This speakerphone announces various status alerts when you power on/off, run low on talk time, or lose/reconnect the Bluetooth connect ion to yout phone. READY: Activate the Bluetooth feature on your phone, then use the phone’s settings to add/search/discover new Bluetooth devices. Audio quality was also key. Earpieces had to be comfortable and visor kits simple to fit. Price was the final factor, taken from a range of sources as we went to press. The ML18 performs a lot better than its price suggests. Sound quality is only fair, but it's comfortable and can connect to two phones at once. It's relatively easy to use, too, and its compact size doesn't draw attention. Its overall performance isn't enough to trouble more expensive models, though.

Remember to power off the speakerphone when you exit your car. If you forget, the speakerphone will automatically turn off after 90 minutes of not having an active connection. The K100 is basically an introductory level speakerphone with the basic feature set. Most all are controlled with the center multi-function button through a series of touches, taps and holds. To power up the speakerphone, you press and hold the mult-function button. To redial, you double tap the multi-function button. Avoid a Dead Battery: Remember to power off the speakerphone when you exit your car. If you forget, the speakerphone will automatically turn off after 90 minutes of not having an active connection. To the left of the volume knob is a button labeled FM. Tapping this button activates the K100's wireless FM transmitter, which deactivates the unit's loudspeaker and sends all outgoing audio over an FM radio frequency. Holding the FM button initiates a scan for the clearest channel, which, once found, is announced by the K100. You can then tune your car's radio to the same frequency and, ideally, hear the speakerphone's output through the stereo's speakers. Now the K100 can serve as a bridge between a Bluetooth music phone and a low-tech FM car stereo, which is quite useful when it works.

How it works You can listen to calls through your car stereo speakers by transferring the audio from the speakerphone to one of five FM channel options: However, we've had nothing but trouble getting FM transmitters to provide a clear, consistent signal amid the crowded airwaves of the San Francisco Bay Area, and the Plantronics K100 was no exception. We found ourselves having to rescan for clear FM stations as we passed through different parts of the city and after an evening of frustration, we eventually gave up and settled on listening to a few podcasts using the K100's great-sounding monaural speaker. Even at its best in the concrete bunker that is CNET's garage, FM-transmitted audio quality was merely passable with ever-present static--a bit like listening to a radio station from the next town over--which is fine if you listen to many podcasts or simple turn-by-turn directions, but may be annoying for those wanting to enjoy the delicacies of music. As always, your mileage may vary depending on the density of FM stations in your area and the sensitivity of your ears.

Like the bigger Voyager Legend tested above, the Voyager Edge has a long boom mic, although this time things are a little more compact, which can make fitting a little fiddly. It could be more comfortable, too. Sound quality is very good, though, and we liked the bundled charging cable.On sale day until 5 pm and the following Monday 8.30 am to 5.00 pm.
