Broken cell phone or smartphone speaker - what to do?

If the speaker of your cell phone or smartphone is broken, you need a replacement quickly. We'll show you what you can do.

Replace smartphone speaker with headset

• If the device is a bit older, a repair is not always worthwhile. You can replace the speaker with simple headphones. If a microphone is integrated in the headphones, making calls is much easier.
• Alternatively, you can use a Bluetooth headset. The device is simply connected to the cell phone or smartphone via Bluetooth.

Repair cellphone or smartphone speakers

• If the device is still under warranty, you can request a free repair from the manufacturer.
• If the guarantee period has expired, you still have to pay for a repair. This costs around 30 to 40 euros for the current smartphones.

In the next practical tip, we will show you how to use several Bluetooth speakers at the same time.
