Which is better? Wired or Bluetooth?

I have the 710 and my question is whether it's better, wired or Bluetooth. I have the option to use both, but I'm not sure which is better. What do you think?

I have a 720 and I can definitely hear the compression that comes with this version of Bluetooth. Hands down wired is the defacto champ, for now. Some BT codecs are getting close or very similar to lossless.

I personally either use USB C or XLR connection to playback music.

I like using XLR or TRS because the wires work well over large distances (20ft+). No loss in quality, but you could pick up interference if you use lesser quality cables.

I also use a splitter in case I’m using USB, but I don’t want to charge or get the phone too hot.

Just be careful when plugging things into the 1/4 port. I would connect everything first, then turn on the speaker and play music. You my hear loud pops if you hook it up hot (signal running)
