Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Sound quality is great. my car is kind of noisy on the road, and people on the other end are surprised to hear I'm using a bluetooth speakerphone.
The biggest challenge for me is learning not to shout!
I have gotten a few complaints of echo (i.e. caller hears bits of their own voice) when using the built-in speaker. Using the FM transmitter seems to eliminate this problem.
I wish Jabra would've used a standard mini-usb connector for charging and also provided an 1/8" hardwired output to plug into my car stereo aux port.
The FM transmitter is a great feature, but FM is frustratingly noisy in big metro areas.
I did discover a cool trick for getting better FM reception that other US users might be able to try (provided their radio supports different country settings):
My FM radio has a setting for USA and Europe, and the European setting includes both odd and even frequencies.
With the FM radio set to the European setting, tune in to an even frequency (like 89.2 MHz, for example) the SP700 tunes in 0.1MHz increments, so you can tune to match and nobody else is supposed to be using that frequency.
Works much better, and I'll have fun, fun, fun until the FCC takes my SP700 away ;^)
