Virtual Reality Sound Labs Bluetooth Speaker Car Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Got this unit as a Christmas gift. Here are some pros & cons in the event you're thinking of purchasing it:
PROS:
IT WORKS!
It sounds GREAT!
It linked up with my Bluetooth phone quickly (I use a Samsung model)!
It's ESPECIALLY handy with voice recognition Bluetooth devices. (I just tell it to call a name in my cellphone directory, and it does the rest!)
The price is reasonable for what this does.
It's one of the few devices of this type that has a big display area for the phone number, HOWEVER...(see CONS below)...
It's easy to operate!
It seems to hold a full charge for a long time period (at least a week so far for me).
CONS:
It only comes with a 30 day warranty!
It needs to be charged for 2-4 hours when the battery drains. The problem is, the ONLY way they suggest you charge it is through your vehicle's cigarette lighter. (No adapter to charge it in our home.) And they suggest NOT charging it when you aren't in your vehicle. I don't know about you, but I seldom drive around town for 2-4 hours. (FYI, I just left it plugged in while I was at home and all worked well.)
The "log" area is supposed to keep track of calls in and out by way of logging them with a 0-5 first digit in front of them so you know which calls were most recent. The unit I have puts no such digit in front of the number. And there are some mysterious numbers in the log I have no idea who they belong to which DO have a #1 in front of all of them. (There are no 0, 2, 3, 4, or 5 numbered calls to be found! All the "mystery" numbers have a "1" in front of them.)
While this unit DOES have a large display area for the number, it's hard to see in bright light.
Hope these PROS/CONS help you to decide if you want to purchase it. Would I buy it again? Yes, I think I would. Mainly because I believe the pros outweigh the cons...especially the fact that it really DOES work for hands-free calling. After all, isn't that why you're REALLY thinking about buying something like this?
Good luck in your decision.

Jabra SP700 Bluetooth Car Kit Speakerphone Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Sound quality is great. my car is kind of noisy on the road, and people on the other end are surprised to hear I'm using a bluetooth speakerphone.
The biggest challenge for me is learning not to shout!
I have gotten a few complaints of echo (i.e. caller hears bits of their own voice) when using the built-in speaker. Using the FM transmitter seems to eliminate this problem.
I wish Jabra would've used a standard mini-usb connector for charging and also provided an 1/8" hardwired output to plug into my car stereo aux port.
The FM transmitter is a great feature, but FM is frustratingly noisy in big metro areas.
I did discover a cool trick for getting better FM reception that other US users might be able to try (provided their radio supports different country settings):
My FM radio has a setting for USA and Europe, and the European setting includes both odd and even frequencies.
With the FM radio set to the European setting, tune in to an even frequency (like 89.2 MHz, for example) the SP700 tunes in 0.1MHz increments, so you can tune to match and nobody else is supposed to be using that frequency.
Works much better, and I'll have fun, fun, fun until the FCC takes my SP700 away ;^)

Car and Driver CD-700 Universal Steering Wheel Bluetooth Car Kit with Caller ID and Echo and Noise Suppression (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this type of bluetooth for the car of my husband. I got to try it as well. It worked real well when your car is driving in side streets. However, once you reach the freeway, the normal white noise from the car and the other elements makes the sound in maximum volume not enough. I have to stick my face near the device just to hear what the other party is saying. And no, the windows are not open. Windows are all closed during the drive.

Motorola T215 Bluetooth In-Car Speakerphone Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the second unit which we bought for car #2 after being pleased with the first one in our other car.
Setup and installation was very easy. Sound quality has been excellent except for the "voice dialing feature". The built-in female voice responding with "SAY A COMMAND" is not very clear and cuts off in the middle of the last syllable so I sometimes hope it is dialing the right person. When I prompt with "CALL HOME", its response is "DID YOU SAY CALL HOm. . ." and trails off. [5/21/10-Editing my comment - just now discovered the female voice I described above is the lady inside my BlackBerry - So this problem may be with my phone, not the T215. Duhhh.]
The other minor issue is the visor clip - if your visor is thick, it tends to pop the wire out of the plastic groove in the surface of the unit holding the clip in. I will probably try to bend the wire without breaking it to relieve some of the pressure.
Until something better comes along, I expect to buy one of these for each of our family cars as it makes usage in the car much safer and is not as annoying or distracting as having a pretentious bluetooth thingy stuck in my ear.

