The wireless speaker is mobile and easy to use. You can use a wireless speaker when working with a computer, TV, smartphone or tablet. In this article you will learn how to connect a Bluetooth speaker to your laptop or computer.
Ways to connect
There are two ways to connect your speaker to your laptop or computer:
- Wired.
- Wireless.
A wired connection uses a cable where one end of the plug connects to the device and the other to the speaker. This option provides the fastest and most reliable connection, but limits mobility. This connection is possible as long as there is an audio output on the speaker.
Wireless connection is through the Bluetooth protocol. A Bluetooth module is required for connection, and the initial connection requires pairing with the device. It takes some time to connect, and signal loss may occur if there is interference. But the wireless connection does not limit mobility.
