For my money, this is a very nice product. Please note that this is NOT for iPhones, it will not work well, they have another product for the iPhone. I paid $30 for this unique product, and I think it's awesome for the price. Paired up with my ancient LG CU500 on the first try, the volume was good, and the sound quality was just as good as when I used the headphone jack. Also worked well with my newer Samsung Solstice. If the sound is bad for you, then try it with a pair of bluetooth headphones, and see how it sounds then; the problem may be the streaming quality of your phone, or your phone doesn't support A2DP (properly).
