a Bluetooth speaker. These speakers often have a rechargeable battery, are light, and splash or waterproof. This makes them ideal to take with you. Thanks to the Bluetooth connection, you don't need internet and can easily stream from your smartphone or tablet.
You want a speaker for at home
Do you want to play your favorite songs in the living room, kitchen, or even in the bathroom? Choose a WiFi speaker. You don't have to be afraid of the battery of the speaker running out, because you plug it into the socket. Prefer a multi-room or home cinema set? Connect multiple WiFi speakers to each other or connect them to your soundbar for a home cinema setup.
You can use it both inside and outside
In addition to either Bluetooth or WiFi speakers, there's also a middle ground. WiFi speakers that have both Bluetooth and a rechargeable battery. You can use these speakers at home with WiFi and outside with Bluetooth. That's ideal if you want to listen to music on your couch or balcony, but also on the go.
