You don’t really buy a Bluetooth speaker every few months. In fact, you only start searching for one when you have a trip coming up or a party planned. If you buy the first speaker you see or go for something that looks good on paper, you’ll likely end up regretting it later.
Choosing the best sound quality Bluetooth speaker takes time, not just a quick scan of the spec sheet. Psst, start by matching the speaker’s features to your actual lifestyle, and you might just be on your way to studio-grade quality.
And if you need some help along the way, here’s what to look for when buying a portable Bluetooth speaker, along with four boAt speakers that get it right.
Your Cheat Sheet to Best Sound Quality Speakers
1. The devil is in the drivers
Most of us value wattage more than the driver size, but it’s time to look past the W. Think about the driver configuration. The larger the drivers, the more air they’ll physically move. And that’s exactly how you get that wider soundstage and immersive sound.
2. Bass that brings beats to life
Ever listened to an EDM and actually felt a rumble in your body? That’s what a good bass does, which is why a good-quality speaker will always have a dedicated bass mode or a subwoofer, so there’s a depth, a punch to your audio.
3. Balancing the highs & the mids
Getting the bass right is only half the battle. The best sound quality Bluetooth speaker must also balance those low frequencies with the mids and highs. Why? So that subtle acoustic guitar riff sounds just as clean as a heavy electronic beat drop.
