HKT400 Speaker phone
I don’t’ really like handsfree car kits for many reasons. On one hand they can be uncomfortable if we’re not travelling alone in the car and someone else also hears the conversation. On the other hand if they are not built in to the vehicle (thus placing the microphones and speakers to an ideal place) we won’t have good sound quality.
Unfortunately the HKT400 is also from the “non-built-in” category, installing the device only involves plugging it into the cigarette lighter and off we go chatting. The speaker has only three buttons, so it’s easy to handle: with those on its side we can alter the volume, while we can use the button on its front to accept/reject calls.
A few words about the experiences. As some of you might not know, I’m lurking on the capital’s streets with a Toyota Yaris, which has its lighter behind the gearshift, in the lower part. Given this situation I had some problems. Although everything was okay with the speaker, as it was loud enough that I heard every little hiss from the one I was talking with, but the microphone didn’t prove to be as sensitive. My greatest problem was, however, that my lighter being taken, I had nowhere to plug my GPS and phone into. As for me I would still choose the built-in type, but for vehicles where the lighter isn’t in such a cover, this speaker will perform much better.
