Bluetooth speakers in 2020 are unexpectedly smart gizmos

If the characteristics of the speakers vary from model to model, then the software "chips" arrivein

For example, new models are becoming not just an external speaker (I can play, I can not play), but smart devices — now they sometimes include the voice assistant Alice.It remains to be seen if there is anything new in terms of sound, body and autonomy.That's why we took one of the newest Bluetooth speakers of 2020, the JBL Link Music and the JBL Link Portable, for a test and tested what it couldTo surprise a class of devices from which no one expects anything anymore.Some things made me very happy.

The quarantine is over, people are almost completelycrawled out of their homes, and someone went on vacation to nature or to the sea. If earlier, for the entourage of such trips, it was customary to carry a tape recorder with you or turn on the sound as loud as possible from the shaking speakers in the luggage compartment of the "nine", now both in terms of power and convenience all this has been replaced by Bluetooth speakers.
