A smartphone will be able to output audio through its built-in speakers, but it'll be useless if you want to throw a party, listen to your favourite songs in the garden or even in the shower.
Bluetooth speakers provide a much-needed upgrade. They're easy to pair with any Bluetooth-enabled device, such as your smartphone. So no matter if you're on Android or iOS, you can drastically improve your listening experience with one wirelessly connected.
