Definition: Bluetooth speaker
An amplifier and loudspeaker with Bluetooth connectivity that is paired with (connected to) one or more mobile devices, tablets or computers. Available in all sizes, including replaceable battery and rechargeable models, as well as wall-powered units, the Bluetooth speaker receives digital audio streams from the host device, which are typically compressed. It then decompresses, decodes and amplifies the audio through the built-in speakers. See Bluetooth audio and Bluetooth pairing.
