10 Best Bluetooth Car Speakerphones of 2024 – Reviews & Top Picks

VeoPulse Car Speakerphone B-PRO 2B

Car Speakerphone

These days, most cars come with a built-in Bluetooth speakerphone as part of the vehicle’s entertainment unit. Once you set them up, each time you get in the car, your cell phone will automatically connect to the unit, allowing you to make and receive hands-free calls and stream music through your stereo.

These are great systems, and you may wonder why anyone still needs an aftermarket speakerphone. The truth is, if your car has a built-in system, you probably don’t. But, if you drive different fleet vehicles each day as part of your employment or have an older car without this technology, you can benefit from one of these devices.

As with most electronic devices, there are many brands and models of aftermarket speakerphones available, and choosing the best of them can be tricky. So, to help you, we’ve put together this list of in-depth reviews that will give you a good start in finding the right device for you.

  • The 10 Best Bluetooth Car Speakerphones:

    1. VeoPulse Hands-Free kit Car Speakerphone – Best Overall

    VeoPulse

    The VeoPulse BPRO2B is an excellent speakerphone and our pick for the best overall model. It’s a well-designed unit that uses the latest Bluetooth technology, works with any Bluetooth-enabled phone, and is very simple to set up.

    As with most of these devices, you will only need to pair your cell once, and after that, it will connect automatically. It works well connected to your phone for calls and doubles as a speaker on which you can stream music, podcasts, or audiobooks from your phone while driving.

    We are particularly impressed by the VeoPulse BPRO2B’s automatic turn-on and off feature, which is particularly handy if you use the device in one vehicle.  With this feature, the BPRO2B will detect when you get in the car, automatically switch on and connect your phone, and automatically switch itself off when you get out.

    The other big plus for this device is that it works well with your phone’s voice recognition. You can use your phone’s voice commands to activate Siri or Okay Google and dial any number in your phone while using the device.

    Pros
    • Easy setup
    • Voice recognition
    • Auto on/off
    • Good sound quality
    • Good build quality
    Cons
    • None

    2. Aigital Bluetooth in Car Speakerphone – Best Value

    Aigital

    The Aigital Bluetooth in Car Speakerphone is a smaller device than some of the speakerphones we have reviewed for this article. Yet, despite its compact size, this little speakerphone still comes with many of the features found in its larger cousins and is, in our opinion, the best Bluetooth car speakerphone for the money.

    As expected from such a small device, the sound produced by the self-contained speaker isn’t to the same standard as your larger car speakers, but it is perfectly fine for making calls and listening to audiobooks and podcasts.

    This device doesn’t quite match the quality of the VeoPulse BPRO2B, but we really can’t fault this speakerphone. So, if you want to save money, this little device may be just what you need.

    Pros
    • Great value for money
    • Compact device
    • Auto on/off
    • Noise reduction
    Cons
    • Poor speaker sound
    • Uses older Bluetooth technology

    3. Jabra Bluetooth Speakerphone – Premium Choice

    Jabra 100-46000000-02

    If you are looking for a car speakerphone with all the bells and whistles and you don’t mind paying extra, our premium choice, the Jabra 100-46000000-02 Bluetooth speakerphone is the device for you. This well-built Bluetooth speakerphone has all the usual features and a few premium extras you won’t typically see on its cheaper cousins.

    For music fans, this device comes fitted with three speakers, providing a much cleaner sound than you’ll get from any of the other speakerphones we have reviewed. On top of that, the Jabra will allow you to broadcast your music, calls, and other streaming media to your car radio via a built-in FM transmitter.

    Perhaps the most significant area of complaint about car speakerphones is background noise. With this device, however, that isn’t a problem, as the dual microphones and background noise reduction technology that Jabra has built into their device are outstanding.

    Naturally, these extra features come at a cost, and since it’s 50% more expensive than our top choice speakerphone, the Jabra won’t be for everyone. But if you don’t mind paying extra, you really can’t go past the Jabra 100-46000000-02.

    Pros
    • Auto on/off
    • Easy setup
    • Voice recognition
    • Noise reduction technology
    • Great sound quality
    • Excellent build quality
    Cons
    • Price

    4. Besign BK06 Bluetooth 5.0 in-Car Speakerphone

    Besign BK06

    Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity is the latest Bluetooth version, and its inclusion is the standout feature of the Besign BK06 speakerphone.  Offering double the speed and up to four times the range of the previous Bluetooth version means that this device is more stable and less likely to drop out mid-call than devices using earlier versions.

    Another nice feature of the Besign is that it comes with built-in dual speakers. This helps slightly in overcoming the problem of poor sound quality common with speakerphones, but it is still unlikely that you will want to spend too much time listening to music on this device.

    One major drawback we found is that the manufacturer has chosen not to include an in-car charger. Sure, you can purchase a generic aftermarket charger or take your device inside and charge it with the supplied USB cable, but for a device designed for your car, we feel that this is a significant oversight.

    Pros
    • Dual speakers
    • Latest Bluetooth technology
    • Auto on/off
    Cons
    • No in-car charger provided

    5. Avantree CK11 Hands Free Bluetooth Speakerphone

    Avantree CK11

    The Avantree CK11 is a reliable, well-built device with all the standard features that you would expect in a modern Bluetooth speakerphone. However, we particularly like the large, easy-to-adjust rotary volume knob on the front of the device. It isn’t a feature you get on many speakerphones, and it is a smart addition that allows you to adjust the volume of your speakerphone without taking your eyes off the road.

