The range is quite important, a 4x improvement is a pretty big accomplishment.

Although, obstacle/wall penetration is probably still fairly poor.

The range is really the limiting factor in IoT uses IMO...

If the range can reliably get from my front pocket to my earbuds I'll be much happier with it.

You earbuds are not low-energy, so no change for you.

Welp. I'm sure it doesn't help that I have Soundpeats QY7 earbuds that I got on sale for <$10. Higher end ones must work better?

OTOH my Sony bluetooth speaker has stutters when I'm too far away in a 1-br apartment, so who knows.
