Streaming music with WiFi vs. Bluetooth
Feature | Wifi | Bluetooth |
---|---|---|
Highest sound quality With WiFi, music streams from the cloud so the music sounds exactly the way the artist intended. With Bluetooth, audio is re-compressed, which can compromise sound quality. |
||
Take a call without interrupting what's casting With WiFi streaming, your music keeps playing without disruption, even if you get a phone call or a text. With Bluetooth, phone calls and notifications are heard over the speakers. |
||
Control music from anywhere in the house Chromecast built-in speakers stream music over WiFi, which means you can control the music from anywhere within your WiFi network. With Bluetooth, your phone needs to be near the speaker or the music will stop playing. |
||
Play same music across multiple speakers Select Chromecast built-in speakers can be grouped together to play the same song everywhere. |
||
Doesn’t drain phone battery Casting music over WiFi doesn’t drain your battery, while pairing from Bluetooth does. |
||
Easily share music from multiple devices With WiFi every mobile device on the network can connect and control your speakers. With Bluetooth, pairing devices can be tedious and requires disconnecting one device before another can connect. |
