Five Bluetooth audio speakers worth your money

Bluetooth speakers have come a long way since its inception. Gone are the days of crackling audio and annoying lag while streaming. Today’s crop of Bluetooth speakers feature a robust feature set with very good audio fidelity. Here’s a look at five good Bluetooth speakers that are worth your time.   Jabra Solemate mini [caption id=“attachment_223040” align=“aligncenter” width=“640”]  Lightweight, rugged, has very good sound quality[/caption] Priced as low as Rs 3,500, the Jabra Solemate mini is a good buy and perfect gift. It’s lightweight, rugged, has very good sound quality, NFC support and decent battery life. It is easily one of the most feature-packed Bluetooth speakers in this price range that’s backed up by good audio quality. The one thing that could have made it even better is the ability to pair multiple devices at the same time, and also a more sensitive microphone for voice calls.

Just don’t go blasting your music and you should be fine. For a first attempt, we say Cowon did a pretty good job with the design and features aspect of the speaker. The audio quality is also good for a Bluetooth speaker but take the volume above 80 percent and the audio quality gets questionable.

While this is still a bit steep for a pair of 2.0 speakers, it’s not too bad when you take into account the good audio quality, the ability to pair with multiple devices and the fact that they are lifestyle speakers. Our biggest gripe is the fact that it lacks punch at the lower frequency range.

The circular, removable portable speaker can be detached from the docking station. Priced at Rs 14,990, the device comes equipped with built in Bluetooth streaming and five hour battery life. It is a complete 2.1 system with dual drivers and hard-hitting subwoofer.

The main attraction of the Airwave HD is the ability to pair and stream audio via NFC and Bluetooth from multiple devices. The speaker lets you pair two Bluetooth stereo devices to it simultaneously, and it works on a turn-by-turn system. It comes with a decent feature, but slightly mediocre sound quality.
