- Price: It probably sounds obvious, but there are links to the price you pay and the quality of a product. Try and set your expectations for the quality based on your budget. You wouldn’t expect a Rolls-Royce for the price of a Fiesta so bear this in mind when shopping.

- Brand: Sony are obviously a strong and recognisable brand for making great Audio Equipment, so you’d expect Sony SRS-XB402M Extra Bass Waterproof Bluetooth NFC Portable Smart Speaker with Alexa Voice Recognition & Control to deliver to these expectations. But always consider the brand when you’re thinking about the quality of the product you’re going to buy, and where quality is an important factor to you, look only at those well known brands (of course only if your budget allows).
- Your experience with Audio Equipment: You’ll no doubt have some history with buying Audio Equipment, and you may have even bought products from the same brand, Sony, use this information to your advantage. You’ll probably have a good idea of how good the quality of the product was and any faults or floors you remember from it.
