This is the BEST bluetooth I have ever used - EVER! I bought it because it was on sale at Staples and I had just lost my other one. Wow - did I luck out! What a GREAT bluetooth!! Here's why: (1) You know that earpiece that has to stick inside your ear with the other bluetooths? Well - this one doesn't have that! It's FLAT - nothing to stick inside your ear! (2) It's LOUD. You'd think that because it doesn't stick inside your ear you won't hear it? Nope! This bluetooth is LOUD & CLEAR. It's louder and clearer than any other bluetooth I've ever used. (3) Easy On/Off Switch - Just flip open the "boom" piece to turn it on, and flip it closed to turn it off. No holding a button down for 5-seconds. Just flip open for ON and flip closed for OFF. It's so simple! What a pleasure!
