Okay-ish
2 personnes sur 2 ont jugé cet avis utile. Having done lots of research and having read many reviews -- comparing Jabra Freeway and Motorola Roadster 2 -- I decided on the Jabra (instead of the Motorola) because the Jabra had 3 speakers and 2 microphones. I also did look at the Motorola Roadster Pro too (which has 4 microphones), but overall was not as impressed as with the Freeway and Roadster 2.
Con: Noise cancellation. I purchased the Jabra Freeway because of various reviews that touted how well the 2 microphones performed noise cancellation - that the people on the other end of the phone connection expressed how clearly they could hear the voice of the person talking into the Jabra device. I have not had any such "clear" result. With me just sitting in the parked vehicle (engine not running) I have tried moving the Jabra into all possible positions on the sun visor, and even into locations not on the sun visor, but I could never find any sweet-spot location where the person on the other end of the phone connection could clearly hear me. And being thoughtful to talk directly at the Jabra device (in some tests holding the Jabra device in my hands just a few inches from my face) did not make the audio any more clear to the person on the other end of the phone.
Con: Voice commands. it is like the Jabra device can not hear me very well (even when I am sitting in the parked vehicle with the engine off). It takes multiple attempts to get it to recognize the word "redial". Worse, the Jabra device has mistaken many other of its recognized keywords as thought I had said "redial" (I have had to explain quite a few times that I did not intend to call the person). For this reason, I only use the Jabra voice commands if I intend to perform "redial" (it either recognizes that I said "redail", or it mistakes whatever I did say as "redail", or it just does not recognize my voice command at all).
Con: It picks up audio from other broadcast radio waves. I can sit in my garage and listen to conversations of neighbors 4 houses away. The Jabra device did not say that it had "connected" to another bluetooth device, so I doubt that the neighbors just have an idle bluetooth headset that is just transmitting -- what I am hearing sounds more like it is being picked up by a wireless intercom system.
Pro: Reading text messages. I am pleased with how the Jabra device reads back incoming texts; actually, I was rather impressed, but I may have simply had unrealistically low expectations.
Result: I consider it "Okay-ish" because for my purposes it will be okay -- for use when I am driving in a State that requires hands-free device when talking on the telephone, so that I can receive work related calls when I am driving around while on vacation.
An oddity that no one seems to mention (and will be a problem on all similarly capable devices) is how a device that allows for 2 bluetooth connections will be constantly scanning to connect to a 2nd bluetooth device -- I drive around town, and the Jabra's blue light flashes every time it detects yet another bluetooth signal in the area.
I am still seriously thinking of purchasing a Motorola Roadster 2 -- then decide which one works better. It is odd, I started out my search really liking the Motorola Roadster 2, and only purchased the Jabra Freeway because of how many reviews stated how awesome the 2 microphone system was a noise cancellation and how clearly the person on the other end of the telephone call would be able to hear my voice. Maybe I should have gone with the Motorola, but maybe the Motorola would be no better (could even be worse) than the Jabra is.
Really wish that I could have easily (cheaply) tested the Motorola and the Jabra side-by-side myself (no one online seems to have done such a comparison) -- then I could have purchased the one that best suited my usage needs.
