My bluetooth range is maybe 4 feet. I've tried on both computer and phone. Is this normal?

You're lucky with 4 feet. If I touch my phone it loses signal. If I switch to another app I lose signal (iPhone 4S and iPhone 5S). I also like a mile south of a WGN radio tower and a half mile North of a WBBM radio tower and 20 miles West of O'Hare airport.

Yes. The range is terrible. It might as well need a cord. I sometimes wish it would have the option. I was aware of the issue and I disregarded it since my phone wouldn't be too far from it ever.

Doesn't match my experience. I get reliable connectivity out to 15 feet . Might have a bad unit.

I have been using this speaker for quite sometime now and when connected to my cell phone I can walk about 20 feet away before it cuts out. If I have it in my apartment I can have it in one room and my phone be in the other a good 10 feet away and it still works no problem. Not sure if it may be your computer and phone or the speaker itself. I use a Samsung Galaxy SIII and my Laptop which is a Samsung SF510.

I haven't had any problems. I use it around the house and travel from room to room with it and leave my IPod in one spot.

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...

Have not encountered any static it may be the bluetooth out of range from the phone.

My Bluetooth still doesn't stay in my ear that much longer. Even if I'm setting in a chair not moving that much.

I've used my mouse from a distance of about 8 feet with no issues. Most "low power" bluetooth connections are typically good up to 30 ft (10m) if the path is unobstructed. There are bluetooth range extenders available if needed.

Plantronics states the operating range as "Up to 33 feet from phone or tablet". My experience has been that they begin to drop out at about 30-35 feet.

@0 to 30 feet is about the range of Bluetooth devices. I place my phone on my kitchen table many times while at home which is within 20 feet of my routine area. Another good feature is when you get out of range this device will beep and report your phone is not connected. This usually means I set my phone down and walked away from it. Never lost a phone with these devices.

No. This device is Bluetooth which has a range of maybe 30 to 50 feet normally.

I have no problems it's one of the best Bluetooth I have had. Good quality, love the long range you can be on another level or a distance from phone and have quality reception, everyone hear me good and the don't hear a lot of background noise. I hope this help you.

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.

You answer the phone by pushing down on the front of the Bluetooth device. The range is approx.; 30 feet in my case.

Hi there, Bluetooth signal range depends on conditions and on smart phone model. Different smart phones place Bluetooth antenna in different place, so if you cover that antenna with your hand - this makes signal weaker. Usually with Samsung android phone I can reach up to 50 meters if we there is no big waves. As Bluetooth (as any other radio signals) does not go through water. After Apple iOS update, ~week or two ago, there was huge improvement in how Apple handles Bluetooth and range improved a lot. With Apple iPad we can reach 40 meters no problem. But please try to find best position how to hold your phone, as this influence a lot.
