There are two ways to connect a Wireless Speaker. If you have an Apple device, you may want to use the Airplay. For any other device, there's Bluetooth, and here is when compatibility becomes a factor. Bluetooth can pair with apple devices two.
Airplay
Airplay speakers are relatively more expensive than Bluetooth speakers, and they are significantly power-hungry and bulkier, which means they are not portable enough to be carried around your house. Airplay speakers are more expensive because manufacturers of these speakers paid an additional licensing fee which allows them to incorporate the technology in their product. In addition, this technology rely more on a Wi-Fi network.
Bluetooth
Bluetooth was first established in the market, though it doesn't have as many features as AirPlay, it does however support various mobile devices
Basically, it can simultaneously pair up two mobile devices. But it can only receive a stream from a single device at a time
Sound Quality / Conclusion
In regards of quality of the sound. They both have a pretty good one. WiFi, in the way it works has a faster response than Bluetooth, but you may not even notice the difference.
If you are the type of person (as I am) that is always thinking on possible scenarios, or let friends use your device, you need to get the one with more compatibility. However, Apple products have always shown that they are some milliseconds ahead, this is due to its incompatibility.
