Headphone or dongle range

It’s about 30 foot, but adding walls it’s probably more like 10 foot.

Iirc the latest standerds which I don’t think is that widely adopted. So you saoikd like you’re in the ball park of that the standard is capable off.

You’d know my bose head phones go further than my teotronics buds, but never tested how far bose go, but I know they cut out at around ten foot, where my buds do. I know this as desk to toilet is about 10 feet, as the crow flies, (via two walls), they go choppy some times when I visit the loo.

However there is a huge price difference. £16 vs £320. So if your happy with your sound, I’d say stick to what you have. You’ll probably need to invest a relative amount to gain an extra few feet. And a huge amount to go further.

For anything but serious music listening to, which I do little of, (though listening to the wall atm), my sub £20 set up is more than good enough. Though I do need two sets of the cheap ones, as I only get about 6 hours out of them, and I do more than 6h with buds on. So always have own on charge.

Is the bluetoth dongle at the back of the PC – maybe affecting the range if it is in between a PC and a wall. Maybe worth connecting to a frnt USB slot (I know they are liable to get knokced there) or get a USB extension lead and extend the dongle from a rear usb port to a better location. The headphones themselves vary tremendously too. My taotronics and soundpeats will comfortably do 200 yards at my gym including through a set of thick double doors. My little hearing-aid style bud I use when walking will struggle at more than 15ft with line of sight.

What Is The Range Of Bluetooth And How Can It Be Extended?

Well I found the above interesting ?

That is a good point, my daughter’s head phones are not BT but a semi stand-alone system gaining sound from a device but providing the point to point drive from the dedicated base station that also doubles as the charging point. I guess it is a matter of horses for courses. BT is much more limited, even before about 25 feet even on one level and with a wall or two it will likely fail.

I found having a few pairs of BT ear phones  connecting to different devices can end up with the cans connecting to the wrong devices, and some cans will push others off if you forget to turn one off.

So om my pc I have a dedicated pair of BT buds. But my phone does the major share of my listening, so that is what all my other sets connect to. I don’t connect a pair to two different devices that I know ill be near both regularly. Hope that makes sense, not sure I it does.

Basically a seperatepair of earphone per device. Give mine are cheap, it’s not a big issue to have a few pairs.

I also have a cheap pair of head phones that has a reviver stand, ment for PC or tv work. But the cussioning is so hard I can’t water them. Used them once (a prezzie). I should dig them out for my girl, she would probably use them on her mac. My lads already have decent wired sets.

I think all my are BT low power. Which I think means it the newer standard. My bose cans works all over the house. So tested to probably 40 feet through a few walls. My cheaper buds, which are also new (ish) they give battery feed back to devices etc.. Probably get 10 at best through walls.

I don’t mind though, that works for my uses.
