Loud static with bluetooth pairing; resetting device makes unit unuseable

The Bluetooth reception is rather good, but there is a very loud and constant static when pairing that is not there with a wired connection. I tried cleaning the aux output and then resetting the device, which made it unusable altogether since it is stuck blinking red and blue lights. I initially got this because I was impressed with the different capabilities of the device, but after using it, I am unlikely to purchase any product from the manufacturer unless I am in the market for something that flashes red and blue lights on a five hour battery.
