Wireless Bluetooth Speaker

[March-Hare]

Please excuse my ignorance - but how to these wireless Bluetooth speakers work? Can I connect it via Bluetooth to a laptop and then play music from Spotify through the speaker in my garden? What's the range? Is the Dr Dre Pill speaker any good?

TIA

Never used them but sure, they will be streaming music data from your PC or whatever to the speaker using an established bluetooth connection.

I assume they come with a suitable PC application to send the music to the bluetooth.

Yes - you just pair the Bluetooth Speaker with the music source i.e. PC laptop or iPod or your phone via the bluetooth.
The range depends on the quality of the speaker signal and the distance between the two devices which varies between issues like solid walls or interference. As you will be using your laptop this can be moved closer to the speaker for better connectivity where range isn't an issue then.

As for the Dr Dre Pill speaker - it's okay as a basic speaker but there are better speakers out there for the money. I have a Cambridge Audio GO purchased from Richer Sounds which I think is brilliant and meets my expectations.

I don't work for Richer Sounds and there are other speakers and retailers

Always try a demo first before you purchase any speaker to see if you like it.
