A simple guide to picking a Bluetooth speaker you’ll love—wherever you listen._
1) Sound profile and size
- Indoors: Go for balanced tuning and room-filling sound. Dual drivers + passive radiator help with fuller bass. 10–20W is plenty for bedrooms and offices.
- Outdoors: You’ll want bigger drivers (50 mm+) and more wattage (20–40W+) for openness and wind noise. 360° designs spread sound evenly.
2) Codecs and connectivity
- Codecs: SBC works everywhere; AAC is great for iPhone; aptX/aptX Adaptive or LDAC can boost quality on many Android phones.
- Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.2/5.3 for range and stability, multipoint to connect two devices at once, optional aux-in for TVs/laptops, built-in mic if you take calls.
3) Battery life + charging
- Look for honest playtime at 50% volume (real-world 10–20 hours is a sweet spot).
- USB‑C fast charging is a must; some models double as a power bank for your phone.
4) Waterproof/dustproof ratings
- IPX4: Splash-resistant (kitchen, light rain).
- IP66: Dust-tight + high‑pressure water jets.
- IP67: Fully dust‑tight + submersible to 1 m for 30 min (great for beach/pool).
- For showers or poolside, IP67 is the safe bet.
5) Best picks by scenario
- Shower: Compact IP67, strap/suction option, 5–10W is perfect.
- Patio/BBQ: 20–40W+, 360° sound, IPX6+ to handle splashes.
- Road trips: Small but loud, 15–20h battery, USB‑C, multipoint for DJ handoffs.
