    Product Description

    One of the first in-car speakerphones to have 3 speakers coupled with Virtual Surround Sound. Sound so clear, you’ll think you’re talking to a passenger in the car. Also great for playing your favorite music. Prefer your car’s sound system? Just use the FM transmitter to send music and calls directly to your car radio. Dual-mic technology filters out everything but your voice. Background noises and honking cars disappear, so the other side hears you loud and clear.

    This is just the set-up I needed!
    Well, I may "love it" after awhile, but I'm a skeptical older lady, and don't fall "in love" easily. So, I'd really give it a four and a half.But, here's the report after receiving this yesterday.First, don't believe the description. The actual speakerphone (Freeway) is 4" x 4.5", not the 4.56x6.97, which is size of the box it came in.Set up was a breeze. I put the speakerphone on the charger for awhile in the house. I turned on Bluetooth on my Samsung SM-G930A and linked it with the device. I was asked if I wanted the Freeway to have access to my phone directory and I answered yes.Then, I moved the whole kit and caboodle out to my 2007 Tahoe and clipped the Freeway to the visor, again followed the instructions for turning it on and linking, and it worked perfectly. I had to "dial" numbers on the physical phone, because I haven't set up the voice commands yet, but after one day and three phone calls (two incoming, one outgoing) I found the system to work very well. One call took place when the air-conditioner was ramping up (just started car, it was 91+ outside). The external sound made some "static" to the person on a cell phone on the other end. The other calls, however, were crisp and clear, according to the recipients.On my end, I can't say enough about the sound. It was clear, and loud enough for my hard-of-hearing husband in the pax seat to hear perfectly. I have kids with blue-toothed vehicles (through the audio) and I will say that for me, this was much easier for me to hear the other person.Attached are a couple of pics of the Freeway attached to the visor. Note that it is on the left side, and easily clears the mirror on the back.All in all, a good purchase. Now, to get one for my other old cars!

    This is a review for Jabra FREEWAY Bluetooth Speakerphone

    I'm not one to take my time to write reviews, but after purchasing three of these speakerphones I thought maybe it would be helpful to tell you why this is the best speakerphone I have ever used.

    We live in California and, by law, have to have our Cell Phones connected by Bluetooth if we use them in the car. I have probably used 4-5 different brands and configurations in the past 5 years - all with mixed results, until I came across the Jabra FREEWAY Bluetooth Speakerphone. I really dislike using in-ear Bluetooth devices (for many reasons, but mainly because they interfere with hearing and make you look like a . . . . ). Speakerphones I have used in the past (including the less expensive Jabra products) seemed to never clearly pick-up my voice and transmit it to the caller. When I purchased my first Jabra FREEWAY Bluetooth Speakerphone (after reading a glowing CNET Review) I started using it as soon as I charged it for a couple of hours. It is the easiest, most user friendly product I have bought in a long time.

    Getting up and running requires:

    1. Charge unit (USB)
    2. Turn on Cell Phone and put in pairing mode
    3. Turn on Jabra FREEWAY Bluetooth Speakerphone - it will find the phone and announce "Connected"
    4. That's it, your done.

    Now to use it you only have to do one thing and remember 2 words:

    1. Attach the Speakerphone to your visor and turn it on.
    2. Remember 2 words when it announces by name an incoming call. a) Answer (connects you to an incoming call) or b) Cancel (phone goes straight to you voice answer message).

    It really is that easy. There is a lot more that the Speakerphone will do, and there is a one year subscription to a second party company that keeps all your contacts + more so you can call one number and transfer to anyone in your contacts, send text, etc. But you really don't need to know or use any of that.

    Oh, I forgot, the main reason I like the Jabra FREEWAY Bluetooth Speakerphone is that my clients have no clue that I am even on a Bluetooth device when I talk to them in the car. No extraneous noise, no wind noise, just a clear voice. That, plus the ease of use is why I keep buying more of these and giving them to my wife, children, etc.

    Did I mention that once you turn the Jabra Freeway on you don't have to touch/recharge it for a month or more (my experience, moderate use). It turns itself on when I get in the car, and turns itself off when I exit (motion detector).

    Pros: All of the above. Plus, iTune music sounds pretty good through the 3 speakers and podcasts are great (you can also transmit the music/podcast to you FM radio) - the Speakerphone "knows" to to stop the music/podcast if a call comes in.

    Cons: It takes a couple of minutes for the speakerphone to turn-off automatically when you you leave the car. For a short time, if you are fairly close to the car (in you home or office) the unit still picks-up calls. This has happened to me only once, and my iPhone asks if I want to not use the Bluetooth on the screen, so it really is a minor annoyance.

