Jabra SP710 Cruiser Bluetooth Car Kit Speakerphone with Blackberry miniUSB Car Charger for Blackberry Curve 8300 8310 8320 8330 8350i Smartphones Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After weeks of reading independent reviews, discussing various bluetooth items with my friends and searching for just the right bluetooth car kit I decided on the Jabra SP710, Cruiser. I ordered it on Amazon from a company called ccmaccessories. Delivery was quick, directions for use were clear and I attached it to my visor and couldn't wait to use it.
The first problem occurred when my brother said he couldn't understand me, since he could only hear every 3rd word and that word echoed a few times in his ear. Thinking I was in a bad signal area, I pulled my car over to turn off the Jabra and use my cell phone (Oregon has a new law banning the use of cell phones, you have to use a hands-free device). I noticed the phone had full bars, signifying that I was in a good area for excellent cell coverage. I called my brother back and it was so clear he thought I had gotten home and was using a land line. It wasn't the signal at all it was the Jabra. I thought maybe it was a faulty speaker, so I contacted the company and awaited their reply.
Since the Jabra SP710 Cruiser allows you to go through an empty FM frequency on your car radio I decided to try that. I had better luck with that feature, for talking on my cell phone, but now I couldn't listen to regular FM radio stations, use a CD or my Satellite radio. I tried to make the best of it, downloading songs onto my Blackberry 8330, but more problems cropped up. The Jabra has a lot of features, buttons to skip to the next track, or jump back to hear a song again. The buttons didn't work. To top it all off, now the start and end call features didn't work either.
I was lucky CCMACCESSORIES responded to my request with instructions on how to return my Jabra. I was out the shipping charges (both ways) but my credit card would be credited.

BlueAnt S4 Voice Controlled Car Speakerphone (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is best handsfree car speakerphone I've had so far. My first was a Motorola T305 which I found to be (barely) adequate. I then purchased a Blueant SuperTooth II which I used up until the purchase of this unit. I really liked the SuperTooth II in terms of call quality, amazing battery life and the convenience of the on/off switch being activated by the microphone boom. It was a bit limited in its feature set as newer models were being released, but it was/is a solid performer. Based on excellent reviews of the Motorola T505 and my desire to get a new gadget, I also purchased one of those. I was not particularly impressed with it in terms of call quality or ease of use and gave it to the same friend who inherited my Motorola T305.
I was ready to get a new handsfree (nothing wrong with the SuperTooth II, I just wanted a new gadget again) and was pleasantly surprised to learn BlueAnt had just released the new S4. I quickly ordered one and received it on Monday (I'm writing this on Saturday).
First thing I noticed after opening the box is that the S4 is noticeably smaller and lighter than the II. It is nicely finished and I find it to be much nicer looking than the II, almost elegant in appearance. The S4 does NOT come with an AC charger. Instead you are supplied with a cigarette lighter adapter and an approximately 11" long USB cable. The S4 uses a micro USB plug with the port on the side of the device, next to the slide on/off/battery save switch. The port is covered by a lighter gray cover. Also in the box are the manual and two sunvisor clips...one for thicker, one for thinner sunvisors. The unit is held to the sunvisor clips by two rather strong magnets.
After charging the S4 for a while...the battery is rated at 20 hours talk time and 700 hours standby, I paired it with my phone. That was easy, the first time you power up the S4 it talks you through the pairing procedure. For those who care, the S4 uses a male voice as opposed to the II's female one. (Edit: The SR does use a female voicxe for "answer or ignore" incoming calls (see below))
A couple of things to note so that you do everything in the correct order and don't have to repeat steps. The S4 has upgradeable firmware. The unit I received came with firmware version 1.2 and version 1.5 is currently available. The first thing you should do is go to BlueAnt's website and download the updater software. Follow the directions EXACTLY...if you don't press the phone icon "button" long enough...until both the green and red lights cycle on and off...the program won't run correctly (ask me how I know) and upgrade the firmware. After you are finished updating the S4, it has to be paired with your phone (all over again if you previously paired it prior to updating it). It will also be necessary to transfer your phone's contacts. If you transferred your phonebook prior to updating the firmware you will have to do it again. Also, and this is not clear from the manual, you have to disconnect the S4 from your computer to transfer your phonebook.So now that it was updated and set up, it's time to play with it. The main function of any handsfree kit is to allow you to communicate clearly with it. It that sense, the highest compliment you can pay such a device is that people don't know you are using it. Everyone I've asked during a call has indicated they could hear me clearly and weren't aware I was on a speakerphone, whether I was in my fairly quiet daily driver or my much louder sports car. The volume on the S4 is excellent and is adjusted by merely swiping your finger along the face of the unit. Note, the S4 does NOT have an FM transmitter. I did not want that function, but if you require it, this is not the unit for you.
The S4 has a few LED lights that can be easily turned off by voice command if desired. The voice command system has worked flawlessly and truly renders the S4 a handsfree unit. You can check battery level, activate your phone's voice dialing, redial, call back your last incoming call, confirm connection to your phone, adjust voice recognition sensitivity, update your phonebook and access Bing's 411 service (in my area with my carrier) all though voice commands. When a call comes in, the S4 announces either the contact's name or telephone number and asks if you want to answer or ignore the call. You can answer or ignore calls be either voice command or tapping the phone icon on the face of the unit...one tap to answer, two to ignore and a single tap to terminate the call. If you transferred your phone's contacts, the S4 announces the name for incoming call, otherwise just the number.
In the week I've had the S4 I've been very impressed with its call quality, feature set and convenience. Battery level is still at high after the initial charge. Assuming you don't need the FM transmitter function, I believe this is an excellent choice and recommend it without hesitation or other qualification.

