When you’re ready to buy a new speaker, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. The first and most important thing is cost. Without question, the best Bluetooth speakers cost more than $100. The following are things you need to look for when buying Bluetooth speakers.
Look Out For Bad Bluetooth Speakers
Certain Bluetooth speakers don’t fit the bill. They’re either too large to be easy to pair with multiple devices and have a weak, tinny sound, or they rely too heavily on the Bluetooth connection to sound good. These issues can be overcome by pairing multiple devices together, but it’s still a pain in the neck. If you don’t mind spending a few bucks more, consider the BTSM 15.
Sound Quality
If sound quality is an important consideration for you, you need to look closely at the BTSM 15. The BTSM 15 has a pretty good sound for its size, with decent volume and a nice, full sound signature. It’s a shame that the sound quality is pretty poor. In our testing, the speaker produced very quiet and low-quality sounds. On the positive side, the BTSM 15 is lightweight and easy to pair with multiple devices. It’s not ideal if you want to pair it with a Loudspeaker.
Easy Pairing
This is one of the easiest Bluetooth tech features to turn off. You can pair multiple Bluetooth devices together, then just press the SPEAKER’ button on the speaker to switch between them. However, if you want to switch between devices without pairing them manually, this function isn’t available. If you’re often listening to music, a large percentage of which is voice-based, then pairing this speaker with your computer or mobile device will work fine. A high percentage of voice-based communication falls under the heading of annoying.’
Long Battery Life
One thing that this speaker has going for it is that it lasts a long time on a charge. In our testing, the battery on the BTSM 15 lasted for more than six hours on a single charge. This is great for those long road trips or for when you’re on the go. It’s not the most reliable battery life we’ve ever seen, but it’s still better than most. A downside to this is that the battery is not replaceable.
Portable
At just over three pounds, the BTSM 15 is one of the lightest Bluetooth speaker on the market. It’s also the perfect size to fit in your bag or travel trunk. It’s easy to move from room to room, and it easily slides under a desk or table when not in use. This is the ideal speaker for travelers or those who want to take their speaker with them when they go on a trip.
Rechargeable Battery
One downside to all of the portable-ness and long battery life is that you won’t be able to use it while it’s charging. If you don’t mind being without your speaker for a few hours while it charges, this is a minor issue. It’s still a great feature to have, though. The battery on this speaker lasts for about three hours on a single charge. This is the pretty standard battery life for Bluetooth speakers, and it’s better than most.
The best Bluetooth speakers don’t just play great music; they sound great as well. They have to be able to handle a variety of situations, from office settings to the airport and from the bedroom to the car. They have to be easy to pair with multiple devices and have long battery life. They also have to be portable and rechargeable. The BTSM 15 definitely ticks those boxes. It’s easy to pair with multiple devices and has long battery life, making it a great choice for any situation.
