When buying a Bluetooth speaker under Rs 2500, start with output power: 10W or more is ideal for a room, while 5W works for personal listening. Battery life matters more than you think, so aim for at least 8 hours unless you prefer an ultra-compact model like the JBL Go 3. Check the IP rating if you plan to use it outdoors: IPX5 handles splashes, IP67 survives full dunking. Bluetooth 5.0 or newer gives stable pairing and better range, and extras like TWS pairing, RGB lights, a built-in mic and Type-C charging are genuinely useful. Finally, buy from the official brand seller on Amazon or Flipkart so the warranty stays valid, and compare the street price against the MRP because festive sales routinely cut these speakers by 40 to 60 percent.
