According to our WiFi speaker expert
With the Yamaha WX-030, you can listen to your favorite music in every room. This speaker forms part of the MusicCast multi-room system. Place various speakers throughout the house and send music to them with 1 app, which you control from a mobile device. If you don't want to hear the same song in every room, you can control each speaker individually. This way, you can listen to a rock song in the bedroom, while your partner dances to house music in the living room. Since the speaker streams music via AirPlay and WiFi, it's suitable for an Apple as well as Windows device. Do you have only one speaker, but want to listen to music in every room? You can carry this compactly designed piece of equipment from one room to another.
Note:the speaker needs a cable to be connected to the AC power.

Very nice multi-room network speaker. Plug in the socket, download the Yamaha MusicCast app on your phone or tablet and go through a few steps. Finished.
Then you can easily enjoy music via Spotify Connect, internet radio with thousands of stations, airplay or play other files from your network.
If that is not enough, you can also make a Bluetooth connection to stream other audio files (youtube etc) to the Yamaha wx-030. This speaker is extra unique because of the fact that it can then also forward the Bluetooth signal. For example, you can easily connect wireless Bluetooth headphones to it.
Finally, this speaker has MusicCast from Yamaha, with which you can easily connect multiple MusicCast systems. This is not only limited to multiple wx-030 speakers, but also the latest receivers from Yamaha that have MultiCast can be included in the audio network. For example, you can easily operate your connected record player in the system. You can easily play this on all connected MusicCast systems. So the best of both worlds. A great development from Yamaha.
Then the sound of the Yamaha WX-030, particularly beautiful and surprisingly powerful for an extremely compact speaker like this. Very good mature bass and all different settings are possible via the app. For example, I lowered the bass a little and the mids and highs were 2 taps higher. Result? A wonderful speaker that can easily fill a room of 25m2, really great. Similar to Sonos Play3 or Bose SoundTouch20, while the Yamaha is a lot smaller.
I also bought an RX-479 MusicCast receiver with a couple of big Yamaha NS-555 speakers. A wonderful combination for relatively little money. When all speakers play at the same time, in one word, great!!

In my opinion the best alternative to Sonos and cheaper too. I now have 2x WX-030 and 1x WX-010. I plan to expand with a soundbar YSP 2700 and a pair of WX-030 and WX-010. And probably a 2nd WiFi network only for the musiccast, because if the WiFi is overloaded, it sometimes falters.
