Review by John Folk

I’m very pleased with the size and quality of the product. It’s tiny, with just enough of the unit exposed so that it can be easily grasped and removed. It performs quite well with a good range (I was able to walk anywhere in a 15x15 room without loss of connectivity).

The product does come with a CD that contains both the basic drivers as well as the application that I needed to make this headset work with Skype on my Windows XP machine.

If I may offer a tip for fellow Skype users to help reduce frustration: Insert the dongle into the USB slot & allow XP to install the drivers. Then, go to the CD & install the BTW utility that applies to your operating system. If the CD doesn’t auto-run, just open the drive via My Computer & double click on the index.html icon. It will walk you though several options, including pairing a headset. Finally, go into Skype’s audio settings (Tools/Options/Audio Settings) and choose blue tooth from the drop down lists for microphone, speakers, ringing, what ever you want to work through the headset.

I have had to re-select the Bluetooth option in Skype each time I shut down my PC. I believe that is an issue with Skype though & not an issue really related in any way to the dongle. It’s a painless 3 clicks, so it’s not a huge deal in my opinion.

I’m really glad that I bought it based both on the performance & the fact that it was a third of the cost of similar items sold in local stores.
