92 wireless speakers tested in a laboratory by the Conscious Customers Association with international consumer organizations. Among other things, they have tested how good they are, how easy they are and how versatile they are.
For speakers, it is a priority to give a good sound experience. During the testing, they examined the sound of the devices in the case of different musical genres (classical, jazz, pop and rock music) and speech. Is there any difference in sound quality when listening from different angles and distances.
Of the tested devices, 9 received a score of 4 or better on a scale from 0 to 5. The good news is that they are easy to handle and practical. On the other hand, the goods are on a very wide scale: while the most expensive 188,000 forints Bang & Olufsen device, a nearly equally performing Samsung speaker can be bought for as much as 38,000.
13 speakers received 2 or less points for sound. These are mostly cheaper, around 10,000 forints, but they also have nearly 80,000 forints. So the price will still not be fooled by anyone.
The name of the wireless speakers can be misleading for many, because it does not mean that the device does not have any cables at all, but that the speaker can be connected wirelessly to our audio device, for example. phone, tablet. However, the speaker can still be connected to the power through the cable or recharged.
Although for some years the wired connection has provided even better sound quality than wireless, there is virtually no difference between the two genres. There is a minimal aural difference in favor of the Wifi connection with Bloutooth, but this is only noticed by very skilled ears, no difference for an average user.
The difference in sound quality in the products included in the test was not the case with Bluetooth or Wifi, but with the quality of the device.
What to pay attention to when buying a speaker
If you want to choose between a Bluetooth or Wifi device, note that Bluetooth has the advantage of not being dependent on internet access, but with the disadvantage of having a small range. That is, approx. The connection is already interrupted above 10 meters. Thus, we cannot move away from the sound carrier, for example, with the speaker. from our phone.
On the other hand, the distance between the speaker and the audio device is no longer relevant to the Wifi connection, so you can move around with the speaker in your home / office / garden, but both have to connect to the same Wifire. The disadvantage of this is that we cannot use it if there is no Wifi or weak. There are devices that have both connections.
Don't beat yourself up with unnecessary costs
If you already have a good wired speaker at home, it is not worth replacing it. It is much cheaper to buy a Bluetooth adapter and connect it to your wired speakerphone, so you can listen to music from your mobile phone through the old speaker. The price of the adapters varies between 3,000 and 15,000 HUF.
