5 cool things you didn’t know your speakers could do

Connect to your TV or other devices

You can connect your speakers to your TV or other devices for a better sound experience. Whether you’re watching a movie, playing the latest video game, or dancing to your favourite songs, if your TV’s speakers aren’t great, pairing it with an external speaker could do wonders.

Play audiobooks

Do you love to get lost in a good book, but don’t have the time to sit and read one? You can listen to your favourite books on your speakers. Connect your speakers to any audiobook streaming service via your smartphone and you can get started within a few taps. Listening to your audiobooks on your speakers could be productive when you have chores like laundry or cleaning lined up.

Take calls

If your speaker qualifies as a smart speaker, it also has a microphone built-in, allowing for two-way audio communication. Some other non-smart speakers also come with microphones. You’d be amazed to know that these speakers are also capable of taking your calls hands-free. This is great for when you need to multitask while talking on the phone, or if you’re using a Bluetooth headset and don’t want to wear it all day.

Set up multi-room audio system

Surprising as it may be your home audio studio can be easily connected to other speakers throughout the house. You don’t need any cables or extra wiring to get a multi-room audio system— just add some extra speakers and you can listen to the same song in multiple rooms. Of course, you will need speakers that support this feature to proceed.

Use as a home theatre system

With the right setup, you can turn your speakers into a DIY home theatre system. All you’ll need is a TV, a receiver for the system, and your speakers for the surround sound effects. Once set up, you can connect the TV to the receiver. You will then need to connect your speakers and adjust their settings as well, so that sound from all directions is heard accurately.
