Bathroom singer? Take a look at these wireless speakers for using in showers.Should you opt for the JBL Flip 5? Click to see how it stacks up against the UE Boom 3.
1. Avantree Torpedo Plus
The battery life is fairly decent. When fully charged, you will get a battery life of around 7 hours on moderate volumes, while charging the device up to 100% will take around 3 hours. This speaker has been received well by several users, with people liking it for its portability and easy-to-use nature.
2. Fugoo Sport 2
What’s more, the Fugoo Sport is loud and is clearly meant for outdoor use. In fact, it has a Loud Mode as well, should you want to blast it at its peak. And that’s not the end of the story. This rugged speaker claims to have a battery life of around 40 hours, enough to see you through weeks of playback. As you may have expected, it does take its own sweet time to get fully charged. Overall, it bundles an attractive design and it couples it with long battery life and a balanced sound output, at least for the price.
3. Marshall Stanmore II
The good thing about this speaker is that bass lovers won’t be disappointed with it. It’s intense, and the ability to increase it further adds to the charms of this speaker. And if that was not enough, the companion app also lets you tweak the equalizer further. In short, the Stanmore II warrants plenty of customization. Apart from the Bluetooth 5.0 connection and the aptX Bluetooth codec, this Marshall speaker also comes with Wi-Fi on board and voice assistant support (Google Assistant or Alexa), and a 3.5mm aux port at the top. However, the Marshall Stanmore II is not a wireless Bluetooth speaker in the strictest sense. With a massive 20000mAh battery, and slightly bigger dimensions will prevent you from carrying it around like a portable speaker. But if you can look past that, the Stanmore II sports a classic look and amps up the surroundings.
4. Bowers & Wilkins T7
You might find it difficult to describe T7’s design with words. The honeycomb dampener around the speaker and the thick rubber on the sides keeps the speaker from rattling around when you blast your favorite music. Besides the seamless Bluetooth connectivity, you can also make use of the 3.5mm audio port, should you want to go the wired route. Oddly enough, the T7 doesn’t let you charge over USB, even though it has a micro-USB port. The said port is usable only for firmware upgrades. So, how do you power the Bowers & Wilkins T7? The old fashioned way. The company ships a wall adapter with it to top up the battery whenever needed. Apart from the above, the T7 has its share of shortcomings. There’s no IP rating, meaning you will have to take your chances if you take it along with you to a pool party or a beach outing.
Make Way for Immersive Audio
The thing with Qualcomm aptX is that the source device has to be compatible as well. So, if the paired device has the default Bluetooth codec as SBC, the speaker won’t be able to use the advantages of aptX even though it supports the said codec. So, before you tap on the Play button, do make sure that your phone has the Bluetooth coded selected as aptX in the Developer’s option under Settings.
