Bluetooth speakers are the latest innovation in the technology of sound without wires. While this technology is still in its developmental stages, has already shown a lot of promise. If you have a Bluetooth-enabled phone, you've already seen this technology in action, as it allows the wireless transmission of data between two phones via remote access. The same principles with bluetooth speakers. In this article I am going through some of the best Bluetooth speakers are available and their discussion highlightsfeatures.
Bluetooth speakers are generally used as 'replacement' speakers. Currently, they do not have the power to replace a set of 5.1 surround sound system, or enough bass to liven up a big house party. Nevertheless, what they lack in power, they more than make up for in portability. Because they are wireless and relatively small in size, you can carry them around anywhere. In fact, a lot of manufacturers make speakers designed specifically for use with laptops that you can just toss into your laptop bag.
Some of the best bluetooth speakers are made by major electronics manufacturers, namely Sony, Samsung, Philips, etc. Bose, Altec Lansing and JBL - three important speaker manufacturers have an extensive lineup as well. Prices can range from less than for a set of cheap, lightweight set to 0+ for a high quality Bose speaker system.
The first step to picking the best bluetooth speakers is understanding your own needs. If you just want a set of cheap, lightweight speakers you can use with your laptop, then an entry level Samsung or Logitech set would serve you well. But if you want something that you can lug around in your car, on picnics, and which can also serve as a desktop speaker replacement, you will have to shell out a few hundred dollars.
