What is the difference between the photive 4.0 bluetooth & 3.0 bluetooth?
789176
Bluetooth 4.0 is more energy efficient and has a faster throughput (more data at once). But these headphones already last long enough as it is (~10 hours) and the audio quality is great for the price. As far as these headphones go, Bluetooth 4.0 is largely unnecessary. Plus, the reason it's so cheap is probably because it only has 3.0, which is a worthy compromise, in my opinion.

Besides the speed and battery life, Bluetooth 4.0 allows you to connect to two devices at the same time. For instance, I could be listening to lectures on my computer and get a phone call on my cell, it would pause the lecture and ring in my ear telling me I have a phone call and I would be able to answer it just by pressing one button on the headphones.when I hang up, it resumes playing from my laptop. Data transfer rate and battery life differences between 3.0 and 4.0 are negligible in a pair of headphones in my opinion, but if you like the convenience of connecting to two devices at the same time, then its worth looking into.

I read through the whole manual and it doesn't say anything about working with bluetooth.

I do not have 4.0 but on mine if you hold on the device in the Bluetooth menu it should prompt you to choose automatic connect or to ask for password

I think so. It says Intel Wireless Bluetooth (R) 4.0 + Adapter. So I'm assuming that means it has Bluetooth 4.0.

They are bluetooth 3.0 but they're compatible with anything 2.0 and above. I use them with my Samsung Galaxy note 3 which is bluetooth 4.0.

since this is a receiver I do not think it matters. The transmitter is the one that needs 4.0. However due to size and features I would think it would be 2.0 at its best. I have used it and did not hear any difference between this unit and my 4.0 headset with Bluetooth coming from pc audio.

Yes, it's bt 3.0. and it really does have a long lasting battery. I'm very glad I bought it.

It's v3.0. Anything after 2.1 EDR has no difference in audio quality when comparing Bluetooth versions though.

usually all bluetooth devices are just "0000". All of the bluetooth devices that I have owned have been four Zeros, but yet I do not know for sure because I have an iPhone and I can't print through bluetooth. Hope I helped!

It says it has Bluetooth 4.0 but don't use it so wouldn't know how to find it!

The SB240 is only Bluetooth 2.1 and these are 4.0 so they're definitely not the same.

This unit uses bluetooth v3.0 and will communicate with other devices that use two way (intercom) capability utilizing v3.0 as well. Keep in mind the SMH5 will only connect to 3 remote users at one time. I have not found any definitive proof that "all v3.0" BT devices can or will communicate with "all v3.0" BT devices. My feedback is only in terms of actual expectations based on specifications of the BT v3.0 and their stated "standards".

This laptop was a gift to my mother. I had to read the product description on bhphotovideo.com to confirm that, YES, this laptop has Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity.

Jim, Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I checked into your question and the one I have is the V3-5BPS (not V3-5CPS). It was sent as a gift and was told it was purchased on Amazon. I'll make the correction. I couldn't find the V3-BPS model on Amazon. So the V3-5BPS model does not have bluetooth. I'll remove my review as not to provide erroneous info.

It will work with any bluetooth device. I use it with my touchpad all the time. As far as bluetooth 4.0 -- if it backward compatible to 2.0 I'm sure you're fine.

Hmmm - online search yielded an owners manual that says it is: Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate). I'm not much help beyond that.

I don't know there to be a difference however if you are planning on using the mobile app for it beware. I purchased mine only to find out the app for iPhones is unavailable for an unspecified time. It's quite a hassle to track every meal on the computer for me rather than on phone on the go. Also see no need for the blue tooth aspect if can't use on the go. I have to plug mine into computer several times to see where I'm at. A lot of effort without the app. Also suppose to link with other apps like my fitness pal however that is down too for unspecified time. Disappointed to say the least.
