How to choose new speakers
Getting into the world of home audio for the first time can be intimidating. Even more than other areas of tech, home audio can be full of jargon, complex concepts, and extremely expensive hardware that can be off-putting to the new buyer. But don’t fret! You can find great speakers to meet your needs within your budget, as long as you do some research and preparation beforehand. With Prime Day sales in full swing, you’ll be able to save even more on your new purchase.
The first thing you need to identify is what you want your speakers for. Are you looking to boost the audio from your TV to make movie watching more enjoyable? Do you want to listen to crystal-clear music in your living room? Are you looking for some extra oomph in the bass in your car? Each of these will require a different audio solution.
Also, be realistic about what level of audio quality you’re looking for. If you simply want slightly better sound from your TV, you might be happy with a soundbar. If you’re hoping for a full-blown home cinema experience, you’ll need a full set of speakers.
In general, the larger the space you’re trying to fill, the more powerful speakers you’ll need. You’ll also need to plan out how much space you are willing to give over to speakers, as they can come in sizes from a discreet bookshelf speaker to a huge standing speaker. And you might want to consider how different styles of speakers will fit into your decor, especially if you live with family or housemates who might not be as wild about you as having speakers all over the living room!
A technical aspect to consider when purchasing your speakers is to make sure they are compatible with your other home audio components like your receiver or amplifier. Not every amp can drive every pair of speakers, so look out for a measure of load, shown in ohms. Make sure this is compatible with your amp. You’ll also find another measurement on speakers called sensitivity, which shows how loud speakers will be per watt.
And yet another component you should consider is a subwoofer. Speakers can sound great, but they’ll often need a subwoofer to bring out the bass — especially if you like watching action movies or listening to bass-heavy music. You can make this task easier on yourself by looking for bundles of speakers that come with a subwoofer, which you can be sure will match and sound good together.
If all of this is sounding a bit technical for you, then there are easier options available. If you don’t want to get into the nitty-gritty of home audio and you’re just looking for something to play occasional tunes in your kitchen, you can look for speakers that don’t need an amplifier. These are often called computer speakers, but you might also see them referred to as powered speakers or multimedia speakers. These are dead easy to use and are often a cheaper solution, though there are high-end options available as well.
And don’t forget, for TV audio, a soundbar or a soundbase are great solutions for improving audio without taking up a lot of space or requiring any technical knowledge. Just plug them in and you’re good to go. Whatever type of speaker you’re after, take a look through the Prime Day speaker deals and you’re sure to score yourself a bargain.
