Bose Portable Speakers

Learning About Bose Bluetooth Speakers

Bose Bluetooth speakers deliver impeccable sound at home and on the go. They come in different sizes, ranging from tiny units for personal listening sessions to big home entertainment models that deliver room-filling stereo sound. These wireless audio devices are ideal for both outdoor and indoor use. You can stream audio to them from Bluetooth-enabled devices, including smartphones, tablets, computers, and portable media players.

Types of Bose Bluetooth Speakers

The smallest Bose speakers are its SoundLink Mini and Micro models. These ultra-compact mobile Bluetooth speakers have built-in rechargeable batteries and produce remarkably loud and clear sounds. While they're both portable devices, a Bose SoundLink Mini Bluetooth speaker is bigger than a Micro unit. Bose also makes wearable Bluetooth speakers. They're collar-shaped, battery-powered wireless devices you can wear around your neck.

For richer sounds, opt for Bose stereo speakers. These Bose portable speakers and traditional speakers have two drivers housed in separate units, to add depth to your music. Their multi-directional sound outputs make them great as computer speakers and for outdoor parties. Bose also has Bluetooth models among its portable PA and home theater systems.

Bose Wireless Speaker Wattage

While higher wattage delivers louder sound, watt is a measure of electrical power and not loudness. The wattage of a speaker is the amount of electrical power it can handle without sustaining damage. A 20-watt Bose SoundLink Bluetooth speaker is more powerful and sounds louder at maximum volume than a 10-watt model. Home entertainment systems and live sound speakers have bigger sound drivers and amplifiers with power outputs in hundreds and thousands of watts. Note that manufacturers can specify RMS or peak power outputs. RMS, or nominal power, is the power a speaker can continuously use without damage, while peak power is a higher input the speaker can only handle in short bursts.

Bose Bluetooth Speaker Features

If you plan take your portable speakers to the beach or pool, make sure they're, at the very least, water-resistant. To prevent water damage entirely, choose a Bose wireless waterproof speaker. This has a rugged build suitable for outdoor adventures and can survive rain and brief immersion in water. For units you wish to leave out on your porch, by the pool, or on a boat, consider Bose outdoor speakers. These stereo speakers have weather-resistant shells and can survive rain, sun, snow, and seawater spray.

One optional feature to look for in Bluetooth speakers is a hands-free speakerphone function. Models with this capability have built-in microphones and let you take phone calls. They also seamlessly switch between music playback and incoming voice calls. Other key features to consider are battery life, USB ports for charging the speaker or your smartphone, NFC for quick wireless pairing, and 3.5mm audio input for connecting non-Bluetooth audio sources.
