I upgraded my Bluetooth speakers instead of replacing them - 5 creative ways
You don't need to buy expensive smart speakers to enhance your home audio setup; creative upgrades can extend the functionality of existing Bluetooth speakers. Options include connecting speakers directly to a TV via Bluetooth or using wired connections for a makeshift audio system. These solutions are low-cost, often under $90, and can improve convenience without sacrificing too much audio quality.
- ▪You can connect a Bluetooth speaker directly to your TV if it has native Bluetooth or through a streaming device like Apple TV 4K, Amazon Fire TV, Roku, or Google Chromecast.
- ▪If your TV and speaker have line-out and line-in ports, you can wire them together to create a makeshift center audio channel.
- ▪Using a Bluetooth dongle can enable wireless audio pairing for TVs without built-in Bluetooth.
- ▪Some users may experience audio lag when pairing Bluetooth speakers with TVs, which can affect synchronization with video.
- ▪These upgrade methods cost little or nothing and can avoid the need to purchase smart speakers that start at $200.
