Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy set up and blends well to interior of vehicle.

This item is very quite making it hard to hear phone conversations. The device decided to start turning itself off then on again at random. Sent it back to Motorola under warranty. For the price there has to be a better alternative.

Bought this for my husband who takes calls and responds to texts on the road. He is technologically savvy but he had difficulty setting g it up, receiving clear calls and truly being hands free. I returned the item to the store

I payed $75 for this product and got very poor results, I tried to use the speaker phone and can't hear it because of road noise in my diesel truck. Also the FM transmitter has a low power output so my antenna wouldn't even pick up the signal 90% of the time, and when it did it didn't matter what station you set it to it had unbearable static. Really was disappointed because I had a $25 cigarette lighter fm transmitter and and lost it, it worked better than this thing ever has! I was really expecting "you get what you pay for" in this setting but after dropping almost $100 on this thing it let me down, great job Motorola...

Have to keeps he charger in it most of the time and it decides when it want to work. Should automatically connect to my phone every time I get into the car.. Not sure what's going on.. Do not care for it at all.

This is my first aftermarket bluetooth and I found that it was too complictaed to do what a simply wanted it to do. Just answer my phone .. I don't care that5 it might play music etc, etc,

Pros are very easy to set up, tells who is calling. Cons are the speaker is not very clear very hard to hear at highway speeds, and I am told I sound like I'm in a tunnel when speaking.

My BlueAnt handsfree died so I did the research and this Motorola unit came out on top. I picked one up on Friday at Best Buy and used it over the weekend. By Tuesday it wouldn't take a charge. I returned it and got another one. It only lasted one day before refusing to charge. Standby time is supposed to be over 100 hours, mine was fully charged in the morning and dead at 3:30 that afternoon. After that it wouldn't charge. I returned that unit as well.

Was working fine for a while then I was told that I not clear ( people kept saying WHAT) then it quit all together so I need to return it !!!

Easy to set-up and connect. Turns itself off after period of inactivity which extends battery life. Clear sound and the FM modulator works well to find open frequencies.

This device is disappointing-poor quality at both ends of conversation. Would not buy again nor recommend.

With my old T215 people had no problem hearing me, didn't know I was on a hands free speaker. This one....I constantly have to repeat myself and virtually have to yell and speak slowly to be understood, I've started using my wired ear buds to be understood, waste of money.

I bought one & it worked great for about 10 days. I returned it for a new one. The second one worked great for about 14 days & then it also quit working. Yes, I charged the battery. It still didn't work. Wouldn't suggest buying this one.

Not sure why, but this did not work for me. I was only able to turn it on once and it was only for a few seconds, then nothing. I ended up returning it. I'm sure it is a good product. I probably just bought a bad one. Wished it would have worked for me.

When the product worked, it was good. Bought two...1 for each car. Didn't always come on automatically...then, wouldn't respond to voice commands with any regularity. Returned both units.

If you have a car that only auto seeks, don’t buy this! If you can tune to any channel, it may be ok at best. Buy a regular Bluetooth headset

This is one of the worst products I ever purchased from best buy It doesn't work most of the time and I have to keep it plugged in. The sound quality is terrible.

Wouldn't stay charged or paired. Not hands free. Rarely worked. Thought it would be better than the Parrot Neo we had before. Wasn't. Should've kept the Neo.

