A wired connection is handy if you wish to save a bit of battery on your phone or speaker and it also helps sometimes in getting better quality sound. This is generally marked as ‘Aux-In' in the specifications page of the speaker. Connectivityīesides wireless connectivity, it's nice to have the option for the wired connection too so check for an auxiliary connector. If you're someone who listens to rock and electronic music a lot, then having passive radiators like in the JBL Flip 4, really helps.

Since there isn't much space inside a portable Bluetooth speaker for a woofer, most manufacturers install passive radiators, which vibrate to produce bass.

Many speakers also have a twin driver setup, which tend be noticeably louder. Smaller Bluetooth speakers typically come with a single, full-range driver and are positioned either facing upwards or downwards, in order to displace sound better.

The number of drivers and their placement also make a difference to how the speaker will sound. The Sony SRS-XB41 boasts massive 58mm drivers, which does of course make the speaker much larger. If you want bigger drivers then expect the overall size of the speaker to increase too. Most portable speakers will typically have a 40mm driver, which is good size to start with. The driver is the heart of any speaker so its imperative you get a decently sized driver. Bluetooth 5 is the latest standard, which vastly improves the data transmission rate and range, but there's still time before we see speakers adopting this standard. You should ideally look for Bluetooth 4 or better, as this version adds support for Low Energy profile, for better battery life and its is about 60 meters. The version of Bluetooth determines the quality of audio transmission and distance you can keep between your phone and the speaker. The rest of the frequencies (up to 20,000Hz) form the treble. Vocals and other instruments like a guitar and piano typically reside in the range of 250Hz to 4000Hz (or 4kHz), which is commonly referred to as the mid-range. In an audio track, the bass is usually heard around the frequency range of 20Hz to 250Hz. Other factors like the listener's age also come into account since our ability to hear certain frequencies diminish with time. However, having a big range alone doesn't guarantee good sound as it depends on how your ear perceives sound too, which can vary wildly from person to person. In theory, the wider the range, the better the ability of speaker to reproduce audio as it was intended. Frequency responseįrequency response is measured in Hertz and is typically described as a range, say from 100Hz - 20,000Hz. As we mentioned before, it's not ideal to base your purchase decision on specifications alone but it's a good place to start, especially if you can't get a field test of the speaker yourself.
