Special features: Bluetooth speakers may offer extra features, including speakerphone capability, multi-speaker pairing (the ability to play the same material through two Bluetooth speakers at once), and built-in lighting.The sonic differences among these codecs are insignificant next to the easily heard differences among the speakers themselves. Bluetooth codecs: We don’t award extra points for inclusion of additional Bluetooth codecs beyond the standard SBC codec found in all Bluetooth devices.Playback controls: Because you can control the playback from your Bluetooth source device (usually a phone or tablet), we don’t require the speaker itself to have playback controls, but it’s a convenient perk.Less-expensive models often don’t sound better or play much louder than a phone’s built-in speakers. We prefer speakers with an Ingress Protection (IP) rating, which tells you exactly how waterproof and dustproof a speaker is.
