| Wireless Method Compare: | Bluetooth 2.0 | Wi-Fi | Conclusion |
| Theoretical transmit rate: | 1 to 3Mbps | 54 to 100Mbps | Transmission bandwidth difference is 50 times |
| Sound Quality: | Actual transmit rate is 768kbps, cannot reach CD sound quality data requirement 1411.2kbps | Under LAN network, actual transmit rare is 32Mbps, much higher than Bluetooth, meet any audio data requirement | Under compare, Wi-Fi can support Hi-Fi lossless sound quality transmission, but Bluetooth can not be guaranteed |
| Transmit Distance: | No obstacles within 10m | More than 100m, can cover whole house | Transmission distance different is 10 times |
| Through Wall Capability: | Cannot transmit through wall | Can transmit through wall | Wi-Fi can be used in house, bluetooth can be used in room |
| Independent Media Capability: | Cannot connect to Internet, no independent media capability | Can connect to Internet, direct access to Internet resources, become independent media player | Bluetooth cannot connect to Internet, must use with other device, Wi-Fi can access to Internet, use as could speaker |
| Multicast Capability: | 1 to1 Connection, cannot support multicast capability | Can connect to Internet, theoretical maximum number of connection can reach 225 | Bluetooth can only connect to 1 device for one time, but WI-Fi can connect to many devices for one time |
| Use Environment: | No Bluetooth network environment in house | Wi-Fi network with wireless router is common use in house | Wi-Fi network will be fully use in future, Wi-Fi wireless transmit will be the |
| Protocol Support: | A2DP, loss transmission | Airplay, DLNA | Wi-Fi truly use lossless transmission protocol, support for mobile terminal and client wireless music play |
| Power Consumption: | Low power consumption | Higher power consumption | Bluetooth power consumption low because bandwidth low, suitable for portable and long time use, Wi-Fi power consumption is high, suitable for fixed power use |
