Review: Iqua Snake 2

The need for safer in-car communications is increasing proportionally with the number of accidents (and stupid laws!), and it’s always a good idea to use some kind of handsfree system to answer calls while driving. There are many alternatives for this including wired headsets, Bluetooth headsets, or car stereo systems, but their practicality is hampered by one limitation or the other. Wired headsets are limited by the cable running from the phone to your ear, and no one likes to wear the earphone for a long time. Bluetooth headsets too cause inconvenience after using for a long period. Car stereo systems fail on delivering the much needed privacy.

In order to overcome few of these issues, the Finnish communications company Iqua developed the Snake 2 Bluetooth Headrest Handsfree system. The Snake 2 attaches to the headrest in your car and improves on its predecessor, terms of design and aesthetics. Before we go any further with the review, here’s a little history to boot.
