How to Choose a Speakers

These are some aspects to consider if you are thinking on getting some new speakers. Take that in mind. Purchase wisely.

  • The most important issue is what you hear. 
There are several design approaches which can give good performance, so the best test is sound quality at your ears. Take some music you know well and has been well-recorded to the store, and listen critically, not merely 'to the music'. 
Do drums sound like they do in real life. Can you hear the bass guitar play actual distinct notes or does the performance sound like a series of undifferentiated thumps? 
Do voices sound like actual voices or like electronically changed ones? 



  • What else is in the room?
The space you'll place your speakers will affect the sound quality. Hard surfaces like windows and wood floors will reverberate sound, which can distort the audio by amplifying your speaker power or canceling out the sound. In this cases, more power will give us a better experience.


  • Portable speakers 
They offer you placement flexibility, so you can enjoy music in any room, while traveling or at an outdoor party. Some portable speakers also feature a rechargeable battery, so you don't need to be near an outlet to listen, making it even easier to take your music on-the-go. Check also Bluetooth enabled media devices. 




  • Rap on the speaker enclosure
If it vibrates or rings, or sounds flimsy, it is probably of poor quality, and you should look even more carefully. This is most important at low frequencies, so the enclosure for the bass drivers should always be solidly constructed. 'Satellite' enclosures for higher frequency drivers should also be, but may give good performance if more lightly built.
