Earlier today (5th November 2020), DxOMark announced a new benchmark to test the sound quality of wireless speakers. The new benchmark would be called DxOMark Speaker and will have the firm test a variety of speakers.
For those unaware, DxOMark is a known brand that reviews and tests professional grade and consumer grade cameras as well as the cameras found in smartphones. The ratings it provides are known to be taken with great regards in the industry, so the expansion will also open up more avenues for the firm. The company will use scientific rating and aggregate hundreds of test results for each speaker that they test.

According to Nicolas Touchard, VP Marketing at DxOMark, “the speaker market offers a wide range of products and audio technologies. Consumers purchasing speakers require more information beyond what is communicated by manufacturers. With our new performance benchmark, we provide relevant objective information that helps buyers make more informed purchasing decisions, similar to what we have been providing for smartphone and camera consumers across the world.”
Notably DxOMark has performed audio testings since 2018 and even included smartphones in this category by 2019. Now, the firm will have a dedicated team of sound engineers perform tests for wireless speakers using state-of-the-art lab systems and proprietary test protocols, which will be based around the consumers’ experience.
