The term "wide" isn't typically used to describe Bluetooth; instead, we usually talk about its range - how far a Bluetooth signal can reach.
Based on typical usage, we can interpret "wide" as the range or distance Bluetooth can cover. Commercial Bluetooth devices, like smartphones and headphones, generally have a range of about 33 feet.
Here's a breakdown of Bluetooth range:
-
Class 2 Devices: Most common devices fall into this category, offering a range of approximately 33 feet (10 meters). The reference confirms this range for typical commercial electronics.
-
Bluetooth 5.0 and Above: Newer versions of Bluetooth, such as 5.0 and later, are designed to improve range and signal quality. While the reference mentions this enhancement, it does not quantify the exact increase.
Therefore, when someone asks "How wide is Bluetooth?", it's usually referring to its effective range, which is typically around 33 feet for common devices, though this can vary depending on the Bluetooth class and version.
