What is Bluetooth? What is AirPlay? If that sounds cool to you, stay with us. Streamed content can include music, video, photos, and screen sharing, all of which retain their metadata when sent via AirPlay. You can even turn wired speakers into receivers with the Belkin SoundForm Connect audio adapter.
The third-party adapter plugs into any speaker with an optical or 3. With AirPlay 2, you can stream music to multiple AirPlay 2 speakers simultaneously, creating a true multiroom streaming system. Under the original AirPlay, only one could be used at a time. A portable Bluetooth speaker and smartphone are all you need to play back all the music stored on your phone in good sound quality.
It should be noted, however that the two devices — the playback and source device — cannot be more than 15 meters apart. Wi-Fi connections are generally double this and are easy to expand using Wi-Fi extenders.
Portability: Two Bluetooth-enabled devices can stream independently of a Wi-Fi network — perfect for the beach or camping trips. Cost: Bluetooth speakers tend to be less expensive that AirPlay-enabled speakers or other Wi-Fi streamers. Flexibility: Bluetooth technology is managed by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group and made available to a wide range of devices across many brands and platforms.
You can find a full Bluetooth product directory here. The widespread use of Bluetooth makes it easy for your Sony, Samsung or Apple phone to communicate with any Bluetooth speaker. Range: A Bluetooth speaker and source device can be no more than 10 to 15 meters apart. Sound quality: Bluetooth 4. The first is Bluetooth and the second is AirPlay.
Though both get your tunes from your computer or smartphone to your speaker, they do so in vastly different ways.
These differences also allow for each having various benefits over the other. Before we look at the differences between the two, it should be noted that Bluetooth is an open industry standard that has a governing board consisting of major industry players including Apple, Microsoft, and more.
AirPlay, on the other hand, is a proprietary technology created by Apple. Wireless speakers can be Bluetooth-only, AirPlay-only, or support both technologies simultaneously. In simple terms, Bluetooth is a universal wireless platform found in myriad devices from speakers to computers, to mice and keyboards, to smartphones and fitness bands.
While Bluetooth is a major technology for wireless streaming of music, it also is obviously used for connecting accessories like mice and keyboards to your PC and can be used to send many other kinds of data. However, Bluetooth cannot stream video. No matter how close two AirPlay devices are, if they are not on the same wireless network, they will not be able to talk to each other. Third, unlike Bluetooth, AirPlay can be used to stream both music and video from one device to another.
