Do you need Wi-Fi for a Bluetooth speaker?

Whether a Bluetooth speaker needs Wi-Fi depends mainly on the speaker's function and design. Generally speaking, the main function of a Bluetooth speaker is to wirelessly connect to other devices (such as smartphones, tablets or computers) through Bluetooth technology, thereby realizing wireless transmission and playback of audio. Therefore, in most cases, you do not need Wi-Fi to connect and use a Bluetooth speaker.

With the development of technology, some Bluetooth speakers also have Wi-Fi capabilities. Such speakers can not only connect to devices via Bluetooth, but also connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi, thus having more functions, such as online music playback, voice assistant control, etc. These additional functions make the use of speakers more convenient and diverse.

But it is worth noting that even if a Bluetooth speaker has Wi-Fi, you can still choose not to use Wi-Fi and only connect and play via Bluetooth. It all depends on your personal needs and preferences.

In general, the basic functions of Bluetooth speakers do not rely on Wi-Fi, but some advanced functions or additional services may require Wi-Fi support. Therefore, when choosing a Bluetooth speaker, you can decide whether you need a speaker with Wi-Fi based on your needs and budget. No matter which speaker you choose, it is important to make sure it can meet your usage needs and bring you a good audio experience.
