    Did some reviews prior to buying thought it was going to be good it's not. Terrible connection had to stay within 5ft of phone. Also only comes with a thick strap but doesn't come in a car adapter or home adapter. You have to buy your own or use one from another device. Save your money not worth it. Returned it and bought another brand.

    Love it so far. I made this purchase because I wanted the item but, I was supposed to get $15 coupon by also adding my card to a central Best buy app. No coupon!

    I used this Bluetooth headset for 1 trip and quickly returned to a Best Buy to exchange for a different model. The headset caused inner ear pain after wearing for an extended period of time. The sound performance was great - the comfort was not.
