By not using a hands free device, every once in a while a smiling policeman pulls me over and hands me a talking-while-driving fine every 2 months. But now that I’ve seen Jabra has added to their speakerphone collection with the new Jabra CRUISER, I might change my mind and actually buy one.
Meant for in-car use, the new Bluetooth 2.1 speakerphones feature a set of dual microphones and technology that cancels all background noises and echos. On top of that, the Jabra CRUISER is capable of either reading out contact names or phone numbers (if not stored) when they call in. The same voice used for that also gives you details about battery life, the pairing process and the connection status.
Jabra’s CRUISER Speakerphone connects via Bluetooth 2.1 (with up to two devices paired at once), plays MP3 files or, thanks to its built-in transmitter, can stream content to a nearby FM radio, like the one you have in your vehicle.
With a long lasting battery that would keep it up and running for 10 hours of talk time or 300 hours while in stand-by, the new CRUISER devices are expected to sell just in time for the Holiday season and should cost somewhere close to 100 GBP or $160.
