How to connect your phone to a speaker

If you have a lot of music tracks on your smartphone or use a music streaming service, then it is a good idea to play them through a speaker. Before this is possible, you first need to connect the two devices. There are various options available to you for this process.

1. If you would like to connect your speaker wirelessly to your smartphone, Bluetooth is a good option. You must first activate the function via the settings of your phone. Depending on the speaker model, you may also need to enable Bluetooth before you can pair the two devices. Note that both devices must support the standard.
2. In addition to Bluetooth speakers, there are also WLAN speakers. These allow you to connect your smartphone to the speaker via WLAN. For this, both devices must be on the same network. Then you can stream the music from your phone through the speaker.
3. If the two wireless variants are not possible, the connection via a suitable cable still remains. This is done in most cases via the AUX connector. To connect your phone to this is usually a separate adapter necessary.
