I'm amazed at what this unit is able to do for its small size, sound is incredibly crisp and clear.
This has been discussed on list before so I hope people don't mind if I repeat a few things. If you plan to use Siri then you have to be very careful about the Bluetooth device you buy to pair with your IOS device as many just don't have the Band Width required for Siri to work correctly. I've looked at quite a few different Hands Free Speakers and many are still using the Bluetooth 2.0 or 2.1 standards. Whilst this will suffice reasonably well for music streaming its no good whatever for HD Voice communication, Facetime or Siri, the clarity of the human voice just isn't available to use.
