If you can get Bluetooth at 30 feet, you're doing *very* well. My experience
with my Bluetooth headset (for listening to talking books or for hands-free
phone calls) is that it starts to drop out when I walk from one side of a
room to the other, even without any obstructions in between.

As mentioned there are several 'ranges' (really power of the
transmitter) .

It is possiable that as you have a head set device it was rated for only
3 meters (just about 10 feet). Those were probably designed for using
short range items like the ear buds to a cell phone where you keep the
phone in your pocket and use the ear bud to talk and listen. Same for
the ones in a car for hands free operation.

You have to ballance the transmitted power with the battery life and
weight of the ear buds.
