A number of portable, Bluetooth speakerphones are now on the market. Offering hands-free convenience, ease of use, and portability, these products are a great accessory for the mobile phone user. Especially a mobile phone user in the car. With all the new laws concerning use of mobile phones while driving, many companies are bringing new products to the market to meet the demands of these new laws. While using an earphone does help, a wired earphone can still be distracting and a Bluetooth earphone can be uncomfortable on a long trip. Some law enforcement officers still discourage the use of any earphone or headphone while driving. By using Bluetooth, the Speakerphone can be wirelessly connected to the mobile phone and allow the driver to keep both hands on the wheel and eyes focused on the road.
Bottom Line: With its circuits for background noise suppression, echo cancellation. Full duplex, digital volume control, and support for Headset and Hands-free profiles, the Visor offers excellent performance and audio quality. It can even support pairing with up to 3 different Bluetooth devices. With the capabilities of wireless Bluetooth, ease of use, rechargeable power, and excellent speaker / microphone performance, the Visor is a good choice for hands-free mobile phone use in the car, home, or office.

Alice Adds: Hanging a speaker phone from our visor is a great idea and I like the fact that these units can double as a home/travel speakerphone as well.
