How does a handsfree work?
Car handsfree is a device that allows a comfortable phone conversation while driving.
Your voice is clearly heard by the interlocutor, and you hear the voice of our interlocutor perfectly thanks to the car speakers, headset or speakers included in the set. (The latter option is recommended if the speakers supplied with the car are not of the best quality).
Conducting a phone conversation while driving a car requires devices that will facilitate all the activities that youusually do on the phone during a conversation.
And we will deal with them to a large extent later in the article.
In the meantime, let’s consider:
Which car handsfree to choose and buy?
Currently, few people decide on a speakerphone requiring connection of devices by means of a cable – this is where the extremely convenient Bluetooth radio connection is leading.
Fans of multifunctional equipment may decide to buy a car radio or FM transmitter with a speakerphone. Bluetooth for the car is becoming increasingly popular so there should be no problem with the availability of devices.
In all car handsfree models, you can count on features that significantly facilitate telephone conversation in the car. So which speakerphone will be the best?
Thanks to them, driving a car becomes safer.
Bluetooth handsfree kit
Bluetooth technology is the most convenient and currently the most popular way of communication between devices – in this case, between the phone and the speakerphone.
It allows connection with almost every phone and smartphone, but before buying the set you need to check in the manual whether it will support our phone.
Car radio with speakerphone
It is a convenient, multi-functional solution that saves space in the cockpit. However, these are not all its advantages.
Look at what additional features it can have:
- Voice dialing,
- Quick dialing of “favorite” numbers,
- Automatic update of the phone book,
- Automatic copying of all numbers of one contact (not all radios will find this function – in the case of more than one contact number, cheaper models assign only one, first number on the list or save the next contact),
- Automatic SMS reply while driving,
- Receiving music from the phone,
- The ability to connect two phones to the set (for example, business and private),
- Memory for pairing phones,
- Vocal setting for sound correction.
Does that sound encouraging?
And how about a Bluetooth FM transmitter with a speakerphone?
An FM transmitter is a device that, when connected to a radio, allows you to listen to MP3 music through car speakers. In addition, some models can also be used as a speakerphone. Automatically switch between music play mode and Bluetooth handsfree mode.
It’s time to present the functions mentioned at the beginning, which are supposed to simplify the life of the driver conducting the phone conversation.
