Parrot CK3100 Review

  The good: The Parrot CK3100 is a cost-effective Bluetooth hands-free calling system with some surprisingly advanced calling features including a decent voice-command interface and a useful phonebook-syncing feature. The bad: Programming in voice tags for contacts can be time consuming, and there is no option for dialing individual numbers by voice. The bottom line: The Parrot CK3100 combines a simple, easy to use control interface with a good voice-recognition system to provide drivers with easy hands-free calling on the road. Review: With legislation on the horizon banning the use of cell phones while driving, we decided to take a...

Summary By serving up premium sound quality, Klipsch’s remarkably simple iGroove SXT delivers where most others have failed. Lightweight and unassuming, it may be just what you’ve been looking for in a portable iPod or iPhone speaker system.

Have you checked out your local department store’s electronics section lately? If so, then no doubt you’ve noticed the plethora of iPod- and iPhone- related products lining the...

JBL GTO638 The perfect speaker for factory replacement
