Bluetooth Speaker Ultimate Buying Guide

Bluetooth speakers come with a long list of speakers, and for laymen, it can be challenging to figure out which ones are important and which ones are not. Through our years testing musical equipment and speakers, we know first hand which ones are essential. In our review, we focused on these features, and you should too when you purchase your speaker.

1. Sound Quality - The most obvious is sound quality. Since most Bluetooth speakers are small, they lack power, so you should be extra careful with this aspect. Pay attention to the frequency. Speakers feature a lower and top frequency-For instance, 100-20 kHz where 20 is the top frequency, and 100 is the bottom frequency. The top frequency isn’t very important, but the bottom indicates bass-the lower, the better. However, don't just depend on paper specifications. Do your research, and it's best if you can test the speaker in-store.

2. Build-Quality - Build-quality is another critical factor. Ensure that it’s constructed of durable materials so that you can use them for years to come. Especially for use in a factory, durability is essential as it's tough to prevent the occasional slips and falls. We highly recommend you to get a Bluetooth speaker that's waterproof and dustproof to protect it from unexpected environmental conditions. For this, pay attention to the certifications.

3. Battery Backup - If you want uninterrupted music playback, battery backup is an important consideration. In most cases, most portable Bluetooth speakers come with 8 hours of playback. However, some higher-end models support up to 24 hours of playback on a single charge. Further, you should also focus on how long it takes for the speaker to charge up. The larger the battery, the more time it'll take. In general, it takes about 3 hours for a Bluetooth speaker to get fully charge. Anything lower than that is impressive.

4. Portability - Portability is another essential feature. In most cases, you'll be working around the factory, and you'll probably want to carry your speaker along with you, and that's why portability is important. Ensure that your speaker sports a compact design and is lightweight. Additionally, we highly recommend you to get one that comes with a carrying handle or wheels if it's a large-sized Bluetooth speaker.

5. Price - Ultimately it may come down to your budget. The more features your speaker has, the more expensive it'll be. However, there's no need for you to spend money on a speaker packed with tons of features that you won't even be using. For instance, if you won’t be using your speaker to charge your cell phones, there’s no need to get one that does. As a general rule of thumb, purchase the speaker with the most features within your budget.

6. Factory Noise - If you’re working in a factory, you’ll most likely be surrounded by loud noises that can muffle even the loudest of speakers. As a result, you need to invest in a Bluetooth speaker that can outperform the noises emitting from your factory. For this, the volume is the main consideration. The louder the volume, the better. Additionally, some speakersallow you to pair multiple speakers for producing one massive sound; we highly recommend you get a speaker with this feature.

Final Verdict

This brings us to the end of our list of the best Bluetooth speakers for factory workers. They are all fantastic units, and they made it to our list due to their durability, portability, volume, and sound quality. However, if we had to pick the ultimate winner, it'll be the JBL Xtreme 2 due to its design, features, and sound quality. On the other hand, if you're looking for a budget option, the Soundcore Motion Boom Outdoor Speaker is an excellent value for money. Ultimately, it’ll come down to your requirements.
