The BlueAnts two stereo speakers are separated by rocker switch controls. The top one controls volume, the bottom track control. The middle buttons, although on a rocker switch, have a call button and a pause/play button.
All of these switches work wirelessly. For speakerphone calls you値l need the regular old Bluetooth 1.1 specification. For wireless music you値l need a Bluetooth 1.2 Windows Mobile Device that supports A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) and the ATC for track control. When you pair the speakers with your Treo (passcode of 1234), you値l be presented with tick boxes for both hands free and wireless stereo. If you simply want to use the unit as a mini-boom box, you値l just check the latter box.
The unit charges from a svelte AC adapter, which is 100-240v capable. The first charge takes about three hours and the amber light will turn green when complete. Subsequent charges should take around 2 hours. The unit is rated for 10 hours at 60db, for those of you who want to hurt your ears, you値l only get 5 hours to do damage at 90db. Beneath the charging port on the back of the speaker system are two inputs: one for a microphone (not included), the other for a line in if you wanted to use the speaker system with a computer or iPod. Included in the box is a cable of about 4 inches that is necessary for such a connection.
