Parrot MINIKIT (MINI-KIT)

The parrot sits on my visor in easy reach. I use it in my Sprinter cargo van delivering freight all over the U.S. I can hear it in the heaviest traffic or highest winds. My brother bought one for use in his Florida condo. Reception on his phone was best by the window but lousy farther into the room. He leaves the phone by the window and carries the Parrot with him so he can answer the phone anywhere in the condo.

We have tried other products and this is fantastic!! My husband has trouble hearing. With the ear set, he could not hear traffic around him such as emergency vehicles. With the Parrot Minikit, he can hear what he needs to while driving as well as the conversation. This is a great product. We would highly recommend it to anyone.

I drive, a lot. I used the jawbone for a long time but my ear hurt and frankly, their customer support was awful; they wanted you to upgrade all the time. I liked the idea of hands free, ear free talking so I bought 2 of these; one for me, one as a gift. The pros: very each to sync up with my iPhone, very clear sound and pretty straightforward. The cons: It only comes with a charger for your car and it takes about 12 hours to fully charge. You can dig around in your extra computer usb cords and find one that will let you charge thru your computer, but they don't tell you that. It doesn't come with a manual, you have to go on to their website and download. Also, their customer service is non-existant. If you buy one, make sure to download the manual and remember, if all else fails you can force a reboot. Trust me, it works for everything.

The Parrot is great when it decides to work. Unfortunately, this is not all the time--very annoying. Also, at times the person on the other end of the call hears his/her voice echoing back.

I have tried at least a half dozen hands free kits simular to the Parrot MINIKIT and not one of them can compare to this Bluetooth device. I use it in my vehicle clipped to the visor and it is loud and clear and several times people cannot believe that I am using a hands free device. Several of my friends have bought the Parrot MINIKIT since hearing and seeing mine. I would recomend it to anyone who intends to use a hands free bluetooth device in their auto and/or any other simular application.
