How do I choose a wireless Bluetooth Boombox?
When choosing a Bluetooth device, it comes down to size and price. If you’re looking for an ultra-portable device, you’ll want something quite small, but remember that smaller speakers typically produce less sound and bass than larger speakers. There are plenty of small Bluetooth speakers that deliver bigger sound than you might expect, but they have their audio limitations. For many people, it’s about finding a boom box that’s not too big or too small – one that moves well but is also able to produce good sound for its size. Finding the best wireless Bluetooth device also depends on your budget.
Price can be a limiting factor. You may not want to spend $300 or more for a boom box. Fortunately, there are plenty of good options in the $200 range, and some decent wireless Bluetooth boxes can cost less than $100. Also, some of the “value” brands that sell primarily on Amazon are highly noteworthy because they offer a lot for the money.
How do I connect a wireless Bluetooth device to my TV?
Well, first of all, you need a TV, video streaming device, set-top cable, or Bluetooth-enabled satellite receiver. You can connect a Bluetooth arm box just like you would Bluetooth earbuds: through the Bluetooth settings menu on your TV or those devices mentioned above (the Apple TV, for example, has Bluetooth connectivity, which makes it easy to connect your AirPods).
The only problem with connecting a Bluetooth arm box to your TV is that there may be some audio and video sync issues due to Bluetooth lag. In some cases, where your Bluetooth boom box has an audio input (a few high-end Bluetooth boom boxes have digital audio inputs), you can use a wired connection to the soundbar via the audio outputs on your TV.
Soundbars tend to use the optical connection or HDMI connection on your TV to get the sound. Many soundbars have a Bluetooth option so you can wirelessly stream music from your phone to the soundbar.
Can bluetooth arm boxes connect to multiple devices at once?
If you’re looking to turn up the volume on your box, many brands have developed threaded technology that allows the user to connect multiple speakers and streaming boxes together. JBL, for example, offers Connect+ and PartyBoost technology that can wirelessly link different JBL products to amplify sound. A similar technology, Bose’s SimpleSync, allows listeners to connect two Bose speakers simultaneously. Consider these techniques if you’re hoping to upgrade your sound.
If you’re hoping your Boombox will remember multiple devices, many Bluetooth wireless Boomboxes use what’s called “multi-pair” or “multi-point” technology. This feature allows you to easily switch between connected devices, but the exact number that can be connected at one time varies by model. If this is the feature you are looking for, be sure to check the “multi-point” technology in the lift box specifications.
