Jabra Drive Bluetooth in-Car Speakerphone (U.S. Retail Packaging)

My girlfriend loves to call me and talk to me about her day as soon as she gets out of work. Prior to my purchasing of this product for her, I would find myself on the other end of a speakerphone call filled with road noise and general static. Eventually it was time for her upgrade and she went and got a new phone from the company that has the name of a fruit ( ;) ). She was instantly addicted to the phone, and I knew that she would be spending more time making calls. I hated the idea of her fumbling for the phone to throw on speaker when she called / received a call, so I knew I needed to consider her safety.I bought this for her as a gift. I have never used one of these bluetooth speakerphones, but have heard great things about them, and figured that now is better than ever to give it a shot. As always, the product arrived promptly from Amazon. The packaging was small, easy to open, and displayed the product quite nicely. When you open the package, you find the speakerphone, a USB cable, a car charging adapter, and instructions. The device was not only easy to set up (the phone detected it immediately), but was already charged so she could use it immediately!The device is great! It has easy to reach/press buttons for volume control, and the speaker itself is a button. When you turn on the device, it literally tells you that it has connected to the phone, this way there is no question, and no having to remember such things as 'two beeps means connected' 'one beep means disconnected' etc. I had her go out for a drive while I called her so we could test it out. To answer, she simply had to push on the speaker, which is its own button. I was impressed! Not only could I hear her clearly, I actually had to tell her to speak in a normal voice since it literally was as if she was on the phone and not on speaker. Road noise is non existent, and the connection quality is amazing.I am very happy with my purchase, the price is amazing, and when you consider that this is the safest and legal way to use your phone in a vehicle, it really cannot be beat.

I love my Jabra Drive. I bought it because I find that I often don't have my ear piece handy when calls come in while I'm in the car and my ear piece drains after about 1 hour of talk time. The directions to pair the Jabra Drive with my phone were easy to understand and it paired quickly and easily. Additionally it keeps a charge forever. I often forget to turn it off and just leave it on for days at a time but it has not ever died on me. I am not a person who constantly talks on it hours per day so I don't know how that would work out as far as the charge is concerned, but I have used it on the road and speaking to some of my chattier friends, so there have been times that I used it for an hour straight. I have had it for more than a month and I have only recharged it once and that was just because I felt like I should.When on a call I can hear clearly and no one has ever complained of not being able to hear me. It is very easy to answer a call, end a call, redial, or turn the volume up or down without taking your hand off the wheel but for a quick second and without looking. The first day I got it, I found that I focused on it a lot but after that I use it without thinking. It operates just like the Jabra earpiece so if you already have one of those, you don't need to re-learn anything.It stays in place on the visor and does not move around.

I have used Jabra Cruise and now I have bought this because I misplaced the cruise in a rental car. On comparison Jabra Drive is a better equipment to handle.Connecting the phones was simpler, you just need to switch on the unit and it senses the blue tooth enabled phone. I had to search the jabra from my motorola phone and hand to enter a password (0000) to connect it for the first time and then on it gets connected automatically when the unit is switched on. I have also connected my second phone, an iPhone which got paired without any password. After the pairing is done, every time you get into the car and switch on the unit, it announces the connection of the phones individually.The quality of the sound is good and the flexibility of usage is better than the cruise. I attend calls on both the phones while driving and the sound quality is very good. on high ways, the sound quality is little lower because of the external noise but I was audible enough to the caller and I had no issues listening as well. The charge seems to last longer and there is no need to disconnect the Jabra drive as it gets disconnected automatically after you get off the car. But when you get into the car later, you need to switch off and on the unit for connecting the phones again, they do not get connect automatically. You can charge the Jabra with the USB enabled charger in the car, I also charge it at home using the USB adapter I have for charging my iphone.Over all the product is worth the dollars $39 in my case and serves the purpose.
