Customer Video Review Length:: 3:23 Mins
The Jabra Cruiser 2 is one of many hands-free Bluetooth products brought out by Jabra. The in-car speakerphone allows the user to safely answer and make hands-free calls whilst driving. To set up the speakerphone, the unit needs to first be charged up for just 2 hours (an impressively quick charging time), either via the included USB cable into a PC (or something similar), or plugged into the cigarette lighter of a running car.
Once charged, the device is turned on by a simple flip of a switch and then a voice automatically guides the user through how to link it up with a mobile phone via their Bluetooth capabilities. This literally takes around a minute. Once done, the speakerphone is good to go.
The flexible metal grip on the underside of the speakerphone allows the device to be clipped on to a cars sun-visor (drivers side is recommended). Once attached the unit can be used unconnected for up to 14 hours of talk time, or for 20 days on standby (impressive huh?). However, should you need to charge up the speakerphone in the car then the unit can be plugged into the cigarette lighter and it will begin charging again (although you may need to reposition it away from the sun-visor during charging to avoid getting entangled in the dangling power cord).
The unit has very well positioned (and easy to identify whilst on the move) buttons located on the outward facing-side of the speakerphone. In the centre is the `answer/end call’ button, to the left and right are the volume controls, and in the middle-and-back is the ever so handy `mute’ button. Apart from the radio button and the `on/off’ switch which are both located on the side, that’s it!
The volume and clarity of calls on the device is superb. Even in heavy rain, driving on noisy tarmac, or in dense traffic, the clarity of the calls is incredible. Incoming calls ring twice and then the device informs you of the number calling. The speakerphone can also have up to 1,000 contacts transferred and stored on to it, which will then inform the user who is calling before they answer (if your mobile phone has this capability).
The speakerphone can work on voice activation as well as announcing your contacts names as long as your mobile phone has these inbuilt capabilities. The best way to check whether your phone will be able to make full use of the speakerphone is to check the required specs on the Jabra website.
The unit can also play music files that are stored on your phone and has an FM radio transmitter as well (although most cars have radios in them anyway).
All in all, this is a very easy to use and well designed piece of equipment to make peoples lives just that little bit easier (and possibly safer). The unit is strong, sturdy and discreet, with simple easy to locate operating buttons. The call clarity is nothing short of superb, and when combined with a mobile phone that allows for voice functionality, the speakerphone delivers a completely hands-free experience.

|Easy to set up, easy to use and a clear sound – just check online for Bluetooth phone compatibility,
This Jabra CRUISER2 works with Bluetooth mobile phones, and once paired the Jabra can remember up to 7 mobile phones. Although it’s got a perfectly good loudspeaker you can pair the unit to your car’s FM radio as well, either for playing your phones MP3s or the voice call. Things like ‘reject call’, ‘call on hold’, ‘redail’ or ‘voice dialing’ are dependent on your phones abilities, but things like ‘answer call’, ‘mute’ and ‘end call’, night driving mode and adjust volume are standard. The Jabra even talks you through pairing your phone and passengers can access the device as well – the unit has a range of 10m [33 feet] and the rechargable battery lasts for 14 hours [recharge by a USB connection from a PC via the supplied USB cable or the 12v cigar lighter cord]. The unit attaches to the sun visor near your head. The Jabra also boasts ‘Dual Microphone technology’, ‘Voice Announcements’, and a Status display. It’s size is L 65 mm x W 130 mm x H 19 mm and it Weighs 85 grams. Full charging time is 2 hours.
To operate the Jabra you push the big plate on the top – left/right for volume and the middle is the answer/end button. To pair you just set the mobile phone to find the Jabra. There’s a mute button in the speaker grill and an FM transmit and on/off switch on the side of the unit. All other commands are tapped into the answer/end button [i.e. tap, double tap, press (1s) and press & hold (5s)]. There’s also four little icon status LEDs: [battery status, call status, connection status, FM status], that can be switched off in night mode. Although no substitute for a wired connection, the music FM transmitter to the radio is as good as any I’ve used [main problem is when you move to different locations a weak FM radio station might start to interfere].
So whats it like to use. I got this Jasbra Cruiser 2 for my sister for Christmas, and she loves it. She says it was really easy to set up [her hubby connected her Blackberry and Apple iPhone via bluetooth quickly], it sounds very clear and it’s easy to use. It also sounds clear to those on the landline back home. Plus it looks good. So it was hit and 5*. Go to Jasbra’s website to ensure your bluetooth phone model is compatible. Many months on my brother-in-law commentated how good this Jabra Cruiser2 is [others he has tried weren't great]: “The Cruiser 2 connects quickly when you entering the car, it’s easy to use, looks good and sounds clear when listening to”.

|Great, easy to use product,
Does exctly what it says – connects easily to your mobile (in my case an HTC Desire) Simple to operate buttons and easy to understand too!
Clear sound with good level of volume. Neat and well made, it clips nicely onto your sun visor. Not obtrusive at all and hard to spot when the visor is ‘up’
Bluetooth is pretty stable but when it does drop it comes back automatically and quickly.
Nice feature allows you to output the sound thru your car radio speakers even if the radio isn’t Bluetooth equiped. You can also play any music on your mobile thru the CRUISER2′s speaker.
Only slight down is it comes with a car charger only. In other words, no mains charger. I quite see this device benefits from a car charger but would have liked a mains one too. Still, is a small USB type so can be charged via my HTC Desire’s mains charger. And charging is quick too.
Good price. Good product. Good buy!
