Price: $9.45
— a device for wireless communication in a car and more. This is the second such device that I purchased on Ali. The first one was purchased four years ago and was recently given to my father, who finally, after much persuasion, replaced the old push-button Samsung with an Android smartphone.
I got so used to the speakerphone I was reviewing that I decided to skip the experiments and buy exactly the same one. The first speakerphone was quite expensive - $18.70, but now the price has almost halved.

Color If the first Bluetooth Handsfree Car Kit I bought was packed in a branded box, this time everything came in a simple package and, fortunately, nothing was scratched or broken. Just like the first time, you can safely throw away the charger and cable or put it aside for a very rainy day, there’s simply no cable, and the charger is too weak for a smartphone. The metal clip on the visor is painted and after just a couple of months of use the paint begins to peel off along with the magnet mount.

Bluetooth Handsfree Car Kit connection:
Everything is simple here. With the device turned on, press the on/off button and wait for the voice signal ( female voice will notify you that the device is ready for pairing). On your smartphone, open “Settings/Bluetooth” and launch “Search for devices”:
To pair a second smartphone, you need to do the same operations one more time. The instructions give the code “0000”; I didn’t need it for the smartphone. To reset the settings, you need to make sure that the speakerphone is in standby mode, then hold down the volume buttons “+” and “-“ for five seconds. The red and blue indicator will flash alternately and the device will reset. After this, you can reconnect your smartphone to the speakerphone.
Operation of Bluetooth Handsfree Car Kit:
The device turns on (that is, “turns on,” I’ll write about the standby mode below) quite quickly and immediately pairs with the smartphone. At the same time, a voice message is played in the selected language: “Phone one is connected.” For an outgoing call “Outgoing call”, for an incoming call “Incoming call”. The speakerphone also warns about low battery charge. These are the main voice messages. When you use it every day you hear them. You can read about the rest in the instructions. The same can be said about the light indication. It is quite weak and attracts most attention when charging the battery - red when charging, blue when the battery is charged. Full table The light indication is also in the instructions. The brightness of the display is quite low; unless you look closely, it is almost invisible.
LED indication From a 1A charge, the battery charges quickly, in about an hour. I don’t turn off the device at all; usually it lasts for a month or a month and a half on one charge, depending on the intensity of use.
As stated by the manufacturer, communication works at a distance of up to 10 meters. At greater distances the connection is broken. If there is no pairing with the phone for more than ten minutes, the device goes into sleep mode. It is very easy to wake up the device from sleep mode - press the green “answer” button twice (with a short interval) and the smartphone will connect to the Bluetooth Handsfree Car Kit.
I have never used the “call answering” feature - holding down the answer button on the speakerphone attached to the visor for three seconds while driving is, to put it mildly, inconvenient. To put it mildly!
End a call by pressing the same button once during a call. This worked on my previous smartphone (Zopo ZP980), but on Xiaomi Redme Note 2 the call is put on hold with the same actions. When I connected Xiaomi, out of ignorance I accidentally put the call on hold for 18 minutes...
I was unable to redial the last number using the Bluetooth Handsfree Car Kit from any phone or smartphone. It was also not possible to use the button with a red circle to switch the sound from the device to the smartphone and back. But this is immediately specified in the instructions - it does not work on all smartphones.
Regarding the sound, I will only say that I can be heard normally and I can hear the interlocutor normally. The sound quality, naturally, is not hi-fi, but it is quite suitable for a conversation while driving.