    Not so pleasing, however, is that Avantree has chosen not to include the latest Bluetooth technology in their device, something that you could forgive in a budget device but is a little disappointing for a mid-range model such as this.

    Curiously, Avantree themselves have said that this device is not ideal for use in trucks. This suggests the Avantree might be more prone to issues with background noise than others.

    Pros
    • Easy on/off
    • Auto-connect
    • Rotary volume knob
    Cons
    • Uses old Bluetooth technology
    • Not suitable for use in trucks

    6. Motorola Sonic Rider Bluetooth in-Car Speakerphone

    Motorola Mobile Accessories

    The Motorola Sonic Rider SP-005BK is well built, aesthetically pleasing, and is from a well-known brand with a good reputation in the communications industry. While it contains most of the features you would expect, its design and features have remained virtually unchanged for at least the last 5 years, meaning that the device uses old technology.

    Most notably, Motorola does not employ the latest version of Bluetooth and won’t work with cell phone voice Apps like Siri and OK Google.

    Pros
    • Reputable brand
    • Solid construction
    • Auto on/off
    • Auto-connect
    Cons
    • Older model device
    • Uses older Bluetooth technology
    • Fewer connectivity options

    7. SuperTooth Bluetooth Speakerphone

    SuperTooth Z004098E

    Like the Motorola device we reviewed above, the SuperTooth Z004098E is an older device that has remained unchanged for at least the last 8 years.  As such, it does not use the latest Bluetooth technology and is likely less reliable with your cell phone than newer model speakerphones.

    Also missing from this device are some features that are now standard for newer car speakerphones, including auto power on/off and auto connectivity.  Conversely, if you are just looking for a basic device that you can connect your phone to, without worrying about using some of the more modern features, the SuperTooth may be the right choice for you.

    Pros
    • A basic device with no confusing features
    Cons
    • Price
    • Older model device
    • Uses older Bluetooth technology
    • No automatic features
    • Fewer options for connectivity

    8. Plantronics K100 Bluetooth Speakerphone

    Plantronics K100

    The Plantronics K100 is another older model speakerphone. Having first been released in 2010, it doesn’t have many features available on some of the more modern speakerphones.

    You will, however, get a couple of nice bonuses with this device, including an in-car charger and an inbuilt FM transmitter that will allow you to play your calls, music, podcasts, and other audio files through your car’s stereo system.

    Pros
    • Slim design
    • Built-in FM transmitter
    • Comes with an in-car charger
    Cons
    • Older model device
    • Uses older Bluetooth technology
    • No automatic features
    • Fewer options for connectivity

    9. Nulaxy BR05 Hands-Free Bluetooth Speakerphone

    Nulaxy

    The BR05 Hands-Free Bluetooth Speakerphone from Nulaxy is a recently released device. It is an inexpensive device with some impressive specifications. However, the BR05 is not as well constructed as other devices we have reviewed. As such, it may not be the best speakerphone for commercial vehicle drivers or those requiring a robust and hard-wearing device.

    We also found the BR05 to be a little challenging to use, with many of the buttons having multiple functions, which isn’t ideal and can make using the device tricky while driving.

    Pros
    • Inexpensive
    • Modern up-to-date technology
    • Auto connection
    • Auto on/off
    Cons
    • Difficult to set up and use
    • Poor build quality
    • Not suitable for commercial use

    10. NETVIP Bluetooth Hands-Free Speakerphone

    NETVIP

    Though marketed as a hands-free speakerphone, the NETVIP US-T826-LS1 device is a basic Bluetooth speaker that allows you to connect and operate your cell phone. It can support voice control via Siri and Google Assistant but does not use the latest version of Bluetooth software.

    We have some concerns about the quality of the materials used to build this device, as we have seen several reports from users stating that the outer casing around the plug point is very flimsy. Despite being fitted with a 3w speaker, which is more powerful than in many speakerphones, the sound from this speakerphone is relatively poor.

    If you are looking for a very cheap speakerphone that you will only ever use for making calls, this device may suit you.

    Pros
    • Inexpensive
    • Can support voice control
    Cons
    • Build quality
    • Sound – Volume and quality
    • Not suitable for playing music
    • Uses older Bluetooth software

    Buyer’s Guide – Choosing the Best Bluetooth Phone Car Speaker

    Build Quality

    As with many electronic devices, there is a significant difference in the quality and price of speakerphones. While it is possible to find a device online that is advertised with all the ‘bells and whistles’ for a very low price, you should remember that, as with most things, you will get what you pay for.

    Typically, speakerphones listed at bargain prices are of inferior quality and are likely to break or fall apart quite easily. They may also suffer from poor sound quality and other issues, such as background noise interference.

    Technology Updates

    You should also be aware that Bluetooth is not a new technology. Several devices have not been updated for many years, and if you think about how quickly technology changes, you may want to reconsider purchasing anything offering old technology. At the time of writing, Bluetooth 5.0 is the newest version available.

     Sound

    When purchasing a speakerphone, you should be aware that most devices on the market will advertise that they are suitable for playing music and listening to podcasts and audiobooks. While they will all allow you to do this, you should remember that speakerphones only contain tiny speakers, and the sound quality they produce will generally be quite poor. It is best to remember that the primary job of your speakerphone is to make hands-free calls, not replace your car stereo.
