How to Get Better Music Quality from Your Existing Speakers
If you want to listen to music with better quality, you have to buy better speakers, right?
Wrong. When I learnt to use my speakers better, they sounded much better. I had no idea these budget speakers from 2005 were capable of such quality.
Here’s what to do:
Sit on the sofa and listen. Don’t walk around, because the music quality won’t be as good.
Use a wired connection if possible, AirPlay otherwise, Google Cast otherwise, and Bluetooth as the worst choice.
If they’re traditional stereo speakers, place them significantly apart, so that they form an equilateral triangle with you. This creates stereo separation, unlike when the speakers are close to each other. It’s amazing. It’s like hearing another layer to your favourite music, making it richer.
If it’s a 360-degree speaker, place it 3-4 feet away from any walls, both behind and beside it.
If it’s on a dining table, see if covering it with a tablecloth helps.
If it comes with an app, use it to adjust bass and treble. Some speakers sound better when tuned.
