What's the operating range on Bluetooth earbuds these days? On reasonable ones, not the cheapest and not the most expensive? (I'm not looking to buy any exactly, but am curious.)

Also I know some things affect radio signals, so what's a definite BT signal killer? I know an electric kettle makes the WiFi dip in latency and a friend always dropped out of VOIP chats when using the microwave, but are there actually known and verified things that do this?

There should or could definitely be some kind of hashtag on there for effectiveness but I must not get distracted and was already doing two other things... 😶

my oneplus pods work only in around 5 meters range of the phone, get real choppy at 8 meters...

Haven't noticed any real connectivity killers, except they die when walking past two certain buildings near the Tanpere University.

"it depends". What I have seems to have more range with laptop than with phone, I think. About 6m with line of sight, no issue, but if I take a step forward and hide behind fridge, issues start. Microwave and kettle don't change much, but a coffee grinder kills the connection completely 🤷

@viq Coffee grinder?? Well that's unexpected. I'd mostly use my PC anyway, I assume the transmitter/receiver is a bit more robust than the ones on phones.

yup. I don't know either, especially since vacuum cleaner doesn't have much effect either. It all depends on construction and shielding and such, I guess 🤷

5-10 meters, depending on many things and whether using with a phone or a laptop. Walls (especially stone and metal) will attenuate quite a bit, direct "line of sight" will attenuate the least. Motors, some badly made lighting systems, some wi-fi can all interfere with BT, but it's suprisingly resilient.

But in short: "it's complicated".

@kobajo I've sometimes even left the flat and continued being connected to my PC, when I forget the bluetooth on! Fascinating about the lights, I assume magnetism has something to do with it.

wrong answer

@Sini Tuulia in my experience the thing that is sure to drop (or at least degrade significantly) the connection on a bluetooth headset is being in the middle of a call

especially when the conversation starts to become intense, when one is at the “test, test, can you hear me“ stage they work just fine.

For my Shookz the one thing I've noticed for sure is problem with thick walls: moving upstairs or going out in the balcony will ruin the audiobook listening. Other than that my living room is too small to move away too far. But my living room is not Versailles sized... I think electric kettle was ok (mine is in service, can't recheck), and I don't own a microwave.

@laumapret For my use case I'd need to be able to go into the kitchen without the audio quality suffering, and it's only like 6-7m in a straight line, but there's a bunch of stuff and half a wall in the way...
