Parrot Minikit Neo2 HD Bluetooth hands-free with voice-control plug-n-play black (Accessories)

Customer Review

The Parrot Minikit Neo2 is a very good alternative to a permanently installed car kit. It is very easy to use. From the speech recognition and quality there is nothing to complain about. In addition to very compact dimensions and easy installation, the Minikit has the advantage that it can be easy to take from one to another car. Since you can connect any Bluetooth device to the Minikit, it is also well suited to play music from an MP3 player.

To test in detail:

When you unpack the Minikit you wonder first time on the very compact dimensions. Just about 8 cm long and 5 cm wide, it is fastened with a clip on the sun visor, where it holds safely.
Before first use you should focus on his mobile phone (I have a Samsung S4 mini) download the corresponding app, which is available for free in the Google Play store.
In the app you can set the basic functions or activate automatic answer and the broadcast calls by using voice commands.
For the first time you have to connect the mobile phone via Bluetooth to the Minikit, which worked fine. This coupling remains active until you delete it. Overall, you can connect up to 10 Bluetooth devices with the Minikit, which always 2 thereof may be operated in parallel.
After coupling the Minikt synchronized with the mobile phone and assumes the stored data to contacts. Thus, the preparation is complete.

To use the Minikit for outgoing calls, you have it first, according to "Minikit" say. Then one asks the unit who you want to call. They call one of the stored contacts and the device can be confirmed whether it has chosen the right contact. Then the connection is made.
Does not unfortunately goes, is easy to call phone numbers. You can only select stored contacts, which is already a constraint relative to permanently installed handsfree systems. What I miss is a function to abort call attempts using a voice command.
For incoming calls, you hear a beep and, if it is a stored contact, the device calls the caller's name. They say "Answer" (or "Reject") and can begin speaking.
The voice quality is very good, both in the car as well as in call partners (like my wife confirmed). The voice recognition works properly.

The Minikit remains constantly on standby and activates itself when a paired mobile phone is registered in the vicinity. In addition, it responds well to vibrations of a moving car, then switches itself also a.
Accessories include a Micro-USB cable and a charger for the cigarette lighter. The device announces itself to the status of the battery, so that you will be warned in time before the battery is empty.

Since you can pair the Minikit with any Bluetooth device, I have my Sony Walkman connected and can Minikit so AUH use to play music. This shows then as well as the limitation of the speaker. Normal speech is transferable to any good quality, but music sounds then something tinny and shallow. Nevertheless, a nice feature for example for audio books etc. What also goes, voice instructions of the navigation app to be transmitted to the mobile phone.

Overall I am very satisfied with the Minikit. I try really, not to use my mobile phone in the car as possible. For the occasional phone calls that I receive or make must denoch, the Minikit from the price-performance ratio is ideal. Since we have several cars, it's a big advantage that you can take it because of the simple fastening clamp means without problems from car to car.
For professional Vieltelefonierer the Minikit is rather unsuitable (because of the lack dialing), but for home users, the device is a real alternative to fixed installed hands free set.