    In Maryland, we recently had our laws change so that mobile phone use and seat belt violations are prima facie offenses. Being a traveler to Washington, D.C. for business, I've managed to NOT be pulled over there, but now that my entire state does the same thing, I needed to come up with a solution for long stints in my car while still handling client phone calls and text messages. (I'm not one who likes Bluetooth ear pieces, etc.)
    On a few of my business trips, I rented Ford vehicles with "Microsoft Sync" included in the onboard packages. I absolutely LOVED the way my phone interacted with that system and responded to my voice. It made trips safer, IMHO, and also kept me from being dinged with fines and points on my license. Plus, using the AT&T Navigator application on my phone (provided by TomTom) through the system eliminated the need for a separate GPS device stuck to the windshield.
    So... my goal was to find a device that let me have as much of this functionality as I could get. The nice thing about Windows Phone is that you "pretty much" have all of the Sync voice functionality already built-in at SETTINGS | SPEECH. Once enabled, your phone will sound and behave just like the familiar Microsoft Sync system in those newer Fords.
    NOT being an Apple device fan, it's pretty apparent to me that there is a lack in the marketplace for anything specifically designed for Windows Phone. So, I went to the official Windows Phone website and looked over the devices they recommended and offered. This led me to the Jabra Freeway.
    First, the Jabra Freeway is by no means a large and clunky device. Rather, it has a sleek design and the button areas for the functions are intelligently placed and blue LED lit. I wondered how much tension the visor clip had because I was concerned that it might drop off of my visor and make me nuts while driving... No worries there! They, also intelligently, made it a VERY stiff clip so there's virtually no chance of that happening.
    The speakers are very loud and clear and the built-in microphone is sensitive enough to discriminate your voice over ambient sounds. When using the Windows Phone speech features, you are prompted when to answer, etc... so, you are stepped through what to do and have little room for mistake. (Plus, the voice recognition algorithm is scary-accurate.)
    At first, I thought maybe I didn't need to mess with the VoiceAssist system used by Jabra, but since you get one year of it free included with the purchase, I gave it a whirl. It works by calling their system via your phone... then answers in a very "Microsoft Sync" fashion. There's a bit of an annoyance with setting that feature up through their website and then exporting your contacts to the system... but, if you can dump your data to a CSV file, you'll be fine. The reason I have stuck with VoiceAssist thus far is that unlike the Microsoft Sync systems in those Ford vehicles, I haven't figured out how to "trigger" my phone to listen for a command. The Sync equipped Fords have a steering wheel or dash-mounted button to do this. The Jabra doesn't (at least not as I've discovered yet) do that. This is where VoiceAssist comes into play and works very well. So, if I specifically want to call someone in my contact list, I tap the VoiceAssist button and it dials out, answers, and then I simply tell it to call whoever or send a message, etc. For incoming calls and texts, Microsoft's Speech Services does everything, using the Jabra as a Bluetooth speakerphone, responding extremely quickly by answering a call, reading back a text, letting me reply, ignore or whatever. There is virtually no discernible lag or anything like that and signal quality is perfect.
    All-in-all, Jabra does Bluetooth the right way and they've done some serious thinking to make this device seemingly flawless. For that alone, Windows Phone users should get this thing if they need this kind of solution because of changing laws or for just some added safety and convenience. You won't find that you bought a device targeting Apple or Android and you just "deal with not having everything" function-wise. Your Windows Phone does everything with this Jabra Freeway.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent way to connect a phone to an older car (including FM option). Quality sound & reliable performance.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 30, 2017
    I bought this to replace a Parrot model that I had been using in my car that no longer held its charge (after about a year or so of use) and was too quiet on motorways to hear.

    The Jabra was easy to set up, pair with my iPhone 7 Plus and works perfectly. It clips neatly to the sun visor. I'd recommend slipping it onto the right hand driver's side as I noticed that when I put it on the left hand side of the visor, towards the centre of the car thinking it would be better there, the listener could not hear me so well. I think it might be because the microphones appear to be on the left hand side of the unit (there are some holes there) so they would be away from me if placed on the left hand side in the car's centre.

    The sound quality is excellent. I often listen to audible books on it and everything is crystal clear. It can even transmit the sound to the car's speakers via the FM radio. It turns my old pre-blue tooth car into something capable of working seamlessly with a modern smart phone.

    The battery lasts a reasonable time and can be charged quickly in the car in the usual way. The range of the bluetooth connection is a long way so be careful when you park up and get out of the car mid-call and transfer to the phone. As the unit will often grab back the call if you are within 30-40 feet of the car! It does mean that the moment you unlock the car, whether the door or the boot, the unit wakes up quickly and pairs with the phone.

    Of all the various after-market ways of connecting my iPhone to my car (including a quality Garmin navigation unit) this is by far the best and reasonably priced product I have come across.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Best bluetooth speakerphone for car that I've come across
    Reviewed in Canada on February 25, 2017
    No one has a perfect bluetooth speakerphone product. But this is the best that I've found (except for motorola roadstar pro at 3x the price).
    Purchased 2nd freeway (after 1st was stolen). Beware complaints about product. Don't confuse complaints about BLUETOOTH with complaints about this product. ALL bluetooth devices have challenges, in my experience.

    PROS: Great sound; good battery life; good size for packing to/from car; easy to operate; jabra assistant app reads txts out loud; use together with "Ok Google" (on Nexus 6P phone) to send txt and make calls with voice control (hands free). Works flawlessly. I LUVLUVLUV this feature.

    CONS: bluetooth sometimes slow to connect (or claims to connect, but doesn't) - but this is not unique to this product. I find this with every BLUETOOTH device (and I've used multiple phones, too. This has nothing to do with my current phone). Best advice re bluetooth is to know it can be slow - just wait - and leave 1 or 2 minutes between connecting multiple bluetooth speakers to phone. Bluetooth just sucks... err... has challenges.
