Parrot Minikit Hands-Free Speakerphone Review

Fairly bulky compared to offerings from Motorola and other handsfree speakerphone manufacturers, the Parrot Minikit has been designed to attach to the sun visor in your car and sit out of the way above your head. Communicating with your phone via Bluetooth, the speakerphone is likely to work with virtually every model phone on the market. The downside to the visor design is that it will always be on show; the upside is you don’t have to wear one of those silly looking Bluetooth headsets that make you look like an extra in Trek’>Star Trek.

The design is simple and black. There is a main knob for controlling volume and the like and two overly large buttons for accepting and hanging up your calls. Parrot it seems, and this is a good thing, don’t want you fumbling for the right button mid-drive and there is no chance you’ll miss what you are looking to press.

In use and the sound quality is very good. Callers could be heard clearly in all our tests, while we had no reports back of bad sound being transmitted to the other end, and certainly no “You sound like you are in a crisp packet” comments as we’ve had with previous handsfree speakerphones we’ve tested here at Pocket-lint.

You also get both a car power adapter as well as a standard power socket adapter in the box to charge the device.