Plantronics K100 Bluetooth Speakerphone Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is my first bluetooth phone product and I am quite pleased. It was quick and easy to set up and there are only a few buttons (they are large) so it's very easy to use while driving without being distracted.
You clip this to your visor and once it's turned on, it should sync with your phone (assuming you've done the initial phone setup). To answer a call, you press the big button in the middle (disconnect the call the same way). There is also a handy volume control wheel. It was pretty clear for me as well as the people on the other end of the line. I've talked to many people with bluetooth speaker phones in their cars and almost always I will hear the echo of my own voice (annoying)...this does not do that, clear as a bell! You can also do voice dialing to make it even more hands free.
It uses an internal rechargeable battery and comes with a usb to micro usb cable to do that, as well as a car plug with a usb slot so you can charge on the go. An added bonus is that the plug can also be used to charge any other usb device in your car. You can also use this as a small external speaker, I like to use it with my phone's navigation system so that I can listen to music on my car speakers and hear the navigation directions when I need to. Love it!

Jabra SP700 Bluetooth Speakerphone Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a really cool device.
I got one for my wife so she could answer and talk on the phone without looking for her headset and turning it on.
Product works as advertised, and in fact has a number of novel features.
The only "Con" is that it does not support a 2 phone household. It can only be paired to a single phone. It does not support multipoint or dual pairing like some other prodicts (the Jawbone headset). This means that to reconnect it to the secondary phone you must pair it again.
Other than that:
1) It's very loud. easy to hear
2) uses standard USB to charge
3) The FM feature allows you to listen to the caller through your car stereo
4) the caller ID of the caller is spoken to you and broadast on your radio using RDS (so you can see the text of the phone number). Very nead.
5) it announced when it has turned on, off, paired, enabled FM. It's fantastic to get this audible feedback so you know it's working.
I highly reccomned this to anyone who needs a speakerphone for their car. My only caveat is that if you plan to share a car with 2 people it's not so great unless one person only uses the SP700. I would have given it 5 stars if it supported dual pairing.

Motorola MOTOROKR T505 - Speaker phone - wireless - Bluetooth Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The T505 is a good hands free bluetooth. Clips on the visor with spring steel clip. Has FM option to hear caller through your car stereo.
I would like it better if it automatically paired with my phone when I get in the car, but a push of the call button accomplishes that task.
It would be better if the unit remembered the last setting and would come to life in the FM mode. It does allow you to store up to 5 quiet FM locations to speed up retuning. Sound quality through car stereo is good, albeit a little muffled. FM interference is a bother in a metro area. Retuning requires the push of FM button on the back of the unit and then retuning of your stereo to the new station. Annoying and could be dangerous in traffic. The FM transmitter is very low power, but that gives privacy.
All in all, I like the features of the BlueAnt ST3 better (motion sensor pairing, phone book, etc.).
The sound quality of the T505 is better in both transmit and receive.

