With its curved lines and compact design, many would struggle to tell the difference between this latest Parrot Bluetooth speakerphone and its previous incarnates. What makes this different to the Minikit Slim and Minikit+ is that the Neo allows a driver to manage all their phone calls, e-mails and text messages entirely through the their voice. There are two integrated buttons. The green one is pressed to accept calls, dial from your phonebook and activate voice recognition while the red button is used to hang up and exit menus. Both flank a rotary knob which, when pressed, activates the Neo's audible menu. The knob is then twisted to cycle through the Neo's various options and adjust the volume.
A 3-watt NXT vibrating panel speaker makes up the bulk of the unit, with a multi-directional noise-cancelling microphone on its leading edge. Sound quality for calls is brilliant, the Digital Signal Processing reducing echo effectively. However, it's not quite strong enough to play music through Bluetooth, due to low levels of bass. Charging is simple through the Micro USB port, and a switch on the side of the unit turns it off and on, and also lets you check the power life of the 1,000mAh battery.