Jabra SP500 - Bluetooth Speaker for Home, Car or Office Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I think that this speaker phone is great. I use it daily when i drive. It does the basic features very well...
Pro:
-People can hear me w/o any problem at any speed
-It adjust volume by itself - very great feature... I do not need to adjust it while i am driving. It creates true hands free expirience.
-Receive call with one touch
Con:
- Bulky. It looks big comparing to cellular phone.
-Only window mounting
-No fm transmitter to car audio( no need for it as it sounds very loud and distinctive)
- Bettery life is not as promised(not more than 2 hours of constant talk)... but you can use it while you charge it in car(comes with ac and car charger)
Overall very satisfied!!! I would recomend it to all. I gave it 4 stars only because of its size, I think they could make it a bit smaller... Other wise it is good product.... Much better than earpieces..

Bluetrek Compact Classic Ultra Slim Loud and Clear Carkit Speaker Driver Pack (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I thought this would be the answer to my all my phone-on-board worries! However, there's no one home so this just keeps on ringing in some very key areas.
What's good:
1) the price
2) Easy set-up
3) Extremely good/clear speaker
4) Manipulating phone controls can be done via the kit or the cellphone
5) I have found that the battery power has been quite reliable.
What's bad:
1) people on the other side of your conversation have great difficulty in hearing you clearly and without drop-outs/breaks in the signal. Even when you speak no more than two inches from the microphone. This makes for an extremely frustrating conversation when you are trying to focus on the road. i sometimes have to switch back to the handheld in order to finish my conversation. For this reason alone, i could never recommend this buy.

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!

Motorola CommandOne Bluetooth Headset (Motorola Premium Packaging) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the headset I always wanted; it just didn't exist until now. The sound is clear in both directions; it's small, lightweight and fits beautifully. And being able to just say "answer" or "ignore"? Priceless!! I've only had one text read to me via MotoSpeak, but this app (you have to have an Android 2.2 or Blackberry phone - for now) has much promise. Even without MotoSpeak, I recommend this headset highly!!

Scosche voCALL CBHVA Bluetooth Speakerphone with Voice Announce Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this for my mother in law who works in local government and is always on her phone. Our state recently enacted a handsfree law as well. She is very happy with this speaker phone. She said it is very easy to use, and sound quality is good. She did say she had to play with the speaker volume to make it not have feedback, but I'm sure that's true for all of the speakerphone units. She told my wife how a co-worker was complaining about his bluetooth speaker phone and that she has no problems.

Motorola T325 T-325 Bluetooth Wireless Portable Visor Mount Car Kit Speaker Speakerphone with Auto Paring and Bing 411 Enabled Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have tried a couple of car speaker phones and taken them back, but this one I am keeping. It isn't great, but it is good enough for the cost. It connects automatically and tells you the battery level. It doesn't stay connected once you are inside the house. The battery stays charged a long time. I can hear it and others can hear me if there isn't too much background noise. The control buttons are easy to use and don't take too long to respond. The voice regognition isn't that great, best to arrange your favorites list and use that. Also use names on your phone that the device can understand easily. You have to speak like it does.

EGO TALK Bluetooth Handsfree Car Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased a Ego Talk Bluetooth Handsfree Car Kit from Amazon and then found an adapter on another online site for my 2007 F-150 Lariat. WOW! That one word says it all. It took me all of about 30 minutes to install in the parking lot of a shopping mall where I went in and bought a really cheap pair of pliers simply because I couldn't wait to get home to install it. Sounds awesome, connects painlessly. Really can't tell the sound quality difference from one of the newer built in Ford Sync Systems and the unit is very small and unobtrusive. As I said above I purchased a special wire adapter which meant that it was absolutely plug & play with no wiring to solder, cut etc. Just unplugged the old radio and plugged this in. I'm warning you though it will scare the crud out of you the first time you're driving down the road with the radio off and this thing starts talking to you telling you whatever reminders your PDA is reminding you of, or what Important Emails just came in!

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.

