Review:

The Parrot Minikit Slim sports a simple design and is very compact. It has dimensions of 4.3 x 2.4 x 1.1 inches and weighs less than 3 ounces. It isn’t likely to take up much space in your car, which is very essential in a speakerphone kit. It can be mounted on the visor which saves up valuable dashboard space. The build quality is very nice and durable. The Minikit Slim should last you for years. It is composed mostly of black rubber which lends some of its durability to it. It can easily blend in with your car interiors. The black and silver combo looks very appealing.

It is very easy to use and has few controls. It has a knob in the front at the center flanked by two buttons- the green Call / Answer key and the red End key. It also has a small clip on the back using which you can attach it to the visor. To use the Minikit Slim, just switch it on, pair it with your mobile phone and you are set to go. You can make calls directly from the Minikit Slim by pressing the Green button and saying the contact’s name you wish to call. The voice recognition is pretty nice and works most of the times.

The sound quality on the Parrot Minikit Slim is very clear and nice. It uses vibrating panel technology to provide great sound. The built in microphone also has nice quality. The volume levels of the speaker are a bit low though. The Minikit Slim can last for about 2 hrs and 20 mins easily. It also has a decent standby time. It comes with a car charger for ease of charging. All in all, it is a nice option for those who need an affordable hands free car kit, but are bored of using regular bluetooth headsets.

Pros:

• Compact, Slim
• Easy to use
• Nice Sound

Cons:

• Low volume

Our Rating: 3 / 5.
