• Connectivity matters: Bluetooth is fine for casual use; Wi‑Fi, AirPlay or Chromecast provide higher‑quality streaming and multiroom support.
• Consider features: Waterproofing for outdoor use, battery life for portability, and voice assistant support for hands‑free control.
• Verify true price lows: Use price trackers and compare retailers — some colors or bundles can be cheaper than the headline model.