NoiseHush N600 Bluetooth Visor Kit - HandsFree SpeakerPhone With DSP Clarity Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Since I can't find a review on this thing anywhere I wanted to save anybody else the pain of dealing with this company. I purchased the Noisehush N600 from Smarthome.com while buying another item. I remembered I needed something handsfree for my cell and found this on the site. It arrived DOA. Unable to charge it and of course it won't turn on. I should have know something was up when smarthome.com said any warranty issues with this need to be dealt with directly with the company. Go to noisehush.com and they talk about their great warranty. "Click here" for information about sending back an item under warranty. That brings you to their warranty document, then it says "click here" for information about sending this thing back. When you click it brings you back to the main page. You can go in circles all day and there is no info on sending anything back. Call the number on their web site and the message says the phone company can't route this call. I tried from several places/different phone carriers, all the same thing. They finally respond to an email after several days, telling me to ship it back to them, (on my dime) and if they deem it's bad they will replace it but I will also have to pay shipping back to me. Wait a minute! I just paid for this thing in full, it's dead and I have to pay shipping both ways to replace it, if they feel like replacing it? Do yourself a favor. If you need something hands free for your cell, go to Amazon, where I usually buy things, and pick out something by a reputable company like Motorola, look at all the customer reviews, and if it's mostly favorable, pick something from Motorola. Don't ever waste your time with products from a company called noisehush. I hope I saved somebody some pain today.
*********Update******
Since writing this I was able to get Smarthome.com to take this thing back even though their website says they won't. Why, because they tried to contact Noisehush also and could not get through by phone either. They gave me an RMA and took it back and sent me a replacement so let me review the replacement. Well, it charges and turns on, but per the instructions does not work as described. Sometimes it will turn on and sometimes it just goes into it's pairing mode. When I can get it into normal mode it will sometimes ring when I get a call and sometimes not. As I'm going down the road it will wink and blink, and sometimes start beeping in different ways my whole ride. I've gone over and over the instructions and it just does not turn on and function as described. As far as sound quality, or should I just say sound, I've called my voicemail at home and it sounds like I'm down in a tunnel. I have spent the last week trying to get this thing to work properly. At this point I need to cut my losses and look for something else. If you buy one of these you will be very frustrated.

Scosche Universal Bluetooth Handsfree and Streaming Audio Car Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Sadly, my BT1200 arrived dead upon arrival. The unit was getting power, but it failed to turn on. Several attempts to contact tech support at Scosche proved useless. I was promised a return authorization number, if I contacted them by email. When I did, I did not get a response nor the RAN. I followed up, and was still ignored. My advice, do not buy this, or any other Scosche product.

Parrot Bluetooth Color Display Car Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Parrot CK3200 is an excellent bluetooth device for your car or truck. However, this item is manufactured in Europe where all vehicles come equipped with ISO connectors on all sound systems. If you are intending to install this item in a vehicle sold in the U.S., you will need ISO adapters. My 2004 Chevrolet Pickup with the Bose Sound system required two adapters at 20 dollars each. The install was 50 dollars on top of that. I still like the system, but want to make sure all buyers are aware of this fact. If you have questions, contact a local stereo installer and they will tell you if they have the adapters needed.

With the Parrot 3200 LS Color Bluetooth Hands-free Car Kit, you'll be able to place and receive calls in comfort and safety, without ever touching your mobile phone. Plus you get the benefits of a large, 160 x 128 color screen that supports 262,000 colors.
At a time when legislation is tightening up to restrict the use of mobile phones in vehicles due to safety concerns, the Parrot 3200 LS's benefits are not just for the sake of convenience and comfort -- they are fast becoming a real necessity. The Parrot 3200 LS wirelessly connects with all Bluetooth phones on the market and offers effortless synchronization with information on your phone. The display of the 3200 LS provides the same visual information and functions as your mobile phone, such as caller ID, carrier signal strength, or last calls received, on a unit that can be clipped in the ideal position for the driver to see. And thanks to the big color screen, you can even view pictures of incoming callers. A large control knob easily adjusts the volume while also offering fast navigation of the unit's menus and options.
Turn on the car engine and the phone connects wirelessly to the Parrot 3200 LS. The screen unit has easy-to-navigate menu options just like your phone, and your mobile phone book is wirelessly downloaded to the car kit. Calls can be dialed either through the screen, or by using voice-recognition speed dialing (up to 150 names can be programmed into the voice recognition system). According to your phone's model and firmware, most features are accessible from the hands free console, including one-touch redial, dual call, and auto-answer.
The 3200 LS can be installed in almost any vehicle, and is designed to automatically mute the radio during use. Incorporating high-quality sound, the unit's speakerphone includes both echo cancellation and noise reduction technology. The device also features polyphonic ringtones, multi-user use for up to five phones, private conversation mode, and much more.
Since this car-kit is installed by hard-wiring to the existing car stereo, professional installation is highly recommended. The included universal Parrot interface is designed to work with virtually any car brand.
