Things to consider

Choosing the right speaker can seem daunting, but it all comes down to how you plan to use it. Here are the key things to consider to help you find the perfect match for your audio needs.

• Speaker Type: Are you looking for a portable Bluetooth speaker for trips to the park, a smart speaker with a voice assistant for your kitchen, or a powerful soundbar for your TV? Your primary use case will determine the best type for you.

• Sound Quality: Look at factors like wattage for power and frequency response for audio clarity. If you love deep bass, look for speakers with dedicated subwoofers or passive radiators. For balanced audio, consider multi-driver systems.

• Connectivity: Bluetooth is great for portability and ease of use. WiFi speakers are ideal for multi-room home audio systems as they offer higher quality streaming. Many speakers offer both, plus options like a 3.5mm aux input.

• Smart Features: Many modern speakers come with built-in voice assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, allowing you to control music, set timers, and manage other smart home devices with your voice.

FAQs

• What's the difference between Bluetooth and WiFi speakers?

Bluetooth speakers connect directly to your device (like a phone or tablet) and are great for portability. WiFi speakers connect to your home network, offering higher-quality audio and the ability to create a multi-room sound system.

• What does 'wattage' mean for a speaker?

Wattage (W) indicates the speaker's power output. Higher wattage generally means a louder speaker, but sound quality also depends on driver quality, cabinet design, and other factors.

• Do I need a subwoofer?

If you enjoy deep, powerful bass for music and movies, a subwoofer is a great addition. For casual listening or smaller rooms, the bass from bookshelf or portable speakers is often sufficient.

• What is a 'smart speaker'?

A smart speaker has a built-in virtual assistant (like Alexa or Google Assistant). You can use voice commands to play music, ask questions, control other smart home devices and more.

• Can I use a portable speaker outdoors?

Yes, many portable speakers are designed for outdoor use. Look for models with an IP rating (e.g., IP67) which indicates they are water and dust resistant.

• What is multi-room audio?

Multi-room audio allows you to connect multiple speakers over your WiFi network and play the same music in every room, or different music in different rooms, all controlled from a single app.

• How important is the brand?

Established audio brands like Bang & Olufsen, JBL and Sony, have a reputation for quality, reliability and good customer support, which can be a significant factor in your decision.

• What is a 'passive radiator'?

A passive radiator is a type of speaker driver that doesn't produce sound on its own but vibrates in response to the movement of the main active driver. It's used to enhance the low-frequency response (bass) in smaller speakers.

• Do bigger speakers always sound better?

Not necessarily. While larger speakers can often produce deeper bass and higher volumes, sound quality is determined by the quality of the components, the cabinet design, and the engineering. A well-designed smaller speaker can outperform a poorly designed larger one.

• How do I connect my speaker to my TV?

For the best experience, a soundbar is the ideal speaker for a TV, usually connecting via an HDMI ARC or Optical cable. Some smart speakers can also be paired with streaming devices for enhanced TV audio.
