Jabra JOURNEY<\/a>. This speakerphone is small and sleek so it does not draw a lot attention if you leave it on your visor. It also has great battery life and only has to be charged once a month or so. Up to eight phones can be paired to this speakerphone (two simultaneously) and the sound quality is very clear for phone calls. I was amazed, actually, at how good the sound was and how well the other party could hear me.<\/p>\nListening to music through the speakerphone is possible but I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s as if someone turned the bass way down and treble all the way up, which is horribly ear-piercing. This is definitely designed for voice and not for music.<\/p>\n
As the speakerphone picks up all the audio of your phone, you will also hear the clicks when typing. So, if you are a passenger that is also paired with the JOURNEY, you may not want to play any games or text unless you want to irritate the driver. As a side note, you actually press the shiny area to answer\/end\/pair. At first we didn’t realize that part could be pressed and kept hitting the button for voice control.<\/p>\n

The JOURNEY turns off when it’s not in use for ten minutes and the motion-sensor will turn it on when you get back into the car. When your phone is in range it will automatically connect to it and is immediately ready for use. We were shocked several times to get in the car and suddenly hear, “Power on!” and “Connected!”<\/p>\n
The only con I could think of was that the voice control doesn’t work well but that’s more of an issue with my iPhone than it is the speakerphone. Aside from that this is a great device. We’ve had several hands-free speakerphones but were never happy with any of them. Some were bulky and made awful indentations on our visors. Others just had terrible sound quality on both ends. I really like the Jabra JOURNEY and plan on using it for a long time.
