How long of a range is the bluetooth? Say, I walk into my room, would my phone pair and the stereo start playing music? etc?

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

I have a 3 bedroom 2 bath home and have the stereo set up in the living room...I can walk around the house with my phone in my pocket room to.room and never lose signal..I leave my stereo on and as soon as i walk in from a long day of work i just turn on the Bluetooth and the stereo automatically connects without having to pair everytime....

I have been next door at my neighbors and it stayed connected and I could change the music. But if you leave your house lets say to go to work, when you get home you gotta reconnect. I would say you probably have about 30-40 feet

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

in theory, *if* you keep it charged and *if* you can get it to pair with your phone... and *if* you leave your bluetooth on all the time (and at that point *if* you still have a charge on your phone) you can locate the device - however I could not get it to do anything other than act as a poor bluetooth speakerphone

Check the specs if it has Bluetooth no.if not yes.range is a little spotty between rooms

Pretty far. I've been in another room and the sound hasn't changed at all. I've also had my back to my device and the sound doesn't fade out or get disconnected.

Randel...You will not have a problem. If you have any hesitation, when they arrive, pair them in different locations (rooms). Unfortunately, the range of the HM1700 is very short. If I walk more than 10 feet away from the phone, the HM1700 will disconnect. I was able to walk about 33 feet from my phone without disconnecting from the cell when I used my Jawbone (which is far superior to this Bluetooth).

Listening to music works well. Turn on Bluetooth on phone and turn on headphones. Phone should search for nearby devices. Doesn't work for taking phone calls.

Probably a mistake, Bluetooth is good up to about 30 feet depending on the area involved and obstructions.

Well, to do that, it would have to be within the radius of the Bluetooth reach from the speaker. I've found it to be around 30 feet. I'll look and see about externally connecting wires when I get home.

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

As long as it has a clear path between the receiver and the bluetooth speaker, you shouldn't have a problem. Depending on the quality of your speakers, it may experience a bit of lag in the transmission of the music, (i.e. your playlist is on the next song before the previous song has finished playing audibly), which is easily fixed by turning off your speaker and turning it back on.

Yes, you can transmit stereo audio to a Bluetooth receiver. However in my experience, the signal doesn't really go further than 15 feet or so.

Sorry, I don't use the bluetooth function. I connect with a very short audio cable. A friend of mine told me that audio quality is depreciated via bluetooth transfer vs. direct audio cable. Thus, I have not bothered to compare for myself since I am fine with resting my ipod atop the speaker, as it is connected via the audio cable.

The manual says 10 feet...but we've had our cell phone further than that. Generally Bluetooth range is 30'. Just leave your cell phone within range of the base unit. The base has lights indicating whether BT is connected - yellow for not, green for connected. Keep an eye on those lights, today the base light was yellow with the cell in range - somehow the BT was turned off on the Cell. Turned it on and the phones reconnected.

Try turning off the blue tooth on your phone when it is nearby the unit, unless you are playing music. also, i found that if you press and hold the "phone" icon on the top, it turns off the bluetooth signal. weird.

Depending upon the distance my phone or iPad is away from the speaker determines the bluetooth link. Greater than 15 feet the signal drops out. especially if my body is between the speaker and the phone. Pairing some times takes several attempts. However the speaker works well for me most of the time. If you have paired it with another device you must first disconnect that device through the general settings. Only one will pair at a time.

I haven't installed my unit yet, but I assume the answer is yes. I keep my music on my phone and intend to connect to the stereo unit via bluetooth in order to avoid having to run a wire from the unit to my device. If you're not using bluetooth, I believe you will always have a "wired" connection with the stereo unit.
