Decisions, Decisions

Imagine heading out for a camping trip, beach day, or hiking adventure and being able to blast your favorite tunes wirelessly. Portable Bluetooth speakers, also called Bluetooth portable speakers, can make all the difference when it comes to creating the right vibe outdoors. But with so many options out there, how do you find the one that fits your needs?
Key features to look for in portable Bluetooth speakers
Battery life
A long battery life is a must, especially if you're planning a weekend trip with limited charging options. Some portable Bluetooth speakers offer up to 20 hours of playtime on a single charge, ensuring your music lasts as long as your adventure does.
Waterproof and dustproof rating
When heading to the beach or the outdoors, weatherproofing matters. Look for speakers with high IP ratings (like IP67) to protect against rain, dust, or even accidental drops in water. Australian weather can be unpredictable, so it's better to be safe than sorry.
Portability
Lightweight designs and carrying handles on large Bluetooth speakers make a world of difference when moving from one location to another. Additionally, some of these portable speakers even come with straps or built-in wheels for easier transport.
Connectivity options
Bluetooth versions affect range and reliability, so opt for the latest Bluetooth 5.0 or above for a stable connection. Bluetooth speakers having multiple options like AUX input and USB ports give you flexibility for wired devices and charging on the go.

Common mistakes when buying Bluetooth portable speakers
FIgnoring waterproof ratings
* Without a proper waterproof rating, your speaker might not survive a day by the pool or beach. Look for models with IP ratings to keep them safe from water and dust.
Choosing low battery capacity
* A short battery capacity on portable speakers can be extremely frustrating, especially if you’re on a long hike or camping trip with no power outlets in sight.
Overlooking sound quality for portability
* While small speakers are easy to carry, they may lack the power to deliver clear sound in open spaces. Make sure the model you choose offers portability and great sound.
Not checking Bluetooth range
* Nothing’s worse than your music cutting out because you’ve wandered too far. A speaker with a strong Bluetooth connection will ensure smooth playback, even at a distance.
