Wi-Fi offers better range and better sound.
Wi-Fi offers better range is capable of better (and uncompressed) sound. Plus, Wi-Fi offers multiroomfunctionality. Bluetooth encodes sound prior to transmit it, and its transmission is very limited in range and very sensitive in obstacles and interferences. Additionally, it limits you to stay in the same room as the speaker and you will need to launch different apps to play your music. WiSound Wireless Multiroom uses Wi-Fi to communicate between the app and the WiSound Devices, letting you control what's playing throughout the house wherever you are. And because WiSound Wireless Multiroom is also Bluetooth capable, it can connect to Bluetooth onlydevices and retransmit them to the whole Wi-Fi network.
