Does anyone know if this uses Bluetooth v2.1? Also, what is the actual use time like? The top says 9 hrs, but the product description says 6. Thanks!

I would say the actual use time (listening time, not including idle-connectivity) to be around 6 hours. I was a little disappointed by this, but if its charged with your phone/mp3 each time it should be no problem. Don't know about the bluetooth connectivity, but its worked with all my Android devices with no problems.

They had to disable internal support; as far as I know there were no updates; and it's a dead product idea; which is a shame because it worked really well. I just got a $14.95 bluetooth nub... I know there's only so many ports then you need a hub; but.... it's /nosupport.

The advertised talk time is 8 hrs. I use mine as a2dp for streaming music primarily, for streaming the life is 2 hrs. max. So, the best I have ever achieved is 3-4 hrs since I have never used it exclusively on stand-by. Also, this bluetooth takes 3 hrs. mnmum to fully charge on empty.

I took 26 days for mine to get here. I ordered it on July 2nd and I just got it yesterday the 28th. It sounds good and feels comfortable, but after pairing it with my bluetooth dongle on my PC it won't work because it can't find any drivers for it.

Hi Elaine... Yup I have the same process going on- probably the only downer - I have to grab another device and go thru Bluetooth settings to rediscover and hit the button on the unit - a bit frustrating. I'm still super happy with it for the price ! Hope that helps ..,. Ciao'

Not sure if this is the same, the 2.0 has Bluetooth 4.0... I think this one maybe with Bluetooth 2.1???

I haven't tried to use Bluetooth with it. So hadn't tried to set it up. Therefore I Honestly can't answer that question. Sorry.

The 360 IS a better unit!! Supply and demand?? Which sellers and etc...many things determine price. However the 360 IS a better unit. Even if you have no plans to use the bluetooth why not buy the cheaper and better unit, which is the 360? I also suspect that most WILL use the bluetooth. I have several cell phones and PDA's and several different bluetooth units such as the wireless ear unit, wireless geadset and etc....I did not think I would use the bluetooth on the 360.....now I almost cant see not having it. No more headsets, no more weird things on my ear. I use the bluetooth in my home, office, car, almost anywhere I go or anywhere I am at. It works so good you do not ever have to touch the unit or the phone as the vlice commands work excellent. If you are using the bluetooth and NOT the GPS, the GPS is auto-off with the flip-ten down. So leave the Flip-set down and GPS is off and you'll get about 12 hours of bluetooth ability before the battery even starts to drain.Great for in the home or office or any place you are not using GPS. If you are using GPS and bluetooth then you'll simply use a little more battery, but the GPS works flawlessly while also using bluetooth and vice-versa.....

I have read complaints regarding bluetooth connection problems on several sites. I just got my env2 a couple of days ago and have had the same problem with other headsets. I don't think this is unique to just this headset. Sounds like a problem with env2 to me. I am heading to the Verizon store right now to address the issue. I will update if I have any news after my visit.

I think key things to look for are, slow connectivity and responsiveness; and the other would be if the light does not lit up where it shows which bluetooth #1,2, or 3 is connected to. So far, mine has lasted awhile, I think it's been over 3 months and my battery is not completely drained. Hope this helps.

Always, always update the Bluetooth stack on your computer or device before returning anything, it it is not updated automatically and updates will likely fix any issues. I haven't been using mine with the dongle so I don't know about issues there

Once connected, I've had no problems with the bluetooth. It has been somewhat finicky on the initial connection (sometimes requiring power down, slow connection, etc.), but has always worked.

It uses non-proprietary bluetooth (regular bluetooth often builtin to laptops.) I use two of them on two Win 7 laptops and have a brand new one still in the packaging for a backup since I did have one go bad within the warranty period but I couldn't wait for it so I bought one. I didn't think they were still available. :-)

Hi Josh, The Bluetooth will not pair up automatically. Thank you for interested in our products. Regards, Battery Superstore

i came here to ask same thing. love the speaker, really loud but battery went bad really fast and now i can only get about an hour use before it goes dead :'( and from others say i guess it's just a matter of time before it doesn't work at all.

I don't know - have only used it a couple of times and I don't use Bluetooth. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful

I love this little speaker. I just cant get the bluetooth to work. The battery life is amazing. Once i removed it from the package i used it right away with the cord and i have had it about 2weeks and just yesturday had to charge it.
