mVox MV900

The mVox MV900 is a Bluetooth and USB speakerphone:
“The MVOX MV900 is a portable and true hands-free speakerphone with DSP voice processing technologies together with speaker independent voice dialing. It is the ideal communication solution for any mobile professional using it in the car with a Bluetooth cellular phone or using it with a computer to make conference calls through Voice over IP. It’s superior performance enables loud and clear voice.”
CNET reviews the MVox MV900, and finds the speaker quality acceptable at low range but less than satisfactory when turned up higher. Overall, “For the most part, we were quite pleased with the mVox MV900’s performance, but there were a couple of definite weak points–particularly when trying to adjust volume. Pairing the unit with our cell phone was intuitive enough–we just had to press and hold the Talk button until we heard a couple of beeps, indicating that the unit was ready for the phone’s half of the procedure.”
MobileBurn reviews the Mvox MV900 and notes, “The audio quality of the MV900 was very acceptable. While it wouldn’t rival a permanent built in car handsfree, for a portable system that is cheaper and easier to use, it is well worth the purchase. The performance of the Mvox MV900 in the wind test showed that it will cope well with car air conditioning, but will lose clarity with windows open. The noise test demonstrated little noise reduction, but in a speakerphone this is less of an issue. The volume produced by the built in speaker is good, though at high volume levels it did become a bit distorted. The microphone did an excellent job at picking up my voice, and callers on the other end twice commented on the quality of the audio they were hearing.”

mVox MV900 Reviews
TreoCentral has a review of the MVox MV900 and finds it very visually appealing, with a very attractive form. The overall conclusion? “The MV900 is by far the best performing hands free speakerphone I’ve tested. It mostly lives up to its claimed features and was definitely a hit with people on the other end of the call, many of whom weren’t sure if they were on speaker phone, because none asked the infamous question, “Am I on speaker phone?” I had to tell them, “Hey I’m on a mobile speaker phone, how does it sound?” Its sexy casework is also eye-grabbing and drool-inducing. “
