Parrot PMK5800 3.00

Explain star rating

RRP

$139.00

Review Date

What's Hot

Reasonable outgoing audio, easy to set up and use, voice recognition, music playback via A2DP

What's Not

Incoming audio quality could be improved, FM technology unreliable, recording voice a hit and miss affair

The Final Word

The PMK5800 is a reasonable but far from outstanding choice if you need a hands-free speakerphone in the car. The inclusion of FM transmission is a positive feature because it allows you to use your car stereo for audio; however, the technology itself is unreliable.
