You might have gathered that. What that really means is that we love music and we really want it to sound as good as it possibly can. We now write about all manner of products that play music. Indeed, where once stereo speakers, an amplifier and a CD player or turntable was a prerequisite for a music system, now you can do it all and more with a single wireless speaker.
And many of them are very good, not to mention far more convenient and affordable than any traditional system. There are still many reasons why a stereo system makes so much more sense. Please, allow us to elaborate. You like music, right? So why not hear it sounding as good as it should? The sum of the parts will almost always deliver better - and better-value - sound than a similarly priced wireless speaker can muster.
Each box is a master of its trade, rather than a jack of all trades, the latter always requiring a compromise somewhere. From stereo separation to stereo imaging, Class D amplifiers to the limits of smaller boxes, the technical reasons are myriad but the end result is the same: when it comes to sound quality, a stereo system is very hard for a one-box wireless speaker to beat. As we write, it just so happens that Spotify is down.
Plan on using wired headphones to do your high-quality music listening. Also, a lot of phones are jackless now although there are still some left. In this case you need a digital-to-analog converter, known as a DAC. Another option is to bypass the phone entirely and use Wi-Fi speakers. In this case, the speaker will pull in the music from the internet itself without using Bluetooth.
Make sure the speaker you select supports the high quality streaming service you want to use. The music is the next piece of the puzzle. The number of streaming music services that offer high-quality, lossless streaming is growing. Spotify adding a hi-fi streaming tier in means that most major music platforms offer this option to listeners.
Tidal is one of the most well known lossless streamers because it used high audio quality to differentiate itself from the beginning. Amazon Music chooses to use the same terminology as video, ideally to help consumers differentiate between higher and lower quality.
With Wi-Fi streaming , the connection between the storage location and the loudspeaker is always via the home network. In order for the speakers and players to be able to dial into such a network, Wi-Fi must be available. This device only controls the connection.
Compared to the permanent Bluetooth connection, the battery is used less. As long as the streaming devices are connected to the home network, the data transfer works. As a rule, the connection is thus guaranteed throughout the entire living area. This means even if the playback device and the loudspeaker are not in the same room.
Bluetooth reaches its limits faster in terms of range. The standard also transmits signals through walls. However, the maximum range for a stable audio channel is 10 metres. To start pairing, a button on the loudspeaker must usually be pressed first. Unless it is equipped with NFC; in this case, it is sufficient to place the smartphone or tablet on the marked area to initiate the connection. The audio stream between devices in the home network must be controlled by a streaming architecture.
The network speakers are usually controlled via an app.
