Expensive piece of junk!

I am so disappointed in this product. It is nothing like my previous Motorola Bluetooth that eventually died after years of constant use. The Sonic riders sound quality is like a conversation occuring in a fish tank. It is difficult to understand the person on the other end, especially at highway speeds. It is very muffled. Likewise the person I called has trouble understanding me too. It's a constant "what did you say?" from both parties. I have the volume at its highest but it doesn't help. The person on the other end can even hear the beeping from me pressing the volume buttons. How annoying! And unlike my previous model, it never connects automatically to my phone upon car entry, it doesn't announce my name nor does it tell me the battery level. I have to switch the Sonic riders on/off and disconnect/reconnect from my iPhone Bluetooth setting until Sonic riders engages again and finally recognizes my name and announces battery level. But of course I don't remember to do this until I receive a call or I have to make one while on the road this defeating the purpose of safe driving. What a expensive piece of junk! Wish I could return or exchange it but it is too late since I didn't open the package until I returned from a 4 week trip out of state. I do give it 4 stars for battery life and voice recognition and 2 star for sound quality. The battery probably lasts so long since it is disengaged for the most part. Overall product quality is 2 stars.
