Actually much easier to use than expected. It took me about 3 minutes to set up and the headset was ready to go. Since this is my first bluetooth headset, I have no point of reference to use as a comparison. However, I will say the battery life is better than expected. With moderate use, I can go days without charging. Sound quality is decent, slightly less than with a wired headset. Overall, based on the previous reviews, I'm was quite suprised and ultimately very satisfied.
