Is there any distance limitation to how far the speaker is from the device source of the music? Bluetooth speakers only have about a 30' range

This uses Wifi and airplay, so if the wifi signal reaches then this will work. There may be a limit as to number of speakers on your net, I have heard 8, but my two work great.

Since I use it inside my house, that's about the range that I have, maybe 40' . I'm sorry I don't have better information.

Since this product uses WiFi instead of Bluetooth, the range is slightly more complicated, but should generally be much broader. There are two parts to consider, with your WiFi router being the key. Your source device (iPhone, iPod, etc.) needs to have a good connection to your WiFi network, so your range will depend on that. This unit needs to have a very good connection to the WiFi as well and should be located as close to your router as possible, but many factors can impact this, such as the number of walls in between and even the number of electrical wires in those walls. Certain electrical units can impact WiFi signals as well, such as dimmer switches, cordless phones and microwave ovens. If you have dead spots in your WiFi coverage or you're not getting a good signal in your desired location, you may want to consider relocating your router or installing a WiFi range extender.

I don't know what the distance limitation is, but I have always had it less than 15' from the source. In fact, since I wrote the review, I have used it rarely, because it will not make a bluetooth connection with my sources. Not happy with the product or the support.

I am not sure. This device was given as a gift to one of my male friends. He says he has enjoyed using the speaker but has not trialed any distance for the wireless use. This answer may be in the specs. Sorry I didn't have better information.

You can take it outside but typical Bluetooth range is about 25 to 30 feet so it is a very good chance you will experience loss of signal beyond 30 feet. I take my speaker outside and in the garage a lot but keep my audio source within 5-10 feet of my speaker.

Yep, absolutely. It's the same as if you had an auxiliary cord plugged into your phone and connected to the speakers - whatever would come out of the headphone jack will come out of the speaker. There is a limit to how far the phone can be from the speaker and maintain the connection, but my phone is usually within 15 feet and it's fine.

Hi Mike, great question! I have experimented with those little 1-2 inch speakers that come with some PC's. It worked fine for shorter distances when I plugged the speaker into the RCA jack input (3.5mm) on the receiver instead of plugging the earbuds in). How ever when I used batteries instead of plugging the transmitter in to an a/c source, my range decreased a little. Larger speakers needed to have their own power source / amplified speakers. The larger the speaker, the more distortion that occurred. Remember these great little wireless earbuds are "designed to power earbuds". For the amazingly low price of this unit, I'd buy one and just use the earbuds how they are designed. Hi Mike, great question!

I been able to hear clear sound as far away as 170 feet plus with no objects in the path of the signal. This also depends on the speaker: I use a Boombotix Rex.

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

I have no problem playing music in my garage when my tablet is in my bedroom, however the distance is only about 4o feet with 2 walls. good luck!

I mostly use my iPad. I have it about 8-10 ft from the speaker. I use it for a yoga class and the speaker is across the room from me. Works great, I just love it!

Depends on your Bluetooth settings, if you can pair with multiple devices, then sure. I'd advise buying a different speaker, the circuitry sucks, it's hard to fix, and the sound is not as loud as it sounds like it should. Keep looking.

Using an old Blackberry Bold 9000 as a music player, my SHARKK on Bluetooth works at a distance of 30-35ft. without distortion. After that it starts to drop the signal noticeably.

This range is around the standard Bluetooth range of 33 feet. Hopefully that helps! Thank you! :)

I'm not sure, but I've had it as far away as about 20 feet or so. The speaker was in one room and the ipod was in another.

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.

The further away from the wall the better it sounds....cleaner, more transparent, better bass response...mine are roughly 3 feet from the front wall (from wall to the back of the speaker)....

The bluetooth range is about 12-20 ft but, for me at least, the signal gets dropped sometimes requiring me to redo the pairing between my android device and the speaker in order to restablish the connection. Other than that, the speaker sound is pretty amazing.
