Re: Parrot MINIKIT Neo

so why would one go for this over a tried and tested 50-80$ bluetooth hands-free kit?

Re: Parrot MINIKIT Neo

Maybe because it is paired up with an app that can do the extra stuff? What Parrot is claiming is that it is 100% hands-free unlike other bluetooth devices that do require u to tap a button. You could also connect 2 bluetooth phones to one kit.

Btw, it’s selling in Amazon for $60. And the free app is also available:

Re: Parrot MINIKIT Neo

Also because bluetooth doesn't make calls hands-free just used to receive calls. BUT then why not use the internal voice recognition apps?

Re: Parrot MINIKIT Neo

With the internal voice recognition apps, you still have to put your phone on speakerphone or wear headphones. You can activate a call but I'm not sure what happens if your phone rings...can we say Accept? If we can, on my S3, then baby I'm all set but I'd still need to use the speakerphone and hope the external noise can be filtered like the Neo kit claims to do.

Re: Parrot MINIKIT Neo

I meant in conjunction with bluetooth which would automatically accept calls and the internal voice recognition app would make the calls lol. Would that even work? :confused:

:khumar:

jk jk

Re: Parrot MINIKIT Neo

I have NO idea if that would work or if you have to use the specific app developed by Parrot.

Re: Parrot MINIKIT Neo

go on. I can handle it :mad:

Re: Parrot MINIKIT Neo

so you can audio would come thru car speakers? if that's true, then car has bluetooth why not just connect phone bluetooth to the car?

Re: Parrot MINIKIT Neo

The audio comes out of the little device itself. It's a stand alone device. You can clip it to your visor or lay it on the countertop/table when u want to go handsfree.

Re: Parrot MINIKIT Neo

How is the volume on it? on you use it has headset?

Re: Parrot MINIKIT Neo

I haven't used it Usman. Was just reading about it. It's not a headset but a little device you can put in ur car or around if you need to go hands free.
