Review on πŸš— SoundBot SB360 Bluetooth 4.0 Car Kit: Hands-Free Talking, Music Streaming, USB Charger, Magnetic Mounts & Aux Cable Included by Chris Rigsby

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The packaging is well made and looks great. Somehow I expected less.

First of all, I didn't get any reward or discount for my review. I have a 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage and an AT&T iPhone 6s Plus. Unfortunately, in the same year, Mitsubishi decided not to add Bluetooth to this model, even though it is older. The set is well made and looks great. For some reason I was expecting cheap Chinese packaging. This is not the case here. The device looks and feels solid. No loose buttons, and the extra USB cigarette lighter charger works great with my iPhone and iPad. The double tape seems to keep the device in place for a long time. There's also a spare piece of tape if you need it. Setup was completed in less than 30 seconds. (It took me longer to figure out where to put it. Plugged in device, connected AUX cable, went into Bluetooth settings on my iPhone, selected the Soundbot from the list and I was listening to music in my car .Great Much louder than a standard AUX cable or the car's USB input.No interference, no disconnects, nothing.At least in my car, no ground isolator (jack or whatever) is required.The forward/reverse Buttons work as they should. And thanks to Bluetooth 4.0, it's instant. No lag. Sound on call is amazing. It works with AT&T's HD Voice (I assume it works for any other HD Voice or VoLTE enabled network and device will be the same). The audio in the car is crystal clear. When testing with some people, they told me they can hear me perfectly. No interference or noise. I used natural speech volume , sort of like having a phone to my ear. pr my LG Tone bluetooth headset. I haven't tested it while driving, so I'm not sure how the noise cancellation works on road noise. The cables are more than long enough to reach the USB charger and the AUX input, they vary greatly depending on the vehicle. And they feel durable too. It will take me some time to figure out how to place them so they don't look like a mess. The delivery was very, very fast. Ordered from Puerto Rico on Saturday and arrived on Tuesday. Some people say that the "call button" also activates Siri, but that's not the case for me. I have to do it manually and Siri doesn't speak through the car stereo. Instead, the speakerphone is used. (I'm using iOS 10 developer beta so it might not work. I might update it in a few months when iOS 10 is released). Lighter - Dual Band Magnetic Plate - 2 Metal Clips - Extra piece of Dual Band - Soundbot SB360 Great buy at only $17! Highly recommended for anyone looking to add "Bluetooth" functionality to their vehicle. A NOTICE. Your vehicle MUST have an AUX INPUT option on the radio and a 3.5mm IN jack. Or it doesn't work for you.