First, don't ever forget that BestBuy does prices matches with several brick and online stores. Googling the price of this device before checkout can save you $40 fast. And after owning this device for a while, you might decide is wasn't worth much more than that to begin with. This speakerphone offers all of the voice-activated, voice-reply, nearly hands-free features I need to safely text and make calls while on the road. A portion of my job requires driving during the day, in heavy city traffic, whilst my boss and coworkers feel the need to constantly call and text me with some stupid question or important last minute change of plans. My car is also manual transmission. Traffic, stick shift, phone beeping every 2 seconds. Bad combination. The Motorola Roadster 2 clips on solidly to my visor and blends perfectly into the gray leather interior of my BMW. The buttons have a smooth rubber-eraser like feel and the speaker covering is fuzzy soft cloth not bare plastic. It looks and feels like a modern, high-end device. The symbols on the buttons are slightly raised to give you some tactile feedback so you don't have to take your eyes off the road when using them, and in case you do they actually light up LED white in the dark making them very easy to identify. As soon as I open my door and sit down the Roadster 2 knows I'm in the car and makes a single ping (sounds like a submarine's sonar ping lol). Because I've previously paired my phone to the device, it automatically reestablishes a bluetooth connection in a few seconds and speaks clearly (for the most part): "David's HTC One <pause> connected." I didn't even have to take the phone out of my pocket. From this point on I can (or at least theoretically should be able to) handle all of my voice calls and texts nearly hands-free. I've installed the device's companion app "Motospeak" on my phone which allows me send texts completely by voice and have incoming texts messages read to me. Motospeak synced to my contacts so the Roadster 2 announces by voice the name of the incoming caller or texter. It then asks me whether I want to answer the call or, if it's a text: "Do you want to listen now?" Of course I do, so I say "yes." And here is problem #1. About 50% of the time it understands the simple "yes." The other 50%... who knows what it heard but it starts rattling off a list of options: reply, repeat, cancel. And no matter which of those I say, it just keeps repeating the list. But let's say I got lucky and it understood me this time and starts to speak the message. The voice for standard phrases and words in the devices menu and command vocabulary ("incoming call, connected, disconnected, text message from, fm mode," all numbers, etc.) is very clearly enunciated and is an easily understandable mid-high pitched voice. Problem #2: However, the voice for non-standard words that require spontaneous synthesis is nearly unintelligible. It's low-pitched (blends into traffic or other noise if there is any) and deeply muffled. It's difficult to hear or understand, like someone's talking with a pillow stuffed in their face. You can make it out, sometimes, but if you're concentrating hard on deciphering speech, then you're paying a little less attention to traffic and the road, so that kind of defeats the whole purpose. To initiate a call or text by voice, you can either push a button on the device or tap the app widget on your phone. The device beeps and the Motospeak app starts loading. Problem #3: The app takes f-o-r-e-v-e-r to start up. 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 20+ seconds. Maybe I'm being too fussy, but in 2013 when I push a button on an electronic device (especially an expensive one) I expect something to happen NOW, not in a little while. I suspect the delay is caused by the app re-syncing with my contacts (about 1200 aggregated from multiple accounts) each time it starts up. I could live with that except... Problem #4: The speech recognition really isn't all that great either. It rarely understands the name of the contact I asked it to call or text. Instead, it will give me a list of 3 people and read through it asking whether each person is the contact I wanted. This exercise in futility distracts me from driving and further delays the information I'm trying to communicate to someone. The exercise it futile because if the person you're trying to call or text is not on the list of 3 "possibles" Motospeak guessed at, it exits the routine and you have to start all over (and it won't understand you any better next time). It's easier to pick up the phone, so what's the point of using the device? The device's built-in speaker has above-average sound quality and volume for it's size. Callers' speech and streamed music have a broad range of tone and sound surprisingly good, enough so that I've used this this device out of the car as a portable Bluetooth speaker. The FM transmitter also works well (except trying to have it find an unused frequency on its own, it never fails to stop on ones with a lot of interference), callers' speech comes through clear on the car's radio although music does sound a little "flat" I noticed that it sounds somewhat better and there is less interference when it's connected to a charger, even when the battery itself is fully charged. Of course, it automatically silences the music when a call or text comes in. But how do I sound to the people on the other side of the call when using this Bluetooth speakerphone? Problem #5: "You sound like you're in a well." That's what my boss told me the second time I used it to make a call in the car. I had to raise my voice significantly to be heard and still it didn't go well. Which I didn't understand, because the first time I called him using it (while parked in his driveway) he couldn't even tell I was on a speakerphone (I asked, he said I sounded loud and clear). There's not a lot of road noise in my car, so I've ruled that out as the cause. So, besides all the speech bells and whistles that could potentially (but don't) make this the perfect hands-free Bluetooth device for the road, even the most basic of features in a speakerphone--call quality--is hit or miss on the Roadster 2. I had such high hopes, and am sooo disappointed. It's a great idea, it just doesn't work.

i need to return within 20 does not work this is horrible
