use case: Netflix on macbook, using iPhone 8 and earplugs as bluetooth-headphone-combo in principle nice, but the time gap of est. 2 seconds makes it weird ...
Airfoil is brilliant...the biggest plus is that you can control more than one speaker when listening to Spotify...something you can’t do using Spotify app alone...had it for years and it runs 5 speakers around the house both independently and individually.
