How much did you pay for that?

Subject: Jabra 2 HD Voice Hands Free Speaker
Bought one of these yesterday so thought I'd give the list some idea of
what it does.
Firstly the Jabra 2 - although its designed for in car use - can be used
on a desk or anywhere without any issues.
The speaker has a mounting clip at the back which allows mounting to a sun
viser or similar in a car though this can be used to mount the speaker to
a shelf or similar depending on the users needs.
Setup is very straight forward and you will be given specific instructions
via a voice guideance system as soon as the speaker is charged and powered
on.
First thing I did was to try to issue Siri commands to an IOS device, I
had no problems whatever with this but then again I shouldn't have worried
given that this phone is HD Voice Compatible and uses Bluetooth 4.
The Speaker works equally well with Facetime though I haven't as yet tried
it with Skype.
If Hd Voice is part of your mobile phone network then you're in for a
treat with the Jabra 2 speaker as the Speaker can take full advantage of
the HD Voice calls thus bringing the conversation to life as though you
were in a room with the other party.
We did some noise tests, I spoke to a plumber both in his van and outside
working and the HD Voice system handed noise cancelation quite well. What
is even more remarkable is how the noise cancelation system works even if
loud volume is applied to the Jabra 2
The Speaker has few buttons, a button on the speaker when pressed brings
up your iPhone's Siri and when held down allows you to access voice
commands to control the Jabra 2 Speaker system, "What Can I Say" will have
the Speaker speak a list of commands that can be issued for Speaker
control.
At the top of the Speaker is a button marked by a tactile line which is
used to end a call but when in "Standby" reports the status of the Jabra
2, how much talk time is available and so on. As far as I know when the
Jabra 2 is charged 20 hours of talk time is available.
The power on/off toggle switch is on the left and a mute button is on the
right though I'm not sure if the mute button does anything whilst the
Jabra 2 is in "Standby" mode.
When on a call and the mute button is pressed the microphone is muted but
the sound of the call can still be heard through the speaker, a beep is
sounded every 30 seconds to remind you that you have the mute button
enabled.
A cigarette lighter to USB adapter comes with the device as well as a
standard USB to micro USB cable so you can easily charge the Jabra 2 with
your iPhone's charger and so on.
I'm sure to discover more about the Jabra 2 as I continue playing and I'm
yet to even start looking at the instruction manual.
I found this product in the Apple Store using the Apple Store IOS app.
naturally the streaming of music is also supported to this device.
