Hands-free

Fed up of uncomfortable hands free kits? Take a look at this...


IN-ear hands-free phone kits can often be more convenient than they are comfortable, especially on long journeys. But this new Bluetrek set-up gets around that by fitting to your car’s sun visor instead.Pairing the Surface Sound Compact to your phone via Bluetooth is simple, as is installation, as the smart flat panel just clips on to the visor. But we did find it an awkward fit on some thicker sunscreens.

You activate the hands-free by angling the arm towards you, although this can put it too close to the driver’s head. Once in use, answering and ending calls is done via a single button, and the flat-panel speaker means callers can be heard clearly. But the same can’t be said for those on the other end, as the transmitted sound was muffled and occasionally broke up.Talk time is 15 hours, but a longer in-car recharging lead would have been useful – in some cars it couldn’t reach the visor. The kit can also be used in the home or office.Source
