I just purchased my second BT500 after my first one needed replacement after 3 yrs. It would have lasted longer, but I probably dropped it about 500 times. (not exagerrating!) Even so, it was still working, but it was cracked and time for replacement.When I first got it, the price was well over 100.00, I just picked up the new one for 30+. What a great buy! All BT's are fairly cheap nowadays, but this one is a great value. Great sound quality, ,ease of use, suberb battery. When your not wearing it, it looks bigger than most, although its thin and lite. It wears very well. I only find it slightly annoying when wearing winter coats as when I turn my head to the right it will hit the collar slightly. Its probably an issue with any BT, but thats the only "complaint" I have.The one downside for many is where do you put it when not wearing it? I tend to toss it in my chest pocket, but thats what made me drop it so often when I bend. It doesnt fit well in a pants pocket, but it can be "hung" off a shirt or pocket by kinda keeping it half in/half out.Anyway, its a winner and worthy of consideration in your BT search.
