I agree. The pairing issue is a pain, but let's get serious here. I have turned my already nice car stereo into a bluetooth receiving device without having to upgrade to a newer model. All that for thirty bucks. I'm happy, The pairing is agreeably an annoyance, but only adds about 20 seconds to having wireless music. Quality is great, and I am picky about music quality, as I am both a musician and have a home recording studio. No loss in frequencies ranging from 20Hzish to 20kHz IMO. Best Buy associate stated it is not really good enough quality for a home stereo. I paired it with my Onkyo Receiver and Cerwin Vega 12" speakers, and it slapped the beats! (that's a good thing. Shook the house). For the uses I stated, I would suggest you get it. Battery life is about 4 hours. Proprietary charging unit is scary. Don't lose it or you're out of luck.
What's great about it: Sound quality
What's not so great: have to pair it every use, proprietary charging interface
