Design
A speaker driver is an individual transducer that converts electrical energy to sound waves. More drivers may result in better sound quality.
There is a control panel on the device body, so you can easily access the volume control or remote without having to interact with a cable or another device it's connected to.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device. Bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
The device is protected with extra seals to prevent failures caused by dust, raindrops, and water splashes.
The device is dustproof and water-resistant. Water-resistant devices can resist the penetration of water, such as powerful water jets, but not being submerged into water.
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
Sound quality
Devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better experience.
The lowest frequency at which the device produces audio. The lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
Devices with a subwoofer have a higher quality, deeper bass.
A passive radiator is a type of driver (speaker) that doesn't have a voice coil and a magnet. The sound vibrations produced by a passive radiator depend on its mass and the size of its enclosure. It is usually used in combination with a woofer to produce deep bass tones.
The highest frequency at which device produces audio. The higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
These microphones are designed to filter out background noise from the desired sound. Especially useful in noisy environments.
Power
The battery can be recharged and used over again.
An indicator shows you when the device has low battery.
The manufacturer offers a branded wireless charging kit. To charge the device, you simply put it down on its charging base.
Connectivity
An auxiliary input allows you to play other audio sources by connecting them through a simple audio connection like a 3.5mm jack, i.e for MP3 or portable DVD/CD player.
The device can connect to Wi-Fi.
With a standard mini jack socket, you can use the device with most headphones.
Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) is a wireless standard released in 2009. It has faster transfer rates and improved security compared to its predecessors – a, b, and g.
802.11ac wireless works on the 5GHz frequency range. It offers higher transfer rates, improved reliability, and improved power consumption. It provides advantages for gaming and HD video streaming.
Features
Wireless devices allow users more freedom of movement.
This technology allows the users to use their smartphone as a remote control for the device.
The device has an option to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the device.
You can use your voice to control key functions of the device and you can easily access your device without pushing any button.
With voice prompts, you will automatically receive information via audio messages – for instance, you may find out that the battery is running low, and it's time to recharge the device.
