How to Choose a Ball Shaped Mini Speaker

Whether it is for a game, educational purpose, or general audience, buyers should ensure that the speaker can connect to a variety of devices. Those can include laptop speakers, phones, tablets, PCs, and other Bluetooth-compatible devices. Typically, many ball-shaped speakers in the market use Bluetooth technology for wireless connectivity.

In most cases, the mini speakers have a Bluetooth range of about 10 meters. However, there are some that have a longer range. Speaking of which, users need to ensure that the speaker can connect to other devices without any challenges. Besides Bluetooth connectivity, some ball-shaped speakers tend to come with additional connectivity options. These are the AUX cable and NFC technology. The AUX cable connects to non-Bluetooth devices, while the NFC technology makes it easy to pair devices.

In order to deliver quality sound, buyers should consider the ball-shaped speaker with high-performance drivers. Drivers that are well balanced within the speaker are capable of producing better sound with clear bass.

As mentioned earlier, the speakers can come in a variety of sizes. Preferably, buyers should purchase mini speakers that are portable and user-friendly. The size of the speaker will, of course, determine its portability. Users should also look out for features such as a charging indicator, on-off button, and pairing indicator, which will make the speaker easy to use.

Prior to purchasing a ball-shaped speaker, buyers should be aware of the battery life. If possible, they should choose speakers with longer battery life. Generally, mini speakers take up to four hours to charge. Once fully charged, one can use it for several hours depending on the battery capacity.

Another factor to consider is the build quality of the mini speaker. Many ball-shaped speakers tend to have an aluminum or ABS plastic casing. Both are durable and can withstand the impact of a drop. Some speakers come with a silicone rubber bumper for added protection. Additionally, buyers can get ball-shaped speakers with water-resistant materials. These are useful in case the speaker gets exposed to water or accidental splashes.

Buyers should consider the overall quality and clarity of the speaker's sound. Also, they should choose speakers with enhanced acoustic design in order to provide satisfactory sound. That is to say, the speakers should have good bass response.
