The crew here in Central Vermont are enjoying temperatures in the 70’s and some spectacular foliage that never ceases to amaze no matter how long you have lived here. This is also a time where all of us get to regroup after a big back to school season and get our ducks in a row prior to the holidays.
October 1st is upon us which means Vermont’s hands-free cell phone law goes into effect. Click here for the details. Here at Small Dog, a bunch of us have prepped for this by picking up the Jabra Tour Bluetooth Speakerphone.
This item is easy to set up and easily slipped onto the driver’s side visor. I literally turned on the Jabra, started Bluetooth on my phone, and in seconds was paired to the speaker.
With incoming calls, the Tour tells you the name of the person calling if it’s programed into your address book or will recite the phone number that is incoming. Don’t want to take the call? Just say ‘ignore call’. The Tour has some other great features I hadn’t seen in other devices I looked at. Battery life is in the 10 hour range, partially because the device will automatically power on/off when I leave and enter the car. It will also notify me that the device is paired when I get in the car, and provide a battery status on my iPhone.
As a speaker, the sound is decent for it’s size. I listen to a lot of podcasts, and now instead of plugging into the auxiliary jack in my car, I’ll play them through the Tour, not something I would do with my music, but a nice option to have! Many of us drive vehicles that don’t have hands free integrated into them and this product easily integrates into any car no matter the age!
