What is the realistic range for this device when streaming music?

Sorry, I have not tried it yet; I purchased it for my laptop computer so that I could stream music to a BT speaker. The packaging says "enhanced range up to 164 ft. or 50m".

I'm using the Logitech HBS730 and get about 20 feet in my apartment. If I cover the headset with an open hand, it'll cut out. In other words, the range isn't so great. I remember reading somewhere that antenna length is crucial - it has to be a specific length. I only remember that these tiny dongles just aren't big enough to house an antenna that will give you good range.

It's not that far. If I leave the room my computer is in, then I can't expect reliable streaming. So don't expect to be able to go through out your house and still stream music. If you are in the same room, I would say you can get about 15-20 feet of reliable streaming.

Dear Jon, Thanks so much for your inquiry. When streaming music, it often has more to do with which music streaming source you are using to determine what level of gapping that will occur. Normally the more the streaming service compresses their music, the more gapping can potentially occur. Please let me know if I can answer any additional questions for you!

Depends on how far they are away from you. If someone is about 3 feet away from you and your music volume is around 50% then they can hear it but only barely. If you keep it at a decent level then they shouldn't hear your music at all unless they had cat like hearing.

I haven't measured distance but seemed very stable I.e.: if the speaker is out on the deck and I walk inside with my phone the connection was maintained. Other bt receivers I have were much more temperamental

I receive good signal from 45 miles away, my height is 25 feet above ground and have some obstruction in the distance. I use a preamp and the signal is clear.

I have had this be an issue with some of my streaming music services. The issue apparently was with them as they released patches to fix that. I would connect it with the cord and see if you have the same issues. It might just be interference of the Bluetooth signal etc.

Mine is located 3 rooms away on the other side of the house and it seems to be working OK. As the Wireless G/N only works in the 2.4ghz range, you might want to check for other interference sources - primarily cordless phones & microwaves that work on the same frequency. Also you might want to check to make sure the player isn't sitting particular close to a speaker and that you have decent, shielded A/V cables and a good surge protector.

You can still hear the music. However, the volume is not loud. Plus this setup is for a home audio situation. For example, I have a Airport express which my iPad streams it's audio to which then streams the sound to my home theater.

Not at all friend. It has its limitations, including its frequency range and fidelity, It does the job very well though if you are looking for something decent...Regards.

Mine work well when I am in the room next to the music source, but they tend to cut out when I am 2-3 rooms away. I think that performance will vary according to local conditions such as the nature of the walls.

No you cannot stream music with this model. If you go up to the next model you can stream. You can only pair to one device at a time.

I am not sure. I use a ipod loaded with music and it sits about 25 ft away in the living room from the speakers hanging on the back deck. If you have a direct line of sight to the speakers it should be fine.

I use my speakers in my classroom. I pair it to my Macbook air only. I have never determined what the range is.

i dont use the unit for streaming music , however if you go to their website they tout the unit to be able to do a lot regarding streaming of audio data for media devices like Ipad, likely it will do it

I bought tis for my husband at Christmas. He has not tried that with it. It might have some games, but he thinks it would be very limited. HOpe that helps you.He does love it for the music streaming, though!

I don't use devices which allow my making that comparison, however just listening, I'm satisfied. The frequency response seems flat with no noticeable distortion. I don't feel I'm compromising sound for convenience.
