Pros: Small. Charges quickly. Decent call quality.

"way too quiet" on August 31, 2008 by calpilotmike

Pros: nice design, lightweight

Cons: Useless since I can't hear calls...in a new Pilot, which is fairly quiet car...even at unit full volume and phone full volume.

Summary: Did the Jabra engineers bother to try this In a MOVING car? It's completely useless. I'm very disappointed with this product.

"Not enough volume" on July 29, 2008 by snaptie

Pros: Great design and quality. nice price

Cons: volume control doesn't go high enough

Summary: nice looking, slim design. works fine if all is quiet around you. had to close windows and turn down the AC in order to hear the caller.

"Weak speaker volume, almost invisible on/off lights, TOO few buttons" on July 10, 2008 by anthony94114

Pros: subtle looking

Cons: Driving with one ear an inch from the visor to hear, isn't too safe

Summary: In California, we just had the hands-free law in acted. I'm not into it, but maybe once we all adjust to have one ear blocked or messy wires all over our car we'll all be safer.

I skipped an in-ear device because I'd rather be hearing sirens and screeches.. so I bought this Jabra. It's pretty simple to use the basic functions, but the hyper-simplicity of the design, (something I'm usually an advocate of), is just too austere to work well.

The speaker volume doesn't display -so one is constantly clicking to 'up' the volume -but it's just kind of quiet. The on-off display is super hard to see, and since it automatically turns off after a period.. it's just vague.

I'm hoping to switch to something similar or better.
