Larger speakers typically produce better sound than smaller speakers.

The more sound channels there are, the more realistic the experience becomes.

Audio output power is based on the number of speakers and their power in watts. High audio output power results in loud, clear tones.

aptX is a codec used for wireless audio transmission using Bluetooth. Developed by Qualcomm, it supports 16-bit audio with a bitrate of 384 kbps.

aptx Adaptive is an audio codec for Bluetooth devices developed by Qualcomm. It has a variable bitrate (between 279kbps and 420kbps) which means it can adjust the bitrate for different scenarios such as: B. listening to HD audio or reducing interference from other devices.

AAC is a codec used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250 kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can deliver better results than other codecs at a similar bitrate.

The lowest frequency at which the device produces audio. The lower the bass range, the stronger and juicier the bass.

The highest frequency at which the device produces audio. The higher the high frequency response, the clearer and crisper the highs.

HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) transmits audio over HDMI. ARC can only handle compressed 5.1 audio, but eARC has a higher bandwidth and can carry uncompressed 7.1 audio, as well as formats like DTS:X and Dolby Atmos at full bitrate.

It is compatible with Google Assistant, so you can use voice commands to control the device from other Google Assistant compatible devices.

It is compatible with Amazon's Alexa voice assistant, so you can use voice commands to control the device from other Alexa-compatible devices.

Spotify Connect allows you to control the music playing on the speaker from the Spotify app on another device (if the devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network).

Dolby Atmos is a surround sound technology that allows sounds to be interpreted as three-dimensional objects. In this way, Dolby Atmos enables immersive 360-degree sound.

DTS:X is an object-based surround sound technology that allows filmmakers to place and move custom sounds around your listening space to bring you an audiovisual listening experience.

Chromecast built-in is a technology that allows users to stream entertainment and apps from their phone, tablet, or laptop directly to the Chromecast-enabled device.

It's compatible with Apple's voice assistant, Siri, so you can use voice commands to control the device from other Apple HomeKit-compatible devices.

AirPlay allows Apple devices to wirelessly connect to external displays or speakers. You can stream computer screens, videos and music from iOS devices, play games like on consoles or easily present your slideshows on your TV.

An Auxiliary input allows you to play other audio sources by connecting them through a simple audio connection such as a 3.5mm jack, e.g. B. for MP3 or portable DVD/CD players.

More HDMI ports means you can connect numerous devices like video game consoles and set-top boxes at the same time.

Devices with an HDMI or mini-HDMI connector can transmit high-resolution video and audio to a display.

Newer versions of HDMI support higher bandwidth, allowing for higher resolutions and frame rates.

Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data transmission between devices in close proximity using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Newer versions offer faster data transfers.

Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows you to easily transfer data between different devices such as smartphones, tablets and computers.

The device can connect to WiFi.

The Wi-Fi versions supported by the device.

RJ-45 ports are used for local area network (LAN) connections. With more ports, you can achieve higher bandwidth over a LAN or connect to multiple networks. It also has the added benefit of not losing connection to the network if one goes down.

Volume is the amount of three-dimensional space enclosed by the product's chassis, or more simply, the space occupied by the product.

You can use your voice to control important functions of the device and you can easily access your device without pressing any button.

There is a control panel on the device body so you can easily access the volume control or remote control without having to interact with a cable or other device it is connected to.

With a remote control you can control the device remotely. The remote control can be included or optional.

The remote control is rechargeable, so you don't have to worry about replacing the batteries.

There is a dedicated smartphone app designed for use with the device.

More microphones result in better sound quality and allow the device to filter out background noise.

The thickness (or depth) of the product.

We think lighter weight is better as lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. Lighter weight is also an advantage for household appliances, as it makes it easier to transport, and for many other types of products.
