Customer Review: Excellent, simple, easy to operate
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this after not doing my research and spending $150 on the Toothpik (don't bother with it, it is horrible). I thought these things were going to be completely useless, with horrible sound quality and a bunch of echoes.
Was I ever wrong. It is literally like speaking on the phone when it is clipped to the visor. It gets a little wacky if you put it so the microphone is pointed AWAY from you, but that's not how it is meant to be used. You can even speak with it in the passenger seat.
You can turn the damn blue light off, which is something most other models lack.
The volume is more than adequate. You won't be able to roll the windows down, crank the stereo, and have a conversation. But you don't have to yell, either.
There's really only one button for the majority of the work, and it makes sense.
I don't think you'll be disappointed if you need one of these. Both my wife and I were pleasantly surprised and I just bought another for her.
Customer Review: Not everything it's cracked up to be
Summary: 2 Stars
Don't know if anyone else has this problem, but sometimes when I first turn it on, it takes two or three phone calls out for me to hear that the phone is ringing and if anyone answers it (my cellphone says "connected" but I hear nothing coming out of the speaker). Also, you can't use your voice recognition dialing, unless you push the button on the phone that starts the process, shout the name of the person you are dialing at the speakerphone, and hope it recognizes it. It could be a bit louder when you finally do get someone on the line also. It is very difficult to hit the right spot on the unit to answer or turn off your phone while you are driving and it is very hard to see somtimes if it is on or off. And, sometimes if my phone is in my purse and not on the car seat, it can't find it and disconnects. And, it does not come with an AC charger. I called the company about that and was told that they weren't going to bother with an AC charger. Oh well. Maybe customers shouldn't bother with Jabra.Customer Review: After you figure it out.. it works great!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've used bluetooth head sets, earpieces - and had a short-lived affair with an expensive in-car handsfree installation that was a complete bust. The ear things work great, but the battery life sucks, and it was just not comfortable (for me). This little skinny bugger fits right on your visor, and after you figure out what all the various beeps mean, works very well. I have had no comments from anyone about how I sound - they all assume it's just my 'regular' cellphone. One cool thing: it turns itself off if you take your phone out of the car and move away from logical reception. I've used the voice-dial thing for the first time with this, too. Works like a charm to press the unit for a couple seconds, wait for the beep and reponse - say 'name dial' - wait for the response - then say the name. All in all, I'm quite pleased. Very slim profile (how do they do that?), the entire unit is the 'button' and it's got good voice quality. And for the price - can't be beat. Get one for yourself.Customer Review: Can't Beat It For The Price
Summary: 5 Stars
I was looking for something to use in the car. Most speaker systems are either bulky or require complicated installation. This item works exactly as described. It only took a few minutes to pair with my phone and it clips neatly to the visor. Sound quality is quite good with the windows up. There is some wind noise with either the sunroof open or windows down. That is expected from any speaker system, though. This does exactly what I was looking for. The only complaint I have is the included charger is a car adapter. This is fine, except some cars (including mine) disable the lighter port when the car is not running. This means I can only charge the unit while driving. This is minor inconvenience. I have searched and not found a regular plug charger to work indoors. I'm still giving this unit five stars because the type of adapter is clearly disclosed in the description. It would just be better if there were also a plug adapter. For the money, you can't beat the sleek look and quality.Customer Review: Great Microphone, speaker volume is too low
Summary: 3 Stars
Great microphone, people on the phone say they can hear me great. However, I have difficulty hearing people if I'm on the highway and I cannot hear the speaker ring if I have music on when someone calls me.
The light indicators on this thing are not clear at all during the day (not bright enough) but this is not a big deal.
It connects to my Treo 750 just fine with no glitches, and I can voice dial thru this device.
Overall, it's a very good product that needs a better higher speaker volume, even if this sacrifices some talk time on the battery life.
Summary:
Pros: Great microphone clarity, great connection ease, very nice looking, and so thin it can fit anywhere in your car.
Cons: Biggest issue: low speaker volume. Minor issues: light indicators are not bright enough during the day and wish that the visor clip can be removed so I can put this flat on the dashboard if I wanted to without having to cut the clip.
