Since AirPlay uses your home Wi-Fi network, there is no need for your speakers to be in close proximity to whatever device you’re sending audio from-you can easily walk around the house with your iPhone and as long as you don’t stray out of Wi-Fi coverage your audio will continue playing on whatever speakers you have selected. You can also stream audio from iTunes on your Mac or PC or even use it to stream video to an Apple TV connected to your television set. AirPlayĪirPlay is a technology created by Apple that allows you to stream audio to a set of compatible speakers from an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch using your existing home Wi-Fi network. Bluetooth provides speakers that you can basically pair up with your device and take with you and use anywhere, but won’t integrate as seamlessly into a larger home audio environment.
The short answer is that AirPlay can provide you with a more effective and easy to use “whole-home” audio solution if you’re already primarily an iTunes and Apple device user, but you will generally pay more for the speakers and won’t have the ability to use them away from your home.
A: Despite both being used for streaming wireless audio from an iOS device, AirPlay and Bluetooth are actually two completely different technologies and generally serve very different purposes.
