Which simple speaker is suitable for your bedroom?

You should choose a compact WiFi speaker for your bedroom when you're looking for a speaker that's easy to use. You can control a speaker like this with your voice, via an app, and possibly via touch controls. That way, you won't have to get out of bed to listen to your favorite songs. You can also add the speaker to your smart home system for user-friendliness throughout your entire house.

Setup: 10 minutes, you'll need to help your grandfather or grandmother.

• You'll need stable WiFi and a smartphone or tablet

A soundbar improves the sound of your television. When you connect it via HDMI ARC, you can control it with the remote of your TV. Do you want to listen to a podcast after the movie before you go to bed? You can easily switch to Bluetooth. You can do this via the app or the control panel on the soundbar.

Setup: 20 minutes, you'll need to help your grandfather or grandmother.

If you don't want the digital functions, a HiFi speaker might be the solution for you. After the setup, the speaker is ready for use. The advantage of a wired speaker is that the sound quality remains pretty much the same. This allows you to listen to a clear and detailed sound. In your bedroom, you can easily hide the speaker on a shelf or in the closet.

Setup: 5 minutes, your grandfather or grandmother will be able to do this them self.

• No wireless options, unless your amplifier or receiver has this.

We mostly recommend a stereo set for larger bedrooms. A single speaker might not be enough. Thanks to this all-in-1 package, you'll directly have 2 speakers and a playback device. This allows you to choose between radio, a CD player, or Bluetooth. This is ideal if you have many different audio sources in the bedroom.

The clock radio is ideal for someone who likes to start their day with the news or the top 50. You can set the clock radio to start playing your favorite radio channel the moment you have to wake up. Via Bluetooth, you can stream your own music from your smartphone or tablet. This will stop automatically when you set a sleep timer. That way, the music won't play all night.

A Bluetooth speaker is a suitable speaker for you if you don't spend much time in your bedroom, but you'd still like to listen to music easily. You can easily turn it on and connect it to your smartphone or tablet. If you want a more simple speaker, choose a Bluetooth one. Do you mainly want to listen to music or the radio when you wake up or go to bed? Choose a WiFi speaker, soundbar, or clock radio.

Setup: 1 minute, your grandfather or grandmother will be able to do this by themselves as long as they have a smartphone.
