As well as this you can stream things like music and GPS directionsfrom your phone, via Bluetooth and integrated A2DP,straight to your headset.

The battery life was very good for me. A full charge was always achieved within what feels like an hour or less. Then I would get "11" hours of talk-time according to the headset and a few times I tried to run it down and I felt like I got about 10 or so hours of actual use (not standby) before I got a low battery warning). I could usually go 2-3 days between charges on this thing before it got down to "3" hours of talk-time and that's when I would re-charge it.

Since this bluetooth headset basically sits on top of your ear and the "earbud" is shallow it was almost impossible to use while driving on the interstate. I drive an E250 van for work. It has front seats and everything behind that is sheet metal so serious road noise. At low speeds I can hear a person on the headset, but once speeds get up past 60 the road noise is too much and it drowns out the speaker even at max volume. Put on the headphones and turn them on. For the first time you do this, the pairing process will begin. You will hear "pairing" and the indicators on the headphones will flash red and blue.