Blueant S1 Sun Visor Bluetooth Handsfree Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Let me start with the basics - this car kit is not bad. It isn't great, but I've seen worse. The S1 is about $20 cheaper than the Supertooth 3 (the flagship carkit from Blueant). Sadly, the S1 loses the cool features found on the Supertooth 3 - voice dialing is one of them (the S1 does support a simple "answer" command for picking up calls.
The S1 does all the basics, plus it adds Bluetooth audio. This works, but don't expect it to replace your car stereo any time soon. The A2DP Bluetooth stereo lacks one minor little thing - AVCRP or Bluetooth audio remote. So, even though you can listen to music, you can't control it.
Now on to the big one - when you open the box, you see the S1, its visor clip and an AC charger. That is correct - the brainiacs at Blueant obviously felt that nobody would need a car charger for the car kit in their car.
This means you'll need to spend an additional $10 on a MiniUSB car charger cord. To me, this is an inexcusable flaw, and one that makes it seem like the product was poorly thought through.

Motorola T325 Bluetooth Portable Car Speaker (Black, Retail Packaging) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have owned other Bluetooth car speakers, but none compare to this one. Motorola really went all out in their research to find ways to make this product exceptionally user-friendly! You pair it to your cell phone, clip it to your visor and it does the rest! I, too, was concerned about it only coming with a car charger. I now realize the reason is because you rarely have to charge it. Unlike other speakers I have owned, I don't have to take it in every night to hook up to a charger (and then forget to get it in the morning); I don't have to turn it on and off or "connect" it to my cell phone every morning -- it does everything automatically, and the sound quality is excellent. And I especially like the feature that announces the person who is calling me. I don't have to take my eyes off the road for one second to look at the incoming number on my cell phone! I have only written 3 reviews on products in my entire lifetime of buying electronic gadgets (and I have bought LOTS!), so I really have to be sold on a product to write a review. I feel confident in stating that this product is worthy of a top rating.

Motorola T505 Bluetooth Portable Car Speaker (Bulk Packaging) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have tried over-the-ear blue-tooth devices, my phone's speakerphone, and wired speakerphone devices to make hands-free calls in my car. There was always too much background noise or my voice sounded too muffled or tinny to be heard. I researched several blue-tooth speakerphone devices on-line, this one always seemed to come out on top. I have not been disappointed. I have used this in my vehicle for a over a year without complaints from callers that they could not hear or understand me. The one-touch answering and calling makes it simple to use while driving.
Since it is portable you can transfer to another vehicle, and it can be used as a quality speakerphone anywhere you need one. It works just as well as a speakerphone in my office as it does in my car. The battery lasts a long time, and you can use it while it is charging. It uses the same Motorola mini-usb charger that most Motorola phones use. You can charge in your car, with a wall-charger, or computer USB cable. I have changed to a Samsung smart phone and it works as well with this phone as it did with my Motorola Razr.
The only issue I have with this device is the reliability of the voice-recognition. It usually understands me correctly, but sometimes it will ask if I said call someone else. It is worst when the battery level is low. Plug in the charger and it works normally. This is the same issue I had with my Motorola phone, so probably the same software (Motorola, take a hint to improve on this).
Overall I give this unit high praise.

BlackBerry VM605 Visor Mount Bluetooth Speakerphone Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Yes, I am a Blackberry Fan Boy and thus I trust pretty much everything they make..the exception being the STORM. :-) Research in Motion recently released this device and I figured it was time to get one and give it a shot. I was finally getting fed-up of something stuck in my ear all of the time so I could talk while on the road. I live in the Tri-State area, NY-NJ-CT and drive about 4 hours a day, therefore making Bluetooth a necessity.
And now for the review:
Box Includes: Visor Clip, Car Charger (Micro USB), and documentation in English, Spanish, and French.
**Quick Note: This device also utilizes Micro-USB as do most new smart phones in the market today. It is the new standard for cell phone chargers and thus will eliminate a lot of redundant chargers in our homes, offices, and cars.
Simply charge the device over night so that it is good and ready to go for your usage. Once charged, turn it on and pair it with your blackberry device...the instructions are quite simple. The pairing process complete, you are ready to clip this in your cars visor and begin the process of becoming a road warrior.
The Visor Mount actually gives you a few language options, as follows:
US English
UK English
French
Italian
German
Spanish
Mexican Spanish
Brazilian Portuguese, and
Chinese.
Why do you need all of these options? Simply because the Visor mount actually has a voice feedback system that provides you various bits of information. It will announce an incoming call (with the number, it will give you its status (power on, power off, pairing mode, etc).
The design of this device is slick as could be and the voice quality is quite impressive...even while driving about 65+ miles per hour on a highway with the air conditioning running...(yes its been hot in NY/NJ). I made quite a few test calls and specifically asked the party on the other line about noise and quality...they said, and I quote, "You are in a CAR?". The speaker is quite loud and can be adjusted to your liking with a volume rocker panel on the right hand side of the device.
This device works and it works quite perfectly.
Now for the most interesting feature, an FM Transmitter. Current Blackberry models all have the ability to accept micro-sd cards up to about 16gb. You are able to get free software to sync your iTunes libraries to your Blackberry...as long as the content is DRM free. Once the music is on the unit you can play it back through headphones and or Bluetooth devices. The Visor Clip takes this whole process one step further...yes it will play back the content on itself or allow you to press the FM button on the left hand side and select a frequency to tune in on your car stereo. Voila, your blackberry is now broadcasting through your car stereo. This also works for phone calls... AWESOME! Impressed yet...? There is more, when you live in a congested area it is sometimes hard to find a FM frequency that works well with transmitters (we all know they are not great). Simply press and hold the FM button on the Visor and it will scan and announce a free frequency it finds on FM...tune your radio and you are set to go.
Battery Life: I have been using it for 2 days with moderate call volume and some music for testing purposes. It is still working...it does have somewhat of a battery meter on it. But real life usage will vary for everyone and thus you will have to make your own decision about how long it works for you and when it needs a charge. It comes with a car charger..so its not too much of an issue. :-)
This is the best visor clip I have ever used and I am glad I decided to get one. 5/5 for a great product at a great price. My ear has been FREED at last!

