It's a great blue tooth
I purchased this for the object of utilizing it during my workouts. I'm a runner, and I'd say this is ok for workouts but not really for running. It bounces up and down. Although it doesn't weigh much it does get irritating. When not working out, I forget it's around my neck. As for the sound quality, not much in the bass area, but the sound does come through ok. The volume buttons only work for increasing the volume 3 notches up or 3 notches down. You'd have to rely mostly on your phone volume to adjust appropriately. The treble is a little high but like I said, the sound is decent. Incoming calls are clear, although those on the other end say they hear the background noise and me. Callers say that I sound clear but also sound like I'm distant, like in a hole or restroom or something to that affect. Since the mic hole is actually located within the location where the ear buds are to sit when not in use. Speaking of the buds, they do have a tendency to work away from being loose from it's magnetized connection and end up dangling around your neck. You do have to train yourself to remember which side the call button and music play buttons are on. As far as portability, I usually like to keep my stuff in my purse, but I feel odd carrying this in my purse due to the neck cord is flexible to wrap around the neck, it's not as forgiving to be bent into a smaller package for portability reasons. I use it around the office which is good, and has a good range of playing when away from your phone. Since I use this for working out I'm a little worried about potential for shorting due to sweat. I've had a friend that recently happened to with this model. It was only a month or so old at that time. I do like that it tells you verbally when the battery is high or low.
