Mobile / Cell Phone Thoughts & Reviews

A few months ago I got a Jabra Cruiser to review and boy have I been reviewing the heck out of it and I’m loving it.  I have been using it instead of a bluetooth headset since the moment I got it and it’s so much better.  I have always wanted to have a bluetooth speaker system built into my car but my car isn’t new enough.  So now I have the next best thing.

This Jabra Cruiser has been fantastic, it’s made it so I don’t have to wear one of those ugly bluetooth headset any longer (though I still use one in the home/office sometimes) in the car and I haven’t had to charge it even once.  I’ve been using it for over 2 months and haven’t charged it once.  This is HUGE, I mean really huge.  I don’t talk a lot in the car but that’s still a really long time.  By the way, it charges via microUSB charger that came with it.

Most importantly the sound quality is great.  I can clearly hear the person on the other end of the call and surprisingly enough they can hear me and they have all said it’s more then just adequate, it’s pretty good.  I’m always leery about bluetooth speakerphones because they have never been loud enough for me, but this one is.

It’s also pretty good looking and more importantly it’s light.  So clipping it to the sun visor won’t weigh it down.  One of the nice things about it is that it will broadcast you conversation over the in car speaker system via the FM radio.  I live in Los Angeles with has a very full radio spectrum so there isn’t much space for me to transmit to, so I haven’t used this much.

Lastly the Cruiser will actually act as a conduit to play the music on your phone via BT to the cruiser so you can listen to it over it’s speaker or you can play it then over the FM airwaves and listen to it over your car stereo.  There are  play/pause, forward and back buttons as well to control the music.

I suggest the Jabra Cruiser HFS001 to anybody who’s looking for an in car bluetooth speaker phone.  It’s the best I’ve ever used.  It runs from about $50-$100 on Amazon which I think is a really good deal.
