What if you are asked to choose the best quality
Bluetooth speaker? Seems difficult, right?
Well, it is quite tedious, especially when there are so
many models available. Type Bluetooth speaker on Google and you will come
across thousands of options in various shapes and sizes, ranging from a few
hundreds to half a lakh.
You don't always get to try out a speaker before buying
it. The best way is to simply know what all you need in your speaker so that it
suits your requirement before you buy it.
If you have ever looked at Bluetooth speaker variants,
you may be aware of terms like frequency response, drivers, etc.
Does
the jargon scare you?
Well, you need not worry. The jargon and drawn up a
checklist of features that you should keep in mind before buying your portable
Bluetooth speaker.
Frequency
response
Measured in Hertz, it typically denotes the range, for
instance 100Hz to 25000Hz. The wider it is, the better the ability of the
device to reproduce sound as it was intended.
However, having a higher range solely doesn't guarantee
superior sound output as it depends on how your ears perceive sound, which
varies from person to person.
Drivers
This component is the heart and soul of any Bluetooth
speaker. Hence, it is highly essential to get a reasonably sized driver.
Usually, portable speakers come with a 30mm or 40mm
driver, which is good enough to begin with.
However, if you are a music enthusiast, it is recommended
you go for bigger drivers.
Bluetooth
The version of Bluetooth plays a vital role in audio
transmission and distance set between the multimedia device and speaker.
You should opt for Bluetooth v4.0 or above as it consumes
low energy, for prolonged battery life and permissible distance is about 50-60
meters.
Connectivity
options
Apart from the standard wireless connectivity, it is
advisable to opt for a wired connection as well. Make sure your speaker comes
with an auxiliary input or better known as 'aux-in'.
A wired connection is preferred, especially when you are
indoors and want to save the battery of your smartphone and speaker.
Playing on a wired connection also slightly improves the
sound output.
A microphone is another smart feature you must look for
in a Bluetooth speaker as it enables you to answer calls directly through the
Bluetooth speaker.
Charging
Of late, most speakers come with a micro USB port, which
lets you charge it with a power bank too instead of a cable.
An integrated USB charging port makes life easier as you
can charge your device anywhere without looking for a wall socket.
Usage
If you plan to buy a speaker for indoor use, you can
consider a speaker that with a bigger driver that will deliver a much superior
output as compared to a mini speaker.
However, if you are going to use it outdoors, you must
opt for a rugged speaker which has a dust proof, waterproof body and has a
decent battery life.
With these basic tips in place, we hope to have made your
life a little easier.
Now, you can go ahead to narrow down the Bluetooth
speaker that satisfies the music lover in you.
