Before you start to read my long winded review, know that I give the product a thumbs up!The product is pretty cheap, and is kind of a "rag-tag" device.When I first recevied it in the mail (shipping was very quick) I thought it was broken because I heard a slight ratteling inside when I shook it gently. Then, when I plugged the device into my computer with the supplied USB cable, nothing happened. At first, I was upset because I figured it was defective. But with some quick trouble shooting I realized it was the supplied USB cable that wasn't working. I own a Play Station 3 and the charging cable used to charge the PS3 game controller is the exact same size you need for the ear piece recorder. Lucky for me, it worked!Now the directions, are obviously translated by someone who didnt look closely for grammar errors or have english as their primary language. I would HIGHLY suggest you use my comment as a tool to help you understand how to work the device, and save yourself about an hour of playing around. Heres how it works: There are three buttons- the big one on the side that looks like the "answer/hang up" button, and two little ones ontop of the device that would normally be the audio volume up/down buttons. When you first have the device all charged up, you press and hold the "answer/hang up" button on the side turn the device on. Here is where it gets a tad bit tricky: The little button closes to the camera lens part is the button that toggles between "picture" mode and "video with audio" mode. The little button farthest away from the camera lens part is for "Audio Only".To take a picture, press the front "volume up" top button (closest to the camera lens) until the yellow light on the side is flashing between yellow and blue. This means your in picture only mode. Press the "answer/hangup" button to take a picture. It will take about 2 seconds to take the picture and another 2 seconds for it to save.To take a video, press the front "volume up" top button until the yellow light on the side is a constant yellow. This means you are now in video with audio mode. Press the "answer/hangup" button to start taking video (the light on the side will be a constant blue when recording) and press it again to stop the video. The first second or two will seem a little laggy, but it should quickly clear up after a split second.For audio only, press the rear "volume up/down" button. Now, for this you DO NOT need to press the answer/hangup button- it will automatically start recording audio only. To stop it from recording, you would press the same back volume up/down button again. You will not press the answer/hangup button at all. And the camera will automatically default BACK to video mode when you are done audio recording.Now, the only real complaint I have, and Im not sure if its because I just have kind of a chubby face, but about a third of the video is of the side of my face. I'm sure that with a little clever thinking, you could put something soft toward the front part of the camera to help push it out so you can get none of your face in the video. But for starters, I am VERY please with my device. One other thing- the part of the blue-tooth that holds the camera on your ear is very cheap. I reccommend being very careful because if that breaks, your screwed. It does not bend or have very much give. Also, the camera uses .AVI and only audio will process in Windows Media Player. The device comes with a small cd that has the VLC application on it that you can quickly download to your computer for your viewing pleasure.This is a great little device to have! Dont expect the world from it, but with a few slight modifications that would be relatively in-expensive and a bit of practice- I'm sure it will do whatever little sneakiness you need to accomplish.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1O8DYHJFHJO0G Recording a game of fetch is fun and hands-free using my new earpiece cam. Video quality is good but will not playback on Windows Media Player, use VLC Media Player to watch recordings.
