Human bodies, brick and concrete walls, and heavy furniture or bookcases will reduce the operational range of your Bluetooth devices. Glass, dry-wall or wood paneled walls and office partitions may have a less severe but noticeable effect. You should position your Bluetooth devices closer to each other if you observe communication difficulties.
