Tips for buying a portable speaker

Portable and wireless speakers with Bluetooth connection are a very useful device for playing music or listening to podcasts while we do housework, we are at the pool, the beach, other bathing areas to cool off from the heat, camping or hiking in the mountains, having a party at home... Therefore, it is not surprising that on the market we find a wide variety of models to choose from.

Given such an amount of speaker supply, making the decision to buy one can be overwhelming. Of course, the price of the device and our own budget are determining factors, but it is not the only thing we should look at. Other criteria such as design, ease of use, battery, sound quality, dimensions and weight of the speaker, as well as its resistance to water will help you find the most suitable one.

Make sure that the design of the speaker is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also comfortable and practical, with a simple shape. Find that it has power buttons, volume up and down and change songs without using the mobile phone. The simpler and more basic to use it is, the better.

The purpose of these speakers is to take them with you wherever you go and you won't always be able to carry them. Therefore, make sure that they have a good battery life, that they last a long time and that they charge quickly.

If the sound quality is good, you will hear more clearly, without distortions or reverberations. In addition, the clarity of the audio will not be affected if the volume is very high, since many speakers boom in this circumstance and this affects the sound quality.

If you want to take your speaker with you everywhere, it is best if it is not too big or heavy. However, keep in mind that if you want long battery life and excellent sound quality, this is likely to add to the weight of the device.

To know the water resistance of the speaker, you should look at its IP classification. This is especially important if you want to take it with you to bathing areas. This data refers to the resistance of the terminal against the entry of solid objects, such as dust or grass; as well as liquids such as water. You will see the IP data followed by two numbers, where the first refers to the level of resistance to solid objects and the second to the level of resistance to liquids, zero being no resistance to water and 8 the possibility of completely submerging it.
