Reliable, good value hands free in-car kit

emylou

I am after a good (as in clear, easy to hear) hands free in-car kit, I can't wear over the ear sets as my glasses mean they don't fit properly so I don't hear very well.

A friend bought a "Parrot" kit from Tesco for about £40 but I can't find it & he says he doesn't think they sell that brand anymore.

Any advice please?

I`m not sure if the expense is worth it for you but I think the Parrot CK3000 kit is excellent, it is connected to your radio so sound comes from the car`s speakers and it connects automatically to your phone via bluetooth has soon as you switch the engine on.

The basic one is about £70 but may be extra for a converter lead, depending on your exact car stereo. Models further up the range have lcd displays or play music from you phone etc...

It does need some time to fit tidily with all the wires out of sight, you could get it done at Halfords or a car electronics place.

In my opinion brilliant value. Call quality is very good and it has been in two cars now and never broken, got lost or just stopped working like the bluetooth earpieces I struggled with before.

Thanks for your reply basill, I was after something a bit cheaoer as it will probably be a present from family for Christmas or my birthday. Also, the one I was recommended fits to the sun visor apparently?

Not a Parrot but Sony Ericcson do several models that mount on the visor, their HCB-108 seems to be roughly middle of their range and gets good reviews on Amazon.
Also available at Tesco online for approx. £30.
