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 EQ7 Bluetooth Portable Speaker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The speaker sounds great for its size. It is the size of a discman.I use rechargeable batteries, and take it camping. It saves the space of a big boombox and a book of cds.My kitchen must be 20x16 ft. and the sound is enough to make you have to yell over it to hear someone, w/o hearing any major distortion.Pretty good bass for a little speaker as well.Easily paired to my cell phone with 350 plus songs, makes it a good purchase for me.

BTC8 A2DP Bluetooth fm transmitter for Ipad, Iphone 4G, 3GS, 3G, all android phones - Droid, HTC,Samsung with wireless music streaming and handsfree calling Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I looked at many fm/bluetooth transmitrers and at first I was going to try the more expensive one that looks just like this one, but after comparing them I realized that they were the same. Since I don't really need the extra cable the more expensive one has, I went with this one. I never write reviews, this is my first one, but I have to write one for this item. The pairing was very easy and it is a very simple set up, no cables, nothing. The sound quality was very good for both phone calls and music. By the way, I have an iPhone 4. I can use the device to turn the volume up/down, advance/rewind songs and answer/end calls. I was skeptical of using an fm transmitter, but this has truly surpassed my expectations.

Parrot Evolution Bluetooth Car Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had Best Buy install the Parrot CK3000 Evolution with the Multicomm in my daughter's car. She thinks part of driving is talking on the phone. One hand was always holding her phone to her ear while driving. She needed a good hands-free unit to make the road safer for others.
At low speeds, it worked great. It also worked great for me at high speed. The callers could hardly tell I was on a hands-free unit even at high speeds in a small (noisy) car.
But when my daughter used it at high speeds, people would tell her she was very hard to understand. There seemed to be a scratching static of her higher voice when the road noise increased. I theorize that the Parrot noise cancelation was canceling out too much of her voice when road noise increased.
I added a 10 ohm resistor (from Radio Shack) in the microphone wire. This did the trick. The extra resistance lowered the sensitivity in the microphone resulting in less pick-up of road noise but still great pick-up of her voice. Lowering the sensitivity resulted in less need for the noise cancelation to work so hard. It still cancels most road noise, but does not lower the quality of her voice.You almost can't tell she is on a speaker phone. With the adjustment, this becomes an amazing product.

It takes less than an hour to mount the Parrot CK3000 EVOLUTION : electronic box, microphone, keypad. There are no apparent wires. Once installed, just turn on the engine and you are immediately connected to your phone. Even by leaving the mobile phone in his bag, with his Parrot CK3000 EVOLUTION, the driver dictates a name and is immediately connected to his correspondent. The car's speakers transmit the conversation with perfect quality of sound, regardless of the driving conditions (traffic, highway).

Jabra Cruiser Bluetooth Car Kit, Speakerphone Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Saw the reviews here - many are just plain incorrect, very likely they did not bother to read the manual, which as the quickstart guide says 'the full version is online at jabra'.
A few examples:
Voice dialing: If your phone has this capability - you can voice dial no problem: Record the voiceprint for a number (via your phones feature), preferably while using the speakerphone so its better matched, then to use it 'press' - hold button for approx 1sec - (as opposed to tap, which is means 'quick click") the main answer button then say name - works fine, even with an old moto razr phone.
Power: Again, RTM - to save power (a great feature), the speakerphone sleeps after 10 minutes: To wake up, rather than cycle the less handy power switch, simply tap the main answer button
Bright lights: There is a way to go into night mode: "Press FM and volume up button simultaneously when the speakerphone is on. The light will then turn off. You can turn the lights back on with another press."
C'mon folks, take the two minutes to read the actual manual.
As for the rest - I've only had it a little while - the voice quality seems fine, the FM works great when the convertible top is down (Not often right now, even in CA) and the thing works quite well so far.
Bonus: The charger comes in two pieces so that you can use the USB to micro USB cable with your computer to charge it if you want. Conversely, I can now charge my old razr with by plugging in my USB to mini USB into its lighter adapter. Handy.
No affiliation with jabra - just picky about uninformed reviews

Jupiter Jack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently ordered the Jupiter Jack and was excited to use it because I am on the road all the time. It definitely does what it says it does just not very well. I live in DC and on just about every dial we have a radio station which is not good for the jupiter jack trying to steal the frequency. Both station it has you use are close to very powerful stations here so even though you are not on the same frequency they still come through. I am not here to say I am dissapointed in the product I just wish it was a little stronger. I am sure it would probably work in a more rural area where there are not as many stations but for DC it is not the best choice.

Jupiter Jack is an easy to use device that turns your car radio into a hands fee speaker phone. It is easy to use. Simply plug Jupiter Jack into your cell phone's headset jack and tune your car radio to 99.3 FM and start talking hands free. It's that simple. Jupiter Jack features a built in microphone that transmits your voice clearly while you hear your caller's voice clearly through your car's speakers. Using a cell phone without a hands free device may not be sage and is illegal in many states. Now you will enjoy clear robust sound that only your car speaker can provide allowing you to conveniently talk and drive at the same time. Jupiter Jack works with any cell phone with an headphone jack. Some phones may require an adapter, the most common of which are included in the package.

Alpine eX-10 - Bluetooth hands-free car kit / iPod interface adapter w/built-in FM modulator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this unit a few months ago and just found the time to install it in my truck. I had it up and running my iPhone in no time at all. It was real plug and play. As far as the one reviewer using the FM modulator feature, if you have an AUX in jack on your stereo, you can connect directly. That is what I did, and like I said, it sounds great!
I placed mine right on the dash, just a little off center. The wires and control box are buried in my dash. There is a supplied remote control wire with a sensor on it for use with the remote. I spliced into my cigarette lighter and put a 12 volt outlet on it that I picked up at a truck stop, it too is buried in the dash. Very clean looking install.
As far as the bluetooth? I don't use it on the Alpine. I have a Jawbone bluetooth ear piece that works much better than an external mike. Need that noise cancellation feature in my cab.
And the navigation seems to work fine. I just pick an artist and go from there. And it is nice not having to screw around with the iPhone while driving. The little Alpine monitor looks small, but is very readable and easy to navigate.
