Nowadays, many people are able to carry their entire music collection in their pocket, whether it’s stored on a smartphone or a portable music device. This portability is great for enjoying your music on the go, but is somewhat limited as these devices typically only feature a headphone socket, or some low-powered poor quality internal speakers, meaning you cannot easily share your favourite music with friends. Portable speakers enable you to play music from your portable devices much louder than internal speakers, and usually with much better audio performance and fidelity.
Most portable speakers will feature an auxiliary input, typically a 3.5mm jack socket, enabling you to connect a wide range of devices to the speaker, and enjoy playback with your friends and family. Most models also feature an AC power supply connection, meaning that when you are able to use your device endlessly when in range of a plug socket. Portable Speakers are designed to be rugged and sturdy, making them an ideal portable companion, and meaning that they can easily withstand any knocks and bumps acquired on the go or in use. Some models are even splash-proof, meaning that your speaker can keep up with an active lifestyle.
The popularity of Bluetooth wireless technology has led to its inclusion on the majority of portable devices – smartphones, tablets, portable computers, portable music devices etc. Many portable speakers also include Bluetooth functionality, enabling you to wirelessly transmit your audio from any Bluetooth enabled device. Many portable speakers now feature apt-X Bluetooth technology, which delivers lossless, CD quality audio, without the need for wires. Considering the key purpose of these speakers is portability, the less you have to carry the better, so having a wireless portable speaker eliminates the need to carry round cables with you to connect your devices.
A key feature to consider when selecting a portable speaker is battery life. Like most portable devices, battery life dictates how long you will be able to use your device without connection to the mains power supply, and a bigger, better battery can result in hours of endless enjoyment, being able to listen to your music. Using Bluetooth rather than an auxiliary input may result in less battery life, as the Bluetooth functionality of the portable speaker is likely to be more demanding on the battery than a wired connection.
Some portable speakers feature additional connectivity options and features, adding to the value and enjoyment you can get out of your product. For example, some models feature DAB digital radio, letting you tune in to your favourite radio stations anywhere, while still offering the typical functions of a portable speaker by allowing you to connect devices. Some units allow you to charge your devices directly from them, increasing their functionality, and making it a perfect companion for your devices.
