New Delhi, Oct. 17 -- No outdoors getaway or party is complete without the right set of tracks setting the mood. Sure you can play songs on your smartphone, but that is often not enough especially when you are out with a group of friends or family members. This is where a compact Bluetooth speaker becomes important. The right speaker that is somewhat light in weight, is easy to carry, last long enough between charges and sound good for its size is what you need to on road trips or at picnics. That said, buying the smallest or cheapest model does not always guarantee a satisfying listening experience. Some compact speakers prioritise portability over battery life, while others offer longer playback but take up more space in your bag.
