This is one of the best sounding speakers in our review
It doesn't have any other connectivity other than Wi-Fi
The sound quality of the PLAY:3 competes with the best speakers in our comparison, but the lack of connectivity options couldn't be more disappointing. Its audio clarity is almost unmatched, but its Wi-Fi only connectivity is frustrating to say the least...
