If my wife is connected, even if she’s not using it, I have to ask her or my two daughters to turn off Bluetooth on their phones to let me in. In my house, we share a wireless Bose system across 4 people.
To add to the pairing nightmare, Bluetooth-based speakers also face the contention problem, where if multiple family members have paired to the same speaker, they can “steal” control. But as we have all experienced at some point, Bluetooth is an absolute nightmare to pair and maintain a reliable pairing. Bluetooth’s primary use has been simple: connecting one phone to one headset or earpiece like Jawbone so we can talk and drive. It’s on all smartphones, tablets and on many but not all computers. Most wireless audio products use stereo Bluetooth. I will outline this below and if you are looking for a deeper analysis, you can find that here. The SKAA wireless audio standard could solve most of today’s problems and has the potential to disrupt and displace both Bluetooth and AirPlay in the premium sound category. The problem is that both of those standards fall short on quality and ease of use. The majority of the wireless audio products use either Bluetooth or AirPlay to connect the device to the speaker or headphone. Wireless audio benefited from the general growth of the premium music headphone phenomenon, and we have Beats Audio and Dr. All one needs to do is walk into a retailer like Best Buy BBY -0.99%and see the multiple rows dedicated to it. Wireless audio is booming as a consumer category.
