These speakers connect to your smartphone via Bluetooth and WiFi. At home, you can connect your smartphone to the speaker via WiFi, which allows you to listen to music undisturbed. With a WiFi connection, you can scroll through your timeline without the music interrupting. In addition, your smartphone doesn't have to be near the speaker. This means you can move freely through your home and not hear hiccups when you walk to another room. When you go out and take the speaker outside, connect your smartphone via Bluetooth.
