Bluetooth speakers are becoming increasingly popular for in-home use. These wireless speakers allow you to access audio content from your smartphone without having to dock it. This means that you can control what you listen to anywhere within the range of the speaker.
Bluetooth speakers come in a variety of sizes and shapes, from small portables to large bookshelf-size models. But no matter what the size or shape, they all work the same way. Bluetooth is simply a wireless technology that lets two devices talk to each other. In the case of Bluetooth speakers, your smartphone, tablet, or other device transmits to the Bluetooth speaker, which uses its built-in amplifier and speakers for playback. This lets you enjoy much better sound quality than what’s produced by the tiny built-in speakers on your phone.
Connecting or pairing your device to a Bluetooth speaker is a simple one-time operation. Most Bluetooth speakers will remember and recognize your phone when it’s in range. So, after your initial pairing, all you have to do is turn the speaker on, and you’re ready to listen.
One thing to note is that even though Bluetooth speakers are wireless, they still need power for their built-in amplifier. Some speakers will always need to be plugged into a wall outlet to work. If you want portability, look for a model with a built-in rechargeable battery.
So, what can you listen to on a Bluetooth speaker? Anything that you can listen to on your smartphone: stored audio, streaming music, movie soundtracks, and more. When you shop for Bluetooth speakers, keep in mind where you might be using them. There are models that will suit your particular audio and lifestyle needs.
