A: According to the manual, you can connect to the speaker using Bluetooth to play music from the Bluetooth device (your Mac) to the speaker. But sound quality is not as good as Wi-Fi. You cannot use your Mac as a controlling device because there is no app available for OSX. Samsung Multi-Room App is only available for iOS and Android OS.

A: It sounds better than Echo.
Q: How does this speaker compare to Sonos Play 1 in terms of sound quality?
A: The Sonos Play 1 is a great speaker with terrific sound quality for streaming music only over Wi-Fi. Also, a Sonos bridge is required (sold separately) for it to work. Unfortunately, it does not have Bluetooth capability like the Samsung, and the sound quality on Samsung sounds good but Sonos is louder. Samsung is a better value in our opinion.