Jabra Cruiser Bluetooth Car Kit Speakerphone Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The product worked as advertised. I was able to set it up in seconds for the blue tooth option. since I don't use the FM radio in my van I did not set up the FM transmitter. I can hear other people just fine and I have not heard anyone say they can't hear me or ask me to repeat myself. Only 1 little glitch after a month of using it. It did disconnect and reconnect once but I think i passed someone else using the same frequency which caused it. The price here was 20% cheaper that Best Buy and it was delivered free. I would recommend this product to all of my friends.

MOTOROLA T505 BLUETOOTH CAR SPEAKERPHONE BLUE TOOTH NEW Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This device is the best thing since sliced bread. I had an ear piece I used to have to put on in the car, never could get used to using it. For people that have limited hearing in one ear, with a normal bluetooth device you can not hear the radio in the car. So, you have to take it off and put it on and that is not helping your driving abilities. This device is so easy to use just pop it int hte car & turn it on, NO instilation and it tells you when you get a call and
who it is from. I LOVE THIS!

Tunelink Bluetooth In-Car Audio Interface for Android Devices - 1001-01002D Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have used TuneLink Android with both the AUX out and the FM Transmitter, and I think both sound excellent. The AUX obviously is more clear and the way to go if you have an input in your car, but the FM is great as well. In response to the other reviews on here that talk about a "lisp" sound or distorted "S" sounds, all you have to do if this is happening is turn the phone's volume down a few clicks. The FM volume is a bit boosted when the phone is turned all the way up, and for loud material, I noticed the same thing until I turned it down. The little boost is great though when listening to audiobooks or spoken word that is quiter though...
All in all, great product!

Jabra FREEWAY Bluetooth Speakerphone (Black, Retail Packaging) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I don't give 5 stars that often, but I love this thing.
The calls are very clear as advertised and they can hear me fine as well. It's fantastic being able to finally answer calls hands free in the car; no having to have an earpiece or anything.
I love that you can connect two Bluetooth devices at once; I don't have a smartphone, but I can connect my basic cellphone with Bluetooth to this device, as well as my iPod Touch to send music to it!
The size makes it great to take it with you anywhere and use it as a speakerphone/speakers at home.
It looks great on the sun visor of the car, as well on a desk.
There is also a built-in FM transmitter. Personally, the transmitter doesn't seem that much of an advancement to send a clear strong signal than other FM transmitters that I've owned (still getting a static or fuzzy sound on a higher volume), but still, it is definitely a nice bonus to have!
The device is also firmware upgradeable if there are any improvements in the future.
It uses a Micro USB to charge.
If you ever feel like using your cellphone in the car, when you think about the safety and traffic ticket costs, this product is a no brainer worthy investment. The versatility of this product being suitable for home use just makes it even better. Fantastic design.

