I recently got to try out another of Jabra’s fabulous products. While all my other products have been great, this one actually allows me to be safer behind the wheel, which is important with the precious cargo that travel with me! Let me tell you about the Jabra Tour,, which is a Bluetooth in-car speakerphone that can work with any Bluetooth enabled device.
Let’s face it, as moms, we are forced to multi-task, because our to-do lists are never ending. My drive between dropping the kids off at school and heading to work seems to be my can do time. But, I do not feel safe holding the phone and driving, knowing that I am trying to do too much. I have the Bluetooth ear piece, but often forget to put it in, which is why I am loving the Jabra Tour!
The Jabra Tour is a device that stays in my car, nicely tucked on my visor, and automatically connects when my phone is in range. The sound is great and I have not found it have static or break up. I love the voice activated call option, which allows me to make a call without even reaching for my phone. Also, since it is connected, I love that my map directions from the phone are sent through the Tour, which make them easier to hear. Like all Jabra products, the Tour is super easy to connect, set-up, and use. I have to admit that this is one of the products I wasn’t sure I would use, but it has quickly become one of my favorite new products and I use it on a daily basis! I would recommend the Tour to anyone who spends time in their car.

It’s so much safer to use a bluetooth when driving. If a car doesn’t have it built in, this is the way to go.
I love that you can easily clip the speaker on the car. I would love to have one for my car!
My car has bluetooth. I do not know what I would do with out it! Safety first!
I didn’t even know something like this was an option. We don’t have built in, so I’ll have to look into getting one.
That is a great tool and anyone that talks on their phone while driving really should have one of these.
That’s a pretty good price point for something that helps you be safer. I love bluetooth but wish it didn’t drain my battery so badly.
This is pretty neat. I could use one of these. Maybe I’ll put it on my birthday wishlist.
I really like that voice directions come through it. I have a heck of a time hearing them over road noise otherwise. Love this gadget!
This sounds like a great option for those that don’t have built-in bluetooth. Hands-free is the law here in MD and DE.
This is a great, easy and safe way to drive. Thanks for sharing this tool.
This looks so cool! This would be a great way to upgrade my car and keep hands free! Have to show hubby
This sounds great. I like the convenience of clipping it on the visor.
The Jabra Tour sounds like a great product! I love bluetooth devices for in the car.
I have a blue tooth that is set up a lot like this. It clips to my visor and I don’t have to take it out of my car (and it automatically connects to my phone when my phone is in the car.) It’s so handy!
I have some Jabra products that I really enjoy, it would be great to try this one out too!
I have a Jabra wireless speaker and I have to say… the quality is unbeatable! I love mine!
Jabra makes great stuff! Love that this will let you use it even if you’re not right next to it!
Here in Illinois it’s actually outlawed not only to text and drive but to talk and drive, too. If you’re caught on the phone while driving you’ll get a hefty fine! This product would be great to have when I start driving ^.^
I love music and sometimes it’s very difficult to get tangled with so many wires just to enjoy your songs. This is a great speaker since it will not require you to plug any wire. This is safer as well for your car. :)
I love that it has voice activation! Anything that keeps your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel is a great improvement!
I must be living under a rock bc I’ve never heard of Jabra. I want to check it out!!
I’m a longtime fan of Jabra products! I love the features of this one and will definitely purchase. This will be very beneficial to me!
What a nifty little device! The bluetooth always slips out of my ear, so this is so much better
My husband has Bluetooth built into my car and it makes me jealous! I could totally use something like the Jabra Tour for my vehicle.
Amanda, they have awesome products!!
Christie, this one is so easy to use. I love that it automatically connects when I get in my car.
I have a Jabra in my car that my husband bought! Yours is a much newer model than mine!
I need to pick one of these up. Our new vehicle doesn’t have bluetooth and I miss being able to listen to my songs.
I used to have Bluetooth and it was so convenient! I need to get another ear piece.
Sounds like a great tool and help! I drive a lot and could really use this!
We use something like this. Only bad thing is if I’m outside the car and get a call my car is constantly trying to connect. LOL It made it interesting pumping gas.
