Fantastic Product.. Portable and lightweight and perfect to take on the road or on vacation so I can listen to my I-phone music files in a wireless environment..

Moreover, I was listening to music when someone called and the blunote started ringing, I pushed the PTT button and the music faded and I was then on a crystal clear conference call. The person I spoke to also commented that I sounded clear as well which was weird.. When I finished the call, the music came back on – really cool..

Very impressive sound quality and nice to look at too!

Pairing with my iPhone was very easy. Sound quality maintained when moving to adjacent rooms, within about 25 feet.

Especially like that it can be powered by AC cord or AA batteries, makes the option of traveling cordless so much easier when using cheap, widely available battery format. Will also be nice to have for the typical winter storm power outages. Great product!

**** Updated Opinion December 3, 2009 ****:

The Aura BluNote was never recognized by any of the multiple SONY computers and APPLE laptops as a “Speaker.” Regardless… the speaker sounds fantastic – far better than the laptops built-in speaker system. I guess I’ll never know if sound quality could be improved if paired as a “speaker” since it’s paired as a “Bluetooth headset.” Spracht and SONY technicians are currently looking into the matter. Perhaps they can resolve the pairing issue and post a response. Thanks Detorres and Lucian!

**** Original November 21, 2009 Opinion when I rated the BluNote 1-Star out of 5-Stars ****:

I was very exited about the prospect of hooking up the Aura BluNote WS-4010 Portable Wireless Speaker to my Sony Vaio VGN-Z750D laptop. The enthusiam quickly disappeared when the device was detected as a headset! The vastly inadequate User Guide that comes with the unit clearly indicates on page 7 “Do not pair as headset or earphone”. Spracht also includes in the packaging a colored glossy piece of paper titled “Vital Pairing Information” and it too boldly states “Do not pair as headset or earphone.” Both the Guide and the glossy indicate “please call Spracht Customer Service” for help. My call went directly to what appears to be a tech guy’s voice mail. The answering service sounded nothing like the typical Company automated voice messaging system. I’ll be pleasantly surprised if I get a answer; but, have no such expectations. If I do get a response/resolution, I will certainly return with an update.
