Is that inches or feet? With my bose qc35 I can walk 5 to 10 meters away from my phone/computer. (10 if clear view, 5 if wall)

1.5 meters seems very little and 18 meters seems too much.

At work I can leave my phone in my office and go get a drink from the kitchen without the audio dropping out. It's probably a good 15 meters away with 2 walls in between.

Ditto. I can walk to the restroom and my QC35 don't disconnect. 15+m, 2 walls (all tile bathroom walls) in between. Not so much as a crackle.

I'm jealous. With my QC35 if I walk more than about 10 feet the connection gets very stuttery.

Single quote is feet and double is inches, so 18 meters.

Huh. It's interesting, because I come from a country which uses only metric units, so whether someone writes a single or double quote is reduced to meaning "this weird imperial unit". I definitely wrote 20' and 20" meaning a 20 inch monitor before.
