Do you have to have a direct line of sight with bluetooth source?

No, but the signal can get interfered with depending on the object. It might cut out a bit. For best sound try not to be in different rooms

Depending upon the distance my phone or iPad is away from the speaker determines the bluetooth link. Greater than 15 feet the signal drops out. especially if my body is between the speaker and the phone. Pairing some times takes several attempts. However the speaker works well for me most of the time. If you have paired it with another device you must first disconnect that device through the general settings. Only one will pair at a time.

You would need the optional bluetooth adapter in order to do that, it can't do that through the network interface

It does not require a line of sight. My wife can use it upstairs to control the temperature of the thermostat located downstairs.

Yes. The Bluetooth remote is much faster and does not require line of sight. I think the picture is higher quality because of the much improved and more modern processor. You may want to try one in the location it is used the most. Some people have complained about the wireless. I use the ethernet connection and that works well.

It does not, however you can use a bluetooth transmitter to bridge the gap.

I think the XS has an RF remote which doesn't require direct line-of-sight. For other types that use an IR remote, the company claims the signal will bounce off the wall behind the unit and communicate that way. I didn't note any complaints about reception in the reviews so I'll take their word for it.

Maybe you're asking the wrong question. Bluetooth is intended to be used at close range - 10 to 15 feet or less. Since the PhoneLynx is to convert calls coming in on your cell phone to a jack where you can plug in your house phone, there's no need to separate your cellphone from the PhoneLynx by more than a few feet. If you want to answer your calls from other places around your house, plug the base unit of any cordless phone into PhoneLynx and use the cordless handset (or handsets) to answer the phone from where you are.

From what I could tell line of sight matters for longer distances. Anything like metal between the adapter will hinder the Bluetooth signal. The PC case or walls will slow down the signal. But if you're using the Bluetooth in one room everything should be ok I would think. Also I read today on Wikipedia that USB 3.0 devices have been shown to interfere with the signal. You may want to look at the wikipedia entry.

Since this product uses WiFi instead of Bluetooth, the range is slightly more complicated, but should generally be much broader. There are two parts to consider, with your WiFi router being the key. Your source device (iPhone, iPod, etc.) needs to have a good connection to your WiFi network, so your range will depend on that. This unit needs to have a very good connection to the WiFi as well and should be located as close to your router as possible, but many factors can impact this, such as the number of walls in between and even the number of electrical wires in those walls. Certain electrical units can impact WiFi signals as well, such as dimmer switches, cordless phones and microwave ovens. If you have dead spots in your WiFi coverage or you're not getting a good signal in your desired location, you may want to consider relocating your router or installing a WiFi range extender.

Yes, but the person with the bluetooth will notice a very slight delay and here an echo. I don't find this to be a problem but some people might.

Yes, so you don't have to Bluetooth if you don't want to. I run mine from AC power plug with line-in if I'm not mobile, just to save the batteries in both for when I need them.

Yes you can. Your bluetooth device pairs to the base via bluetooth. The base then broadcasts the signal @ 2.4 GHz to max unobstructed distance of up to 120 ft. If you have another set just sit them on the paired base to sync up remove from base turn on & you have six speakers.

I have mine hooked up through Apple TV and it does all that you asked. Not sure about a direct connection.

Yes, it is the most direct and cleanest way to do that and the range if this device is very good. There may be cheaper ways to do it with another Bluetooth receiver and or using an audio cable adapter into the aux input, but would involve patch cables and may not perform as well and not be remote

No a cell is not required, the devices can be syncronized with other headsets. I actually ride with my cousin who purchased the same headset kit. It was a piece of cake to sync them up. The distance you can get apart isn't as far as they advertise but I really see no reason to get further than a half mile apart. Its all the time two way communication when they are synced up though. If you use bluetooth as well it interrupts as expected. You can listen to music while synced to another rider but only through the auxillary port.
