Best visor-mounted hands free kits Plantronics K100 review

The K100, like other Bluetooth devices, really needs a independent power button. The K100 isn't designed for speed. To power the K100 you have to press and hold the multi-function button for about three seconds. Then to power off the K100, you have to press and hold the button for about five seconds (two tones will sound as you hold the button down). To the left of the volume knob is a button labeled FM. Tapping this button activates the K100's wireless FM transmitter, which deactivates the unit's loudspeaker and sends all outgoing audio over an FM radio frequency. Holding the FM button initiates a scan for the clearest channel, which, once found, is announced by the K100. You can then tune your car's radio to the same frequency and, ideally, hear the speakerphone's output through the stereo's speakers. Now the K100 can serve as a bridge between a Bluetooth music phone and a low-tech FM car stereo, which is quite useful when it works. The auctioneers undertake that care has been taken to see that catalogue descriptions are accurate and reliable however these are matters of opinion only and shall not be taken to be statements of fact.However, we've had nothing but trouble getting FM transmitters to provide a clear, consistent signal amid the crowded airwaves of the San Francisco Bay Area, and the Plantronics K100 was no exception. We found ourselves having to rescan for clear FM stations as we passed through different parts of the city and after an evening of frustration, we eventually gave up and settled on listening to a few podcasts using the K100's great-sounding monaural speaker. Even at its best in the concrete bunker that is CNET's garage, FM-transmitted audio quality was merely passable with ever-present static--a bit like listening to a radio station from the next town over--which is fine if you listen to many podcasts or simple turn-by-turn directions, but may be annoying for those wanting to enjoy the delicacies of music. As always, your mileage may vary depending on the density of FM stations in your area and the sensitivity of your ears. Pairing" is the process that connects the speakerphone to your phone. You can pair more phones but can have only one active connection at a time. The K100 is a hand-free Bluetooth kit for in-car use. It has a large metal clip on the rear to hook over a sun visor and comes with a USB cigarette lighter adaptor and micro USB cable for power. iii) confirm that you are authorised to provide these credit card details to the auctioneer, and have sufficient funds to complete the transaction. We've tested 12 popular systems – including visor-mount and earpiece models – to find the best you can buy. Putting hands-free systems to the test

Despite its premium name, the Sony is the cheapest in our test. This is because it's very basic, and really only provides a bear minimum in functionality. Sound quality isn't tops, although voices are at least accurate and recognisable. A low price is pretty much all the Sony can offer. Clip the speakerphone to your visor where the two microphones, located on the top of the unit, can be closest to your face so you can speak in a normal tone of voice and be heard. SPECIFICATIONS Talk Time It's far safer to use a hands-free system, but while most new cars have a Bluetooth system to link your phone to your car, many older cars don't. Fortunately, there are specialist devices available that offer much of the convenience of the latest built-in systems.

Will be added to the bid price and buyers’ premium on all lots unless otherwise stated by the auctioneer b) The auctioneer shall determine the dispute and his decision shall be final and binding on all parties The STEALTH is the smallest of the three Jabra earpieces we've tested, but still has many of the features of its larger stablemates. It's easy to use and audio quality is above average, but it's pricier than the other small earpieces, and became increasingly uncomfortable with prolonged wear. Although good in parts, the STEALTH finishes in last place.

If you can rely on your phone's ringer and don't mind waiting a few seconds to power on/off the K100 and are looking for a basic speakerphone, the Plantronics it will do nicely. However, I would be inclined to recommend the Jabra Cruiser II before I would the K100.
