WORTH THE $$ I forgot and left it in my ear when I got in my jet tub. I somehow knocked it off my ear. It literally was swimming in my jet tub. Fished it out, shook it, and let it dry. Plugged it up the next morning, tried it AND IT STILL WORKS!!! I was totally shocked. Thought I had thrown my money literally down the drain. LOVE IT!! Now, if it would just stay charged longer...4.5 hours of talk/music listening time is just not enough :
