Bluetooth headphone problems

[Dobbydoodah]

My Bluetooth headphones keep losing contact while running, its so annoying. Do you think it could be that they were cheap or that I live really? I don't want to invest in expensive ones if I get the same problem. I would be grateful for any info, thanks

Not sure where you are trying to say you live, possibly out in the sticks?. I do run in a pretty rural area and don't lose connection. I use downloaded playlists. My phone is in either a flipbelt or zipped pocket around waist level...

Thanks, yes, meant to be rural! I think it must be because they were cheap. Think I must invest in better ones. Thanks for your reply.

Bluetooth connectivity shouldn’t have anything to do with cell signal at all. It’s strictly a connection between the headphones and the phone. You can use Bluetooth even when you’ve turned off your WiFi and you cellular signal on your phone.

I got a pair of Soundcore Spirit X headphones for about $30.00 I think. They’re an older model now, I think there’s a Spirit X2 that’s newer and more expensive. I also prefer the kind where there’s a wire running between the two earbuds because I feel like I’m less likely to lose them like that and that type is also less expensive than the totally wireless kind where each earbud is separate.

Oh I didn't realise that, it must be due them being cheap then. I will look at better ones. Thank you.

I find that the times I've used true wireless earbuds (just earbuds, no wire between them), they'd regularly lose connection between them, and I'd have sound in one ear only. I suppose my skull is just too dense for the signal to go between them.

For other Bluetooth headphones, I find that changing the position of the phone on the body can help.

😂hadn't thought about bone density, mine can't be that dense as I am getting on bit! I only have a pocket a the back of my shorts, no where else to put it! Thanks
