Various Bluetooth speakers at a glance

Bluetooth speakers bring a lot of advantages. For example, they are extremely mobile thanks to the integrated battery and are well suited if you want to listen to music on the balcony, in the garden or in the park. However, not all speaker models are the same, depending on the equipment, the speakers are better or worse suited for certain activities.

• Loudspeakers with a high IPX protection class are particularly suitable for outdoor activities and can easily survive times immersed in water.
• Small Bluetooth speakers are especially convenient when traveling, as they take up less space and are thus easier to stow in your luggage.
• Larger models are particularly suitable for home to avoid annoying wiring.
• If the speakers have a hands-free system, you can also use them in the car.
• Some models are equipped with a powerbank function that allows you to charge other devices. So you are even more mobile.

Which speakers ultimately suit you depends on your needs.

WLAN instead of Bluetooth

In addition to Bluetooth speakers, especially premium manufacturers such as Bose or Bang & Olufsen offer WLAN speakers. These can be connected to the network at home and can thus be set up, for example, to wireless multi-room systems. Der Vorteil von WLAN ist vor allem die stabilere Verbindung und der Fakt, dass Audioinhalte nicht komprimiert übertragen werden wie es bei Bluetooth der Fall ist.
