I work in a noisy environment. I need to protect my hearing, but I also enjoy listening to audiobooks and podcasts while doing long repetitive tasks. I tried two other Bluetooth solutions before purchasing this item. The first, a set of Bluetooth headphones, worked fine for several months and then suddenly refused to connect. I've gone through the entire pairing process multiple times with no success. At $90, they were pretty expensive for such a short time. I then tried headphones (UTF8), which I highly recommend, and a separate Bluetooth receiver. The headphones worked great but the receiver died after a month! Was replaced by this receiver. I leave my phone charged on my desk and slip this receiver into my shirt pocket. It has a significantly greater range than the other two receivers. Battery life is a bit shorter, but at this affordable price point, it was easy to buy a second receiver, so I always kept one charged while listening to the other. Six months later it's still working.