Motorola Roadster Bluetooth In-Car Speakerphone (Retail Packaging) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Before getting this I did quite a bit of searching on the web, and couldn't find anything that explains exactly how well this speakerphone works with iPhones. Several other reviews outline its main features, and a few mention that they use it with their iPhones but don't discuss the limitations of that mode, so what follows is intended just for those who hope to use it with an iPhone. (I've got the iPhone 3G, but I can't see any reason it would work differently with the iPhone 3GS or 4).
It's clearly designed for droid phones, and on those phones you can download the MotoSpeak app and have it read texts out loud - and even allows you to compose texts hands free. Still, the basic and most essential functions appear to work with any Bluetooth enabled phone, and certainly with my iPhone 3G.
It hooks easily to the sun visor of the car, and the charger plugs into the cigarette lighter. It links easily with the iPhone, once you go into the settings and enable Bluetooth. After it's linked, the Roadster recognizes your phone, and turns itself on automatically, apparently triggered by the sound of an opening or closing car door. Once on, it speaks out loud that it recognizes your phone, and even says the name of the phone it's linked to. It also tells you whether it's fully charged or not.
If you receive a call, it tells you there's an incoming call and if your phone recognizes the caller it tells you who's calling. You can then say either "Answer" or "Ignore" and it will either pick up the call or drop it. You hear the call either through a speaker built in to the Roadster or you can set it up so it transmits directly to your car stereo through an unused FM frequency. The onboard microphone picks up your voice - all you have to do is speak at an ordinary level and it works fine. My wife reported that it sounds just like it does when I'm calling her directly through the iPhone.
Pressing the call icon on the Roadster will redial your most recent call. Another feature built in to it is that you're supposed to be able to click on the dial tone button and speak a phone number - but when I press that button the Roadster tells me that the feature is unsupported by my phone. It strikes me a bit odd that the Roadster can control my iPhone enough to dial the most recent call, but not to dial a different number, but that's the way it is.
You can also play music from your phone through the Roadster - it sounds awful if you try to do it through the speaker on the Roadster, but when you've got it on the FM transmitting mode, and assuming you've got it set on a clear station the music sounds pretty decent, about as good as you'd get it from a decent but not perfect signal on a regular FM station. In my case I hook the iPhone directly to my stereo with a USB cable, so I wouldn't ever bother with this.
So what this is really useful for on my iPhone is answering calls hands free - and in my case that's the main thing I wanted it for so it works pretty well for me. If you want to make phone calls a lot while driving, or want to receive and send text with voice commands, you'll need a different kind of phone, with Android 2.2 or higher. Having said that, those features would make this an excellent device for owners of Android phones; the more basic features still make it quite useful for iPhone users like me.

Motorola T505 Bluetooth Portable In-Car Speakerphone Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought a total of 5 (yes five) different Bluetooth speakerphones to test on my car visor and operate with my Sprint HTC Touch phone. Each unit has flaws and two are unusable in my opinion when used with the Sprint Touch. Your results may differ.
Here are the units I tested:
The Jabra SP5050, Parrot Minikit, BlueAnt Supertooth Light, BlueAnt Supertooth II and Motorola T505. I chose these units based on the positive user reviews on the Amazon site.
Now how they perform when paired with my Sprint HTC Touch...
BlueAnt Supertooth Light - Works good with few complaints. Connects automatically every time. Has mini USB for charging which is exactly the same as my phone. OK speaker volume (but the volume may cause an echo on the other end). I like how turning the unit on or off is accomplished by pushing the mic in/out. Magnetic clip is nice.
BlueAnt Supertooth II - Works good but doesn't usually connect automatically with the Touch. I need to push the talk/end button to connect. Best speaker volume (you can turn the volume too high which may cause an echo on the other end). This unit can be used with the visor up or down since the mic can swing totally open. Aesthetics might not appeal to some. I really like how turning the unit on or off is accomplished by swinging the mic in or out. Magnetic clip is nice.
Jabra SP5050 - Maybe the best aesthetics with very slim size. Easy to understand if it's on and connected with the alert tones. Very light unit and did I say how slim it is?
Terrible low volume with my Sprint Touch! The volume is unusable for highway speed driving and is a deal killer compared to the other units. This cannot be corrected using the volume on my phone as it's at max too! I was so hopeful for this unit.
Parrot Minikit - Works great sometimes. Has great speaker volume. Sometimes cannot get it to connect and sometimes locks up. I believe this is an issue with the Minikit and the Touch combination as I also tested a Parrot LS3200 color built in unit with the exact same terrible results. Unusable!
Motorola T505 - Nice aesthetics. Connects automatically every time. Has mini USB power connector exactly the same as my phone. Very good speaker volume and I love the option of using the FM transmitter with my car stereo for even better sound and volume. No complaints from people on the other end and they never heard an echo like the BlueAnt. I haven't tried using the music player but that isn't why I bought it. I prefer the Supertooth II on/off mic switch over the Motorola back of the unit location. This is by far the best unit for use with my Sprint Touch and the one I'll keep using. Works fantastic!
Now I'm giving away the other units to friends.
