I rarely give 5-star reviews because I'm fairly hard to please. This headset earns a 5 from me for the following reasons: 1) Has multi-point pairing for TWO cell phones (see the manual for how). Please note it won't, however, pair with a cell phone and a different type of device (at least not in my experience); I tried pairing this with my laptop and my cell phone and the laptop will not see the device. I did not try it in the reverse order, laptop first then cell phone, but I don't think it works that way either. 2) The sound quality it pretty darn good. I use it to watch TV shows on Hulu on my laptop sometimes so I can keep the sound private and the sound is way better than laptop speakers. Yeah, I know that doesn't mean much, but it's also as good as my headphones. 3) The charge. It lasts a LONG time. I kept the earphone on for more than 24 hours straight and used it for 6 hours of that time and it still was not completely dead. Charging is also...

I am using this with my iPhone 4 and thus far it seems to work fine. It arrived in a small box with the charger and an extra ear hook, and it also came with optional ear rubbers so you don't have to use the ear hook. I charged it overnight. I followed the simple directions, and it paired with my iPhone 4 without even having to enter the four digit pairing code. This is because some devices, like the iPhone, support an automatic pairing feature. The power button is a slider and is located so that you will not mistake it for the talk button. The volume up/down buttons also are distinct from the talk button, so I am not making any mistakes when I reach up to use it when it is over my ear. The talk button is easy to use. Press to answer or end call. Press and hold to reject an incoming call, or to place an existing call on hold, or to switch between two calls. The little LED on the side turns from Blue to Violet to Red to indicate how much power is left. You can turn on a...

Seems to hold a charge well, and the sound is great. Bonus: It even picks up the music playing in my iPhone. My last Bluetooth didn't. Granted, the sound isn't as good as regular headphones or ear buds, but it's pretty nifty. Minus: While turning it on during a call (and I do that often), if I turn the device on I have to hear an annoying "Power On. Device Connected." which lasts for a few seconds -- and which mutes you and your caller. A few seconds of this is a pain. I have NO idea why Samsung thought that hearing some female saying this nonsense was better than a quick beep or something. Other than that, it's fine.
