Wireless and Bluetooth speakers come in a wide range of styles and at many price points to suit all kinds of audio needs. You could shop for a portable wireless speaker to take wherever you go or for wireless home speakers to set up in your living room. You could benefit from a wireless smart speaker that will let you control smart devices with voice commands. You could even pick out a waterproof Bluetooth speaker to take on your next hike or camping trip.

Choosing the best wireless speakers comes down to knowing your audio needs and your budget. Ask yourself what sort of listening you plan to do. How many hours do you need your speaker to last on a single charge? Do you want a speaker with a large subwoofer for your music? Would you prefer a single speaker for easy portability or a pair of speakers to create a richer sound? If you would like to use multiple speakers at once, make sure to choose wireless speakers with pairing technology.

Once you have your speaker, it’s time to make good use of it. Making the most of your new Bluetooth speakers is all about staying prepared with the right speaker accessories. Important accessories include carrying cases for portable speakers, covers to protect your device and chargers, charging docks and adaptors to keep your speaker working for hours no matter where you go. If you are taking your speaker on a camping trip or into the wilderness, you may benefit from having a solar power kit or power bank to charge the speaker and other devices as needed.

Aside from listening to music and podcasts, you can also enjoy your new speaker in more unique ways. For instance, you might set up the speaker as a sound system for a portable movie projector or use it to play white noise tracks when you are going to sleep if you don’t have a white noise machine. The convenience of a Bluetooth speaker can serve you during the day or night, at home or on the go!
