How is the bluetooth range? I have a different speaker and if I get more than 5 feet from it it cuts out, just wondering how this one is.

Hi J. Weakly, I tried to move a little under 20 feet away, clear hallway, no wall or obstruction, and it still played very clearly. I tried going inside a room directly across the living room and it cuts off. All in all, the distance for this one is excellent, just no room to room wall obstructions.

I purchased this to play music from my phone to me stereo. You can be around 10-15 feet away without disrupting the connection. Any further and it starts to cut out.

You're good with the audio jack. I had an interesting experience this weekend, my son moved the Ruckus but not my phone and in the process may have set a new world record for Bluetooth connectivity distance.- Lovin' my Ruckus...

Bluetooth range is about 30 feet. However, it depends if you are in or around obstructions, concrete, thick walls. Etc. I have gone beyond 30 feet line of site. Such as working in the yard with the device on my deck. Good Luck. I'm sure you will love this item

Couple tips ... 1. Make sure you have properly synched the Bluetooth and DO NOT have your phone set to the speaker phone mode 2. If you have an audio cord for the AUX connection plug that into your phone's headphone jack. I found the quality to improve with that connection

When in the front pocket of my shorts the audio cuts out. Take them out of the pocket and it clears up. Unless I got a dud, the range is about 3 ft.

I would say the bluetooth is much more stable than other comparable speakers in this price range. I have achieved 30ft of distance with the perfect scenario. If you add walls/doors etc to the scenario then the connection is less stable but still very good. Typically we leave our phone in the kitchen where wifi is best and use our speaker on our back porch which is around a corner and outside through a sliding glass door about 20 feet away.

Is it losing connection while in use or after you shut it down and then it will not reconnect? If it has been paired with another device and that device is still active, (example iPad is in use or sleeping but not off) the speaker will attempt to connect to that device and will not connect to another until the previous device is deactivated or it's Bluetooth is shut off. Loss of Bluetooth connection can be caused by multiple devices attempting to connect, weak signal, too great a distance from source etc. I have two of these speakers and have not had a problem with either one. I use them with my iPad, phone, and with a laptop computer using an "old" external Bluetooth adaptor in a USB port. I'll mention battery state of charge too but you likely have charged it to see if a low battery was the problem. If the problem continues I'd contact the manufacturer. http://www.hensonaudio.com/index.php?route=information/contact

The audio quality begins to drop about 15 feet away. The actual device stops being constantly-connected after approximately 50 feet. The device will disconnect between 60 and 75 feet away.

I don't seem to have this problem High or low. The only problem I seem to have is the range of the Bluetooth is limited to about 5 metres

I've dealt with the same problem. My brother and I both share the speaker between the two of us. Sometimes my phone will not connect to it and gives me the same lame excuse that you received. You just have to make sure the previous device you used has Bluetooth turned off completely and it is entirely out of range. Then you go ahead and turn on the speaker, turn the Bluetooth on on the device you want to use, and then connect it when the device reads the signal from the speaker. That's how we took care of the problem. It's a little tedious and absurd, but it's the system we use to make it work.

Hi Jeniansmom, your source device can work up to 10 m (about 30 ft) (line of sight) of the Bluetooth Speakers. -Vincent

I had a similar issue after a couple of day, it would keep cutting out. I returned it, & haven't got another. Seems to be a common problem. Too bad, I really liked the form factor. I have a SBH20 & 50 and another sony bluetooth device, all work fine.

The range is good for ±100 ft for the regular phone, but not for the bluetooth. That's only good for about 30 ft.

Sorry I took so long, but I just used it outdoors today!! It performed as I expected, very well!!! My neighbors came out as I was working on my car and were very impressed with the sound, and equally impressed that it was wireless. The range was about 50 feet. Good enough for me. Again, theoretically it's wireless but is powered by an AC cord, which for the extra volume and bass is alright with me. Hope this helps you out.
