Straight out of the package it paired with my phone with no issues. I did wear them everyday. -battery life is not as excellent as my previous LGs. Ive had this for about 6 months now, and I am just really disappointed with the bluetooth. The "opals" are clearly not genuine stones which I expected but either the model shown has really tiny ears or these are a smaller size than shown. Washing them with vinegar and hand drying will clean them up. I am usually a 6 but this 6 seems more like 6. I’ll purchase again. Give a little more bass response. These tops fit perfect.
