Summary: Disappointed
Comment: Had a hard time making the connection to my phone work - it would always go to voicemail - not worth the trouble to keep trying when there are quite a few other handsfree units available.

Summary: jabra sp5050
Comment: Have been using this product for a little over a month now on a daily basis on my 20 mile round trip commute.
Overall I would rate this product good...sound quality from the speaker is OK on my end but rated as very good by callers. Ease of use is as advertised and the unit is discrete and well designed. Syncing couldn't be easier and the auto off function is a nice feature.
The cons are that the volume could be higher. I have a good sound proofed SUV, but even then I find the volume from the device even at max to be 20% lower than I would like.
Overall the product is good and worth what I paid for it, but the sheer issue of the volume limitation will probably result in me buying an in ear headset, which I was trying so desperately to avoid.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good looking speaker needs little more volume
Comment: Reasonably priced, good looking, and easy to operate. Needs more volume on the highways although other side can hear me well. Automatic shut-down is nice but it only works for a longer period. If you return before it turns itself off, you must manually turn off and on again to pair.

Summary: Works fine, but read the manual!
Comment: The first unit I received worked for a day and then refused to power up. Customer service at Jabra was a waste of time (1.25 hours on hold; I finally gave up), and you can't even email them your question without giving them every piece of personal information--name, address, phone, and so on--which seems unnecessary.
I returned the unit to the seller, JoWow, at my own expense, and received a new one, which works. The most important thing to know before you try to use this is that you MUST read and learn the difference between a "tap" a "press" and a "press & hold" on the device, otherwise you will forever be hanging up on people, not able to voice-dial, and so on.
I drive a pickup that is relatively noisy in the cab at highway speeds. However, I am able to hear people and they can hear me, which is more than I can say for some of the earphone units I've tried.
One gripe: when someone calls you, your phone starts ringing AND the unit starts ringing. When you tap the device to answer, your phone stops ringing, but the device KEEPS ringing for a few seconds, during which time you cannot hear the caller and they cannot hear you. I have had people hang up on me because they thought the call was dropped, but in reality, I was saying "hello! hello! hello!" but they couldn't hear me until the device stopped ringing.
This delay is annoying, and I am not certain if it is related to the phone I am using (LGVX8300 from Verizon) or if it is a function of the device that is just stupid. I'm going to keep it because other than that it does work well, and bluetooth earphones drive me crazy.

Summary: Not everything it's cracked up to be
Comment: Don't know if anyone else has this problem, but sometimes when I first turn it on, it takes two or three phone calls out for me to hear that the phone is ringing and if anyone answers it (my cellphone says "connected" but I hear nothing coming out of the speaker). Also, you can't use your voice recognition dialing, unless you push the button on the phone that starts the process, shout the name of the person you are dialing at the speakerphone, and hope it recognizes it. It could be a bit louder when you finally do get someone on the line also. It is very difficult to hit the right spot on the unit to answer or turn off your phone while you are driving and it is very hard to see somtimes if it is on or off. And, sometimes if my phone is in my purse and not on the car seat, it can't find it and disconnects. And, it does not come with an AC charger. I called the company about that and was told that they weren't going to bother with an AC charger. Oh well. Maybe customers shouldn't bother with Jabra.
