Introduction: Jabra Cruiser Speakerphone

The maker of headsets and click-on car kits – Jabra – has announced the Cruiser – a new Bluetooth 2.1 in-car speakerphone system. The Cruiser is the first speakerphone to feature the “Dual Microphone” technique. The maker claims that it eliminates background noise and cancels out any echo.

Another feature are the “Voice Announcements” where the speakerphone will access the address book to speak the name of the caller, or the read the number aloud if it’s not a contact. The voice feature guides users through the pairing process and announce battery and connectivity status.

The Jabra Cruiser can also play MP3s stored on a mobile through the speakerphone, and through the car stereo thanks to the built-in FM transmitter with the music auto-fading as a call comes in. Even two Bluetooth devices can be paired simultaneously. Auto pairing offers instant connectivity.

The battery will last up to 14 hours of talk time and up to 300 hours of standby. Price of the new Cruiser is £99.00.
