This is for my brother in a old car,what is a good very cheap one and how do they work,seen some around £10 or under which is the price i would look at.

There Bluetooth with a cigi socket and lead u.s.b,mainly to answer a call as before you set off you can press a button to make a call or pull up.

Like do you press a button to answer like we do know on the built in ones and press to end,any advice would be great as he travels a lot.



Get him one of these Jace, im sure he would thank you for it! They are all the rage, he can even wear it walking around Asda and look so cool talking away with two hands still on the trolley.

I think to add to his street cred then a couple of extra bits for his car such as these would really compliment the headset.

Cheers for the advice and the fun,im always up for a good laugh.

There is a few cheap ones on ebay but i aint got a clue how they work as never had one.

I'd recommend a supertooth buddy or similar. Clip onto sun visor and rechargeable.

Anything under 20 quid is likely to be rubbish.

Parrot kits are good but way over the budget you were suggesting.

Anything half decent though will be at least twice your budget unless you buy an in ear Bluetooth. I bought a 10 quid special from Tesco and it wasn't bad to be fair until I washed it in my trouser pocket.

I do see 100% where you are coming from,see my brother is close to 70 so just a cheap one that works ok,if its not A1 it not a problem.

His car is only a cheap one just to get him from A to B as he don't always keep the best of health.

LOL.

I could be wrong but I've yet to find a decent "Bluetooth Hands Free" kit that works well and you can actually hear what the other persons saying.  My car has it built in luckily, but I have always used Parrot units in the past.  Obviously they are well out of the original budget but in my opinion well, well worth the money.

Doesn't say if there is an aux lead or not (I guess it doesn't?) but I have also in the past had the phone connected through this so it came through the speakers, and just spoke into it when it was on SpeakerPhone, seemed to work quite well.
