    Have had mine for six months and can't get it to work even though the british dame says "your headset is connected", and it is charged up. Could it be time to get a new one? Have to answer the hand held now. Stinks.

    That's what my old headset does.

    Didn't like coming out in a driving rain with me.

    Oh, well.

    Live and keep the Parrot's feet from getting wet... (learn)

    Mine continuously amazes me. I've had it a year and a half. Hardly ever charge it and usually forget to turn if off. We'll worth the hundred I think I paid for it. Now I see it's $75.

    Have had mine for 14 months. Can be temperamental with the iPhone at times. Problem I'm having is the volume. It's not as loud anymore and it's only getting worse. Give it another month.

    My hubby kills them in about 6 months. I quit buying them for him, because he seems to abuse them enough to break them. Don't know what he does with them, but he's not getting another one. He's had the $30 radio shack one for over a year now. Its lasted him twice as long as either BP's did. LOL

    I've had mine for well over a year and had I not knocked it into a sink full of water it would still be going strong!

    where does he keep it? If he's just throwing it on the dash, it's just going to bake in the sun. I always hook mine up on a little adhesive hook above me head.
