How do you choose a Bluetooth speaker?
Choose a Bluetooth speaker
To choose the right Bluetooth speaker, it's useful to know what you want to use it for. We'll explain a couple of specifications based on usage situations. For example:
- Will you take the speaker with you to the beach or pool?
- Which size do you need?
- Which battery life do you need?
- How do you choose the best sound quality?
- How do you choose the right JBL speaker?
Will you take the speaker with you to the beach or pool?
If you're planning to use the Bluetooth speaker on the beach or at the pool, it's important it's waterproof. If you want to be able to bring the speaker to the garden or the park, water resistance is important too. Think about whether your speaker needs to be dust or impact resistant too. We indicate the water, dust, and impact resistance with an IP number. Curious about the meaning of all the IP certifications? Click on the article on this page.
What size do you need?
Bluetooth speakers are available in a lot of sizes. From pocket size to large and heavy speakers, they can differ a lot. While smaller speakers are easier to take with you, larger speakers produce a better sound.
Which battery life do you need?
Think carefully about how long you want to listen to music undisturbed. Will you use the speaker at home a lot? You can charge it often. If you want to take it with you for a couple of days or want to use it during a weekend trip, you might be looking for a longer battery life. Keep in mind that the indicated battery life and playing time is often based on the average use with medium volume.
Do you want the best sound quality?
If you want to enjoy your music in the best sound quality, keep the following in mind. The larger the speaker, the better the sound quality. If you choose a compact size Bluetooth speaker, you can't expect a high volume or perfect sound. A larger speaker has more room for woofers and tweeters. These provide a clear sound reproduction or deep bass.
Do you want a JBL speaker?
When you think of a Bluetooth speaker, many people think about a JBL speaker. This market leader in colorful Bluetooth speakers has a large assortment, which often makes it difficult to choose. View the article on this page to get help with your choice.
