Best wireless speakers

2 minutes reading

Wireless speakers have become increasingly popular in recent years. Thanks to the rechargeable battery, they can be used anywhere.

Wireless speakers are also used in living rooms, often wifi speakers. Multiple speakers can be paired together so that they work in stereo and thus play music at the same time. This will give you an even better sound experience.

On this page you will learn more about wireless bluetooth and wifi speakers, and you will find interesting products.

Best bluetooth speakers

The best bluetooth speakers have extra power (wattage). This often allows them to support higher volumes while still keeping the sound clear.

These speakers are also suitable for a smartphone by connecting via bluetooth. How to do this is always explained in the manual of the speaker.

Mini bluetooth speaker

Small portable speakers are handy on the go. Some speakers can also be controlled by two smartphones at the same time. This way you can both choose music with your own phone, without interrupting the music.

Some speakers can also be paired together, so that they can play sound at the same time (in stereo). This gives you an even better music experience.

In addition, it is of course useful if a portable speaker is resistant to, for example, sand, water and dust. This allows you to use the speaker anywhere without worry.

Best wifi speakers

Wifi speakers are not suitable for on the road but are used at home. The advantage of a wifi speaker is that your phone does not have to be near the speaker. With bluetooth speakers you have to, because otherwise the music will stop.

Wifi speakers are also often called smart speakers. Because they are connected via wifi, they can be added to a smart home system such as Google Home.

Tip: the smart speakers from Google and Xiaomi are cheaper.

Pairing multiple wireless speakers (stereo)

Many speakers on this page support stereo sound by pairing multiple speakers together. This means that the speakers are used simultaneously so that you have an even better music experience.

With bluetooth speakers, only speakers of the same brand can often be paired with each other. With wifi speakers you can create a speaker group to which you can add multiple speakers.
