My old Minikit + I had to return due to a defective battery. As a substitute I ordered the Minikit Neo, the first offered a decent (though not publicized by the manufacturer 6 months in standby mode) battery life of about 1.5 months of occasional use. At the 'wake-up' by vibration, the automatic pairing, voice control and intelligibility could not be faulted. After 2 months there were initial problems and the pairing was only by pressing the green button to be initiated. The battery level took a day (without telephone conversations) by 10% from. If battery level is below 50%, the device stopped responding and could be brought to life only by about for 10 minutes connecting the charging cable again. The battery level is immediately reported back with 50%. Parrot Germany has no direct repair or replacement service and refers to the dealer. Amazon now sends a replacement device that will hopefully no longer have these problems.
After sufficient testing time I will extend my review and adjust the rating if necessary.
Addendum 07.08.2014:
The review was reduced for the following reasons 1 star: - The specified standby times are achieved nowhere near. - The battery level was at the replacement unit after 2 weeks 50% (daily connection with the phone for about 30 minutes, 4-5 short calls within 2 weeks). - From a battery level of 50% took this day off by 10%. - The hands-free telephone conversations interrupted sporadically with the message that she would turn into a (undocumented) Discrete mode.
Although I am enthusiastic about the functioning voice control of Parrot carkits, battery problems and crashes the phone calls are an absolute no-go! This was the 3rd and final Parrot (exchange) equipment and I will look for another manufacturer!
