Bluetooth Speaker Manufacturers: How To Choose Outdoor Bluetooth Speakers

With the increasing demand of people, all kinds of speakers have also added Bluetooth chips, which directly get rid of the control of cables, and the volume is very small so that users can easily carry them when they go out.

But there are so many types of Bluetooth speakers on the market today. If we want the speaker to have strong performance and high-cost performance, how can we choose the one that suits us?

1. Selection based on protection function

Most music enthusiasts will choose to carry a Bluetooth speaker when they go out for outdoor activities, and the speaker will inevitably encounter some bumps when it is not at home, especially when riding and traveling by car. Speakers do more damage.

Therefore, when buying a Bluetooth speaker, many people will pay special attention to the protection function of the Bluetooth speaker itself:

①. Waterproof performance

The waterproof and dustproof levels of most electronics on the market will be indicated by IPXX. The first "X" represents the dustproof level of the device itself, and the second "X" represents the waterproof level of the device.

When it comes to waterproofing, there is also a misunderstanding that most people do not know the difference between waterproofing and splashproof. In fact, IP4 only reaches the level of splash-proof, IP5 or above is considered to be truly waterproof, and only speakers above IP7 can be directly immersed in water.

②. Dustproof performance

At present, many Bluetooth speakers only have a waterproof function and do not have a dustproof function, so the number of dustproof levels is directly omitted. But for outdoor Bluetooth speakers, dustproof performance is also very important, because, in the outdoor environment, the entry of dust may affect the sound quality and the life of the speaker.

The following table shows the dust-proof effect brought by the specific dust-proof grade. It can be seen that most of the dust-proof grades below IP5X can only prevent the entry of large particles, and only speakers above IP6X can completely prevent dust from entering. Therefore, for outdoor Bluetooth speakers, you must choose speakers with a dustproof level of IP6X or higher to better adapt to the outdoor environment.

③. Anti-drop performance

Most users will inevitably encounter some bumps when using Bluetooth speakers outdoors, and most Bluetooth speakers are small and fragile and are likely to break when dropped.

The anti-drop design of some Bluetooth speakers on the market today can be said to be very considerate. The more common anti-drop protection method is to directly use a relatively soft shell material, which can also play a good buffering role when the device is dropped.

Bluetooth speaker manufacturers suggest:

For enthusiasts who need to do outdoor sports, Bluetooth speakers with waterproof, dustproof, and anti-drop functions are still very popular. After all, it is easy to encounter water and dust when used outdoors, and the waterproof and dustproof level of IP56 or above is not enough. It can meet the needs of most enthusiasts.

2. Selection based on speaker type

Of course, as a speaker, the effect of sound quality must also be considered, and different speakers have different sound quality effects. For most novices, it will be difficult to choose. If you want to choose speakers more quickly, you still need to know more about the basics of speakers.

① Electric speakers

The most widely used type of loudspeaker uses a current-carrying conductor as a voice coil. When an audio current signal is an input to the voice coil, the voice coil acts as a current-carrying conductor.

It is divided into three types: paper cone type, horn type, and dome type, which have the characteristics of soft sound and high power. It is relatively easy to produce and inexpensive, and uniform frequency response can be obtained in the mid-range. It is suitable for playing bass and heavy bass music, which is very suitable for the use environment of outdoor Bluetooth speakers.

②. Electrostatic speakers

It refers to a type of speaker in which the extremely thin diaphragm moves back and forth under the action of electrostatic force. Because the positive and negative electrodes face each other and form a capacitor shape, it is also called a capacitor speaker. Electrostatic speakers work in the middle and high-frequency bands, the sound quality is light and detailed, full of features, it is not easy to be distorted, and has good resolution.

The disadvantage of this type of speaker is that it is less efficient and not suitable for listening to rock, and heavy metal music, so it is very suitable for vocals and softer types of music.

③. Piezoelectric speakers

Using the principle that the piezoelectric material is deformed by the electric field, the piezoelectric element is placed in the electric field formed by the audio current signal, causing it to be displaced, thereby producing an inverse voltage effect, and finally driving the diaphragm to produce sound, and it can generate current when vibrating. Nature Design and Renovation.

Compared with the electric loudspeaker, it does not need a magnetic circuit and compared with the electrostatic loudspeaker, it does not need a bias voltage, the structure is simple, and the price is cheap. At present, this kind of speaker has a small scope of application and is not recommended to be considered.

Bluetooth speaker manufacturers suggest:

If the budget is not very high, it is recommended to choose the speaker of the electric speaker, because the production of the speaker of the electric speaker itself is still very easy, the price is relatively cheap, the sound quality is also very powerful, and the low-frequency effect is very good, which can satisfy most the listening needs of users.

If you listen to more high-pitched music every day, the speaker of an electrostatic speaker is a good choice, which can bring users a clearer and more transparent high-pitched sound, and it is also very distinctive. It is recommended to choose. That is, the efficiency of electrostatic speaker speakers is relatively low. If you like listening to rock music, you must remember to avoid lightning.

3. Selection based on the box material

Of course, another main factor that can directly affect the sound quality of the speaker is the material of the speaker itself. If you want to experience better sound quality, you still need to do more homework on the selection of the material of the box.

①. Wooden box

It is the most widely used speaker box material at present. Most of the wooden box speakers on the market are made of high-density fiberboard, and the processing cost is low. The expressiveness of sound is generally better than similar products of plastic and metal texture, and it is the first choice of many audiophiles.

②. Plastic box

It is a new type of speaker box material, which looks more beautiful, light in weight, and more diverse in appearance. The price is relatively low, but it is difficult to overcome the resonance, so the sound is generally dry, not round, and lacks smoothness. Only the high-density plastic that has undergone special treatment can the sound quality be better.

③. Metal box

It is a product with high technical content. The material can be ever-changing, and it is easy to process and design. However, it is not easy to take into account the beauty and sound quality. It is often expensive and is more suitable for listening to some lower music. For metal speakers, the coloring part is more difficult to control.

Bluetooth speaker manufacturers suggest:

Most of the speakers with wooden cabinets look more beautiful, and the sound performance is also very good, which can meet the listening requirements of most people, but wooden speakers are not suitable for outdoor sports, and enthusiasts who often go out generally do not choose wooden cabinets Bluetooth Speaker.
