Bluetooth Speaker Glitches and Microwaves
Bluetooth speakers can experience glitches when a microwave is in use due to interference caused by overlapping frequencies. Both Bluetooth and microwaves operate around the 2.5 GHz frequency range, which can lead to signal disruption. A small amount of microwave energy does escape, but it is not harmful; the main concern is the coinciding frequencies that affect device performance. To reduce interference, keeping the Bluetooth speaker further away from the microwave and adjusting the Wi-Fi settings may help.
