Review of popular Bluetooth speakers: choosing the best model of 2020

Modern gadgets have a built-in Bluetooth system, which allows you to transfer information at high speed without wires. It is very convenient and practical.The editorial staff of "bestx.htgetrid.com/en/" offers you an overview of the best Bluetooth speakers in 2020.

How the system works

Bluetooth has long entered the modern life of every person. This technology is used in all modern gadgets. A wireless data transmission system connects devices to each other and transmits various information at a certain distance (up to 10 m).

In addition, with the advent of Bluetooth technology, it became possible to influence devices by controlling them, and you can also create a voice connection. So at a certain distance they control printers and scanners, use headphones and a headset without a wire.

Bluetooth technology was named after the King of Denmark, Harald Bluetooth (translated as “blue tooth”), who united Denmark and Norway (900 years). In this system, the principle of combining devices is also laid, in which information and files are exchanged.

There are many different possibilities here. You can transfer certain data through a module that is built into both the phone and the headphones. With their help, you can connect to a mobile gadget and create a voice connection.
Remote control allows you to control the printing process using a printer, TV, etc. The system has another function: it transmits sounds to the speaker system (speakers).

Functional features

Remote control allows you to control the printing process using a printer, TV, etc. The system has another function: it transmits sounds to the speaker system (speakers).

Two functions are distinguished here:

• Headset - participates in the transmission of sounds from the phone;
• A2DP - transfers music.

Each of these systems must be equipped with an adapter that allows them to be used for their own purposes. The adapter acts as a digital-to-analog converter and transfers it to another similar communication module using radio waves. It receives radio waves and converts them into a digital signal (data "bytes").

They use the ISM range, which anyone can use. After all, a license is not required to use it.

The adapter is a small board with a chip. Due to its tiny size, it fits into a USB device smaller than a USB flash drive. The Bluetooth system is marked with blue teeth.

Data transmission: types of speed mode

The development of a wireless data transmission system has been carried out since 1994. From that time to the present day, the technology has undergone improvements and changes. The first version 1.1 had a high-speed mode of downloading information of 721 kbit / s, the actual speed was not higher than 90 kbit / s. With the second version, it became possible to transfer data at a speed of 2 Mbit / s (with a download of 250 kbit / s).

Version 3.0 had a high speed of 24 MB / s (with 3 MB / s download). Later, the fourth generation technology 4.0 appears at the speed of the third version. The emphasis was on reducing power consumption and increasing the range.Thanks to this, the latest version is perfectly used in gadgets.

Since 2007, a new feature has been added in technology 2.1: extended request for device characteristics. In this case, when pairing, additional filtering of the list appears. This innovation allows you to save energy ("Sniff Sobrating" technology) and increase the operating time of devices by 3-10 times on one battery charge. This certification also helps to simplify and speed up communication between 2 devices. This makes it possible to update the encryption key without breaking the connection, while maintaining their protection (technology "Near Field Communication").

Improved version

Since August 2008, the Bluetooth version SIG 2.1 + EDR has appeared. This technology can reduce power consumption by 5 times, increase the security level of data, make it easier to recognize and connect Bluetooth devices by reducing the number of steps (they are used to connect).

The special version of Bluetooth 4.0 from 2010 is the Bluetooth protocol:

• classic mode (based on previous versions);
• high-speed (based - Wi-Fi);
• mode with the lowest power consumption (special operation algorithm: turning on the sensor at the time of information transfer).

The new version establishes a connection in less than 5 milliseconds, while it can support a distance of up to 100 meters. An advanced error correction system works here, the necessary level of security is maintained, providing 128-Bit AES encryption.

Based on the latest technology, data on temperature, pressure, humidity and speed of movement can be transmitted to various monitoring devices: phones, PDAs, PCs, etc.
