AirPlay in a high-density environment isn't great

I have a speaker that does airplay/ google cast and Bluetooth. Bluetooth works by far the best (once you pair). Though to be fair I havent tried google chrome cast more than once.

I’ve noticed that it seems harder to not use airplay on the device with an iPhone. It involves a trip to the settings menu. It didn’t used too. I might have something not set right but it seems weird to me. It’s the same with my “just bluetoooth speaker as well…)

I appreciate airplay for video though.

Bluetooth has the downsides that you need to be in range, and that message notifications/other go through the bluetooth speaker. Chromecast pulls the stream directly from the Internet, for better or worse, so neither of those problems are present on it. No idea about how Airplay works, though screen mirroring is a nifty feature.
