Parrot MiniKit +.

The good: The Parrot mini kit + provides handsfree and A2DP audio streaming. It automatically downloads the phone book from paired phone, activate the voice dialing stored contacts. The noise - and echo-reducing microphone provides clear calls.

The bad: Speaker quality is passable good but could stand a little improvement.

The bottom line: The Parrot MiniKit + makes good use of his voice controls and excellent microphone for clear calls and to provide a safer driving experience.

If the above product looks familiar, don't be surprised. The Parrot MiniKit + shares not only a design, but also its name with the previously tested Parrot MiniKit slim. I was a bit nonplussed, about which the suffix change slim up + meant, but it turns out that Parrot already great performance across the Board has made incremental changes to the MiniKit.

Design
As regards the design, different not the mini kit + the original MiniKit slim. The dimensions are approximately the same: 2.4 inches wide, 4.3 inches long, and about 1.1 inches deep at the thickest end. The device is now black, black and silver, but the company at the end of the unit is flanked on the same control knob by calling accept still home and stop buttons.

The rest of the device user-oriented area a flat panel speakers, dominated the is loud and clear for the part of the audible spectrum, that the average human voice in lives, but is probably too tinny and distorted "pleasant." be called then again, just because the mini kit + can play means music not that it designed was or should be used for something.

The device measures a vehicle with a thin, wire hanger, which sits flush with the device chassis when not in use and stretches to accommodate themselves to the most sun visors. The hood of your vehicle is simply too thick, contains also a rubber band, targeting Parrot, wraps around the mini kit + to give something.

The mini Kit + ships with a 12-volt USB mains adapter and a length of USB cable to charge your headset with mini-USB connector (located on the edge of the device). The mini kit + can be used with or without the power adapter you get its internal battery, up to 12 hours of talk time, 15 days stand by mode, or a combination thereof with a charge of 3.5 hours. The device achieved this extremely long standby time by shutting down almost completed, when not in use is or when away from a paired phone and reactivate, if his internal motion sensor noticed that again the vehicle had entered you crush the chassis with your body weight.

Functions
The Bluetooth-powered Parrot MiniKit + really only makes two things: serve as a hands-free device with hands free profile enabled devices and audio streams of A2DP-enabled devices. The latter function is rather a bonus as a real selling point, but we come back, that at the moment.

After pairing with a Bluetooth enabled phone via a four-digit PIN, tried the mini Kit + automatically, download the users address book. Also an option to an address book sync is available in menus of the device manually solve. There is room in the internal memory for a claimed 2,000 contacts per paired phone, and since the mini kit + pair data for up to 10 phones can remember which brings the maximum number of stored contacts to 20,000.