Using a mobile phone while driving is dangerous for yourself and others and, moreover, punishable. Having ordered a five-inch smartphone from Ali, I simultaneously ordered a wireless device for speakerphone - Wireless Bluetooth Handsfree Speakerphone Car Kit.
For the impatient: a good solution for the money, but the microphone and speaker could be better.
I took it almost at random, I didn’t even bother to look for reviews and testimonials. The parcel took a long 27 days:
parcel path
Having received the parcel at the post office, I thought that again a couple of drunken postmen were playing football with it, but I was wrong, the Chinese seller still shoved in something that I couldn’t fit in: the box with handsfree was noticeably higher than the packaging box:
The equipment is not amazing in abundance, but, on the other hand, everything you need is there:
1. Wireless Bluetooth Handsfree Speakerphone Car Kit.
2. Charging from the cigarette lighter (weak - 3.7V DC, 500mAH).
3. USB cable (63 cm).
4. Clip for installation on the sun visor.
5. Detailed instructions in English and Chinese.
The speakerphone comes in three colors, I traditionally chose black:
The plastic is quite high quality, everything is done neatly. I really liked the system of fastening to the sun visor of the car: we put on a clip and the device itself is attached to it using a magnet. The magnet holds tightly, and effort is required to remove the speakerphone.
Specifications from the seller's website:
Item Type: Bluetooth Car Kit
is_customized: Yes
Item Size: 149*49*14 CM
Special Features: Connect two phones at the same time
Material Type: plastic
Item Weight: 0.65 kg
Color Name: Black
Rechargeable battery: 3.7V DC, 500mAH
Talk time: up to 20 hours
Standby time: up to 1000hours
Color: Black ,Red, Blue
Bluetooth Specification: V2.0, Class 2, 10 meters
Operating Frequency Band: 2.4GHz ~ 2.48GHz
Normal Charge Time: up to 3 hours (approx)
I’ll add on my own: the speakerphone voices actions or events in three languages: English, Spanish and Chinese.
Purpose of the buttons:
Calls are received and terminated with a green button; you can hang up the call using the same button by holding it for about three seconds. The “Audio Conversion” button switches the speakerphone to normal.
Bluetooth 2.0 supports communication at a distance of no more than 10 meters. The device automatically turns off if there is no pairing with the phone for more than 10 minutes. The manufacturer promises up to 20 hours of talk time and up to 1000 hours of standby time on a single battery charge.
The device supports connecting two phones. In order to connect the first one, we perform the following steps:
1. Press the on/off button (the speakerphone must be turned off).
2. Wait for the signal (a female voice will notify you that the device is ready for pairing).
3. Start searching for Bluetooth devices on your phone.
4. Connect the found “BT Speaker” device to the phone.
To connect the second one, you need to perform all the same actions a second time.
During charging, the call accept/end button is highlighted in red, when the battery is fully charged - blue:
Full color indication scheme from the instructions:
Device installed on the sun visor:
The distance to the microphone is (in my particular case) 25-30 cm, which is good news. The clip has space for installation on both sides; by opening the visor, you can easily rearrange the speakerphone. Naturally, the distance to the microphone will increase; I have not yet tested the quality of work in the unfolded state.
Now the first fly in the ointment: the speaker is not of particularly high quality, the sound leaves much to be desired. The microphone seems to be a little better, but also not hi-end. There are sometimes noises when talking. Although it is suitable for communication in a car. I am not comfortable with a soldering iron and was not even able to disassemble the device, but I think that professionals will be able to finish the device if they wish.
The second fly in the ointment: Handsfree automatically pairs with the phone only when you turn it on; if you step away for 10 minutes or more, you have to manually connect the phone to the gadget again.
That's all, actually. The device is simple and functional, although it could be better.
Pros:
1. Inexpensive device for hands-free calling while driving.
2. High-quality performance.
3. Detailed instructions.
4. Very convenient fastening.
5. Voice notifications.
Minuses:
1. Weak microphone and speaker.
2. The need to reconnect the phone every time if you are away for more than ten minutes.
Conclusions:
A good device that makes life easier for motorists, for little money. I recommend. :)
Instructions
Review addition:
I figured out the connection! :) If the speakerphone loses connection with the phone after being away for more than 10 minutes, just press the green button once (accept/end call) and the phone will automatically connect. Therefore, I cross out the second minus.
Review addition:
From August 29, the speakerphone worked on a single battery charge until October 13. I used it 6 days a week, about 5-10 conversations a day, 1-5 minutes each. When leaving the car in the garage, I did not turn it off. Total 46 days on one charge.
