The development of technology in recent years is particularly rapid, and some of the inventions that seemed like a luxury couple of years ago are now actively entering our everyday life. An excellent example of such a device is a wireless speaker system that allows you to enjoy your favorite music in good quality without being confused by the numerous wires. You can choose a small portable device that will allow you to broadcast songs directly from your smartphone or to choose from a multi-function wireless speaker system that is suitable for both TV and gadget transfer.
Methods of transmission of sound
The most popular technologies for wireless audio transmission at the moment are AirPlay and Bluetouth. What are the main differences between them will be discussed below.
AirPlay technology
This way of transferring data "over the air" works through a Wi-Fi network and is a patented technology from Apple. Therefore, to wireless speakers operating on AirPlay, you can connect only the gadgets of the "apple" company.
Among the obvious advantages of this technology is worth noting the high quality of the broadcast sound and the ability to connect multiple speakers. Thus, music can be included on all installed devices simultaneously or only on one by choice. Another important advantage of AirPlay is that the range of this system is much more stable than Bluetouth.
Minuses of devices with this technology can be called high cost, dependence on Wi-Fi networks, as well as a limitation in the number of supported devices. As an Apple product, the AirPlay wireless speaker system will only be available for a computer, smartphone or tablet of this company.
Bluetouth Technology
Function Bluetouth now equipped with almost all gadgets, so the speaker system running on this technology will be compatible with any portable device.
In addition, the clear advantage of Bluetouth is mobility. For example, the JBL wireless speaker system, which is very compact, you can take with you on vacation or a walk.
The cost of such speakers is much lower than that of AirPlay devices. But here it's all about smaller licensing fees, so the price will not affect the quality of the wireless speaker system SONY, Samsung or Pioneer working through Bluetouth.
