Bluetooth speakers are so fashionable and numerous on the market that it has become difficult to choose one. There is a multitude of brands selling Bluetooth speakers and it can be difficult for a layperson to choose the right one.
Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker Buying Guide
There are many criteria to take into account when making your purchase to make the right choice so as not to have unpleasant surprises. Here we will focus on the waterproof models.
Choose your waterproof Bluetooth speaker according to size and format
Wireless models come in many forms and so do waterproof models. Depending on your different needs, you have to choose a speaker that is more or less imposing.
If you opt for a very compact model, which can be put in a pocket, know that as a general rule these offer limited sound performance. On the other hand, the most imposing models are often easier to transport and give the possibility of adding sound to larger environments.
If you want to always have your waterproof Bluetooth speaker with you and use it everywhere, preferably choose a medium size.
Choose according to the protection Index
While designers have taken into account that users want the ability to take their Bluetooth device anywhere, some models are more durable and sturdier than others. In order to find your way around, there is what is called the Protection Index (IP).
The latter’s function is to measure the tightness of a product. This index is made up of two digits. The first focuses on resistance to solid bodies such as sand and the second corresponds to liquid bodies.
Some enclosures are only resistant to splashing, while others can be completely submerged, both in clear water and salt. Ideally, we advise you to go for an IPX7 certification.
Choose according to sound performance
In addition to ergonomics and solidity, sound performance is another essential element in choosing a Waterproof Bluetooth speaker. Indeed, if the device can follow you anywhere but its audio rendering is average, you will never be able to fully enjoy the speaker.
We recommend that you stay away from models that are too compact. Indeed, the latter can often be very limited, especially about the bass.
What additional functions for your speaker?
It is complicated to stand out among the thousands and thousands of Bluetooth devices on the market. To this end, a lot of designers are not imaginative enough and focus mainly on certain additional functions.
Thus, some waterproof Bluetooth speakers can be optimized using a mobile app, light effects, or even a system offering the possibility of recharging your smartphone.
Also, if you want to be able to manage your music easily and quickly from your speaker rather than your mobile stand, you will need to make sure that your model has full controls. Last important point: the presence of voice assistants such as Google Assistant or Alexa. This is why some devices today can be much more versatile than before.
The dimensions and weight of the Bluetooth Speaker
One of the principles of a Bluetooth Speaker is the fact of being carried everywhere to listen to music wherever it is.
The criterion of dimensions is therefore essential. More and more people tend to want to buy smaller and smaller speakers so they can fit them in their pockets. However, although this rule does not work for 100% of speakers, the smaller the speaker, the lower the sound quality will be.
If you are looking for a speaker for listening to music outdoors, consider looking at its weight and a heavy speaker will be more crippling than anything else while a lightweight speaker will be convenient on the go and won’t clutter you up.
Design
This criterion is a criterion without really being one. Everyone will like or dislike the design of a speaker. Of course, the higher the price, the more the speaker will tend to be designed with a clean style, with tactile buttons, and with more expensive materials.
Accessories
Bluetooth speakers can be wired, but care must be taken to ensure that the associated jack cable is supplied with the speaker. This is not always the case and if it happens to you then you will have to invest in a cable.
Conclusion
Choosing a Bluetooth Speaker can seem complicated when faced with a multitude of models sold as the best by each manufacturer. The number of criteria to be taken into account can also be scary. Our advice is therefore simple: first, define your needs and your budget. You will thus refine your searches.
