Wireless audio is at its best when you forget the phone exists. Leave it on the desk, walk to the kitchen, keep listening. The limit is range, and indoors that limit is often shorter than the box suggests. The AULA A500's Bluetooth 5.4 link is rated at about 10m, so here is what Bluetooth headset range looks like in a real home, and how to keep your audio from breaking up.

Quick Answer

About 10m: the AULA A500 (R639 at Evetech) has Bluetooth 5.4 rated for roughly that range in open space. Indoors, walls, doors, furniture and even your own body shorten it. Leave the phone in one room and the audio may start to stutter a room or two away. Keeping the phone on you, or in the same room, gives the most reliable connection.

📏 Why range shrinks indoors

A 10m rating assumes a clear line between the headset and the phone. Homes are full of things that absorb or block radio signals:

  • Walls, especially thick or dense ones, weaken the signal as it passes through.
  • Doors and furniture add more obstacles along the path.
  • Your body is mostly water, which absorbs Bluetooth signals well. A phone in a back pocket on the opposite side from the headset has to reach around you.
  • Other wireless devices, such as Wi-Fi routers, can add interference in busy homes.

So while 10m may hold in an open-plan room, a couple of walls can reduce the useful range considerably.

Brick walls

Solid brick and concrete block, common in many homes, are harder on radio signals than lighter internal walls. If your audio drops as soon as you step into another room, a solid wall between you and the phone is the likely cause.

📱 Pocket or desk?

For moving around the house, the most reliable option is keeping the phone on you. With the phone in a front pocket or clipped to you, the distance stays short and there are no walls in the way.

If you prefer to leave it on the desk, stay in the same room or an adjoining open space. Once you pass through a door and a wall, expect the connection to weaken.

☕ Making tea on a call

A short trip to the kitchen during a call is fine if the kitchen is close and the path is open. If it is on the other side of the house, take the phone with you. A dropped call is more disruptive than a paused song. The A500's hidden boom mic works as normal while you walk: bring it down to speak, push it up to go quiet.

If the audio stutters

  • Move closer to the phone, or bring it with you.
  • Clear the line of sight, for example by moving the phone from a back pocket to a front one.
  • Reduce interference by moving away from a busy Wi-Fi router.
  • Re-pair if the connection keeps dropping even up close.

🔋 All-day wear around the house

Walking around with the A500 all day is easy on the battery. Its 1000mAh cell is rated by AULA for about 100 hours with ANC off, or around 60 with cancelling active. For a day moving around the house, you may prefer transparency mode so you can still hear the doorbell and people nearby.

For the PC, the A500 also uses a 2.4GHz USB receiver, and it can hold that link and a phone on Bluetooth at the same time. A 3.5mm audio cable is included too.

The black A500 is part of Evetech's line-up; weigh it against other models on the wireless headset page, or across the full gaming headsets range. Local support comes through Evetech, with a 1 Year Local Warranty.
