I was skeptical about this little guy, specially because its size. I also have a blue ant, which is bigger, more expensive and not as good as this.From opening the package and having it paired with my phone I took around 5 minutes (including instructions reading).We tested it in our living while watching TV, and here are our impressions:- It can be VERY loud, so even if you are a little bit death, you can hear it;- The volume control is very easy to use and lets you set the exact volume you want;- It doesn't catch the ambient noise, so even if you have your radio on, the other person will hardly hear it.The CON is the power button that is somewhat badly located on the equipment;If you need a blue tooth, this is the best you can get and also the best bang for the buck
