Outdoor Sports Bluetooth Speaker Buying Guide

How to choose a Bluetooth speaker for outdoor sports, for the uninitiated, to determine what is important and what is not. Through our years of testing music equipment and speakers, we know firsthand which ones are essential. We've focused on these features, which you should know when shopping for an outdoor Bluetooth speaker.

1. Sound quality - Since all the units of the outdoor Bluetooth speaker are in a box, the size of the outdoor Bluetooth speaker itself is usually not large. So even if it is a stereo Bluetooth speaker, in fact, as long as you listen to the sound at a certain distance, it is actually mono. Stereo design is more about avoiding the hassle of outputting mono mixes from stereo sources. Sometimes dual speakers are more powerful than single speakers. In other words, a small speaker of the same size, with two small speakers mounted on the structure, may produce a maximum sound pressure level greater than the maximum sound pressure level that a single unit can plug into the same box. However, this doesn't have to be the case, for example, the JBL Flip5 is designed to be mono. There have been previous complaints that the cancellation of stereo is shrinking. In fact, the stereo of such a small speaker is meaningless. If it is designed as mono, it can increase the dynamic performance, which is more practical.

2. Build Quality - Build quality is another key factor. Make sure it's made of durable materials so you can use them for years to come. Durability is essential, especially in factory use, as it is difficult to prevent occasional slips and falls. We strongly recommend that you purchase a waterproof and dustproof Bluetooth speaker to protect it from unexpected environmental conditions. For this, please pay attention to certification.

3. Battery life - We all know that the higher the power and dynamic range of the speaker, the better the sound quality. Unless the volume is loud enough, the maximum volume and dynamic performance of small speakers such as Bluetooth speakers are usually not as good as traditional speakers. In other words, the power design of the Bluetooth speaker should be as large as possible. However, it is not. Because that premise doesn't take battery life into account. However, as a portable Bluetooth speaker, it is usually equipped with a battery and needs to be used on the move.

4. Portability - Portability is another essential feature. In most cases, you'll be working near a factory, and you'll probably want to take your speakers with you, which is why portability is important. Make sure your speakers are designed to be small and light. Also, if it is a large-size Bluetooth speaker, we strongly recommend that you buy one with a handle or wheels.

5. Price - It may ultimately depend on your budget. The more features your speaker has, the more expensive it will be. However, you don't need to spend money on a speaker that packs a ton of features you won't even be using. For example, if you don't use the speaker to charge your phone, you don't need to use the speaker. As a general rule of thumb, buy the most powerful speakers within your budget.

6. Factory Noise - If you work in a factory, you may be surrounded by loud noises that can overwhelm even the loudest speakers. So you need to buy a Bluetooth speaker with better performance than factory noise. For this, volume is the main consideration. The louder the better. Also, some speakers allow you to pair multiple speakers to produce one huge sound; we highly recommend buying speakers with this feature.
