Now you can have hands-free comfort while using your
cell phone. Not only do these headsets give you the
freedom to keep both your hands on the wheel, but they
also offer outstanding sound quality and comfort.
The noise-canceling microphone helps to screen out
road and other noises so your caller can hear you better.
And the headphone positions the speaker against your
ear perfectly so you can hear your caller more clearly.
