The advantages of a Bluetooth speaker are:
- Bluetooth does not require an Internet connection. It is therefore possible to enjoy a Bluetooth speaker regardless of the location or the network.
- There are models of all shapes, colors and sizes.
- The sound is generally very good, even excellent depending on the speaker.
Autonomy and battery
Some Bluetooth speakers work with a rechargeable battery. The autonomy can be more or less important, generally ranging from 4 to 12 hours. They can be recharged with an AC outlet or a USB cable. Some can also be operated with batteries.
Range
The range of a Bluetooth speaker is 10 meters maximum. If this distance is exceeded, the sound saturates and ends up cutting off.
