TreoCentral Review
TC Review: mr Handsfree Blue Smart Advanced Bluetooth Car Kit
Reviewed by Andre Kibbe
Older car stereos can be replaced with Bluetooth-enabled units, but if you like your current stereo, it may be more cost-effective to simply add Bluetooth. In my case, it wasn’t. My Dual XDM 6400 has Bluetooth, but only supports A2DP out of the box. I had to buy the manufacturer’s proprietary adapter to support the hands-free profile. The beauty of the Blue Smart is that it works with any car stereo, and can even work without a stereo, thanks to the unit’s integrated speaker.

Included in the box for the mr Handsfree Blue Smart (yes, that’s a lower-case “mr”–sans period) are three operational components: the handsfree unit, the remote control, and the microphone; two installation support components: the power connections and fixation pieces (screws, clips, double-sided tape); and documentation: a printed Quick Reference Guide and a CD with the full manual on PDF.

As the name suggests, the handsfree unit is the heart of the product. It’s a black box with an integrated speaker and four jacks: one for the microphone, one for the remote control, one for the power connection, and one for an external speaker connection. If you have the unit wired according to the optional “Professional built-in connection,” the integrated speaker is switched off when the external speaker is used.

As previously mentioned, I tested the Blue Smart’s Plug-and-Drive setup, not the built-in connections, so I can’t comment on the sound quality through car stereo speakers (which would most likely depend on the particular speakers anyway). My Dual XDM 6400’s setup resembles the professional built-in connection—through the car speakers with the handsfree unit’s speaker disabled. It’s definitely worth spending the extra money to have the professional connection installed, if the Dual is any indication.

The Blue Smart’s internal speaker, however, is better than average. My car is noisier than Prius-era vehicles, and the speaker provides enough reinforcement in the bass end, even at relatively low volumes, to compete with the engine at highway speeds. It’s a little weak in the high midrange, so it still sounds like a speakerphone compared to the professional built-in alternative—but a good speakerphone that’s easily heard above the din of a typical car. My first attempt at installing the Blue Smart resulted in bad reviews of the sound quality from a couple of friends on the other end. Once I repositioned the microphone, opinions of the sound were all “good” (unlike wine critics, my friends don’t describe things with a thesaurus).

If you like your existing car stereo, but it lacks handsfree capability, the mr Handsfree Blue Smart is a smart upgrade, especially if you can manage the professional built-in connection. The Plug-and-Drive connection is an extremely simple installation, and the speaker quality is good enough to make the convenience of setup worth forgoing the built-in connection if you’re more of a pragmatist than an audiophile.
