Headphones are the big benefactor here, for me at least. I can walk to the kitchen with my wireless headphones.
I've found that microwave interferes very strongly with Bluetooth headphones
Bluetooth 5 will quadruple the range, double the speed

#52What does bluetooth not require support for multiple simultaneous devices. Have more than one device that won't let you connect more than one at a time.

If it were anyone else this would be flagged as blogspam. Sometimes he can bring insight, but these Tweet-like posts don't add anything to the conversation.
who is he?

#55I don't need more range or more speed. I need it to reliably connect and stay connected while devices are well within range of each other, and stop breaking every time I upgrade anything. Unfortunately that would require making it less complex, which is about as likely as a broken egg spontaneously reassembling.
The dropped audio, stutters, and need to reconnect are driving me crazy. I've now switched back to a generic audio cable.
Bluetooth reliability really is dire, the phone is within 10m of wherever the car transceiver is and in the designed hotspot too (inside the car) and it still fails.

I'm currently wearing a heart monitoring device that communicates over Bluetooth and would greatly benefit from greater range. Which is to say, there's certainly a market for folks needing greater range.
What something like a heart monitor would need above anything else is reliability.

The only things that seems to do this reliably are PS4 controllers with my PC.

I have a Nexus 6p, which I connect to my car via Bluetooth for music and navigation. The dropped audio, stutters, and need to reconnect are driving me crazy. I've now switched back to a generic audio cable.

As a matter of fact "more range" is quite the opposite of what I want from Bluetooth. Do I really need to have 5000 keyboards within range of my computer at the office, instead of the 100 I already have? I definitely do not.
