The CB Radios Channel

Cobra recently released a new Bluetooth enabled model of their highly successful line of Cobra 29 CB radios.  Designed with the professional driver in mind, The Cobra 29 Bluetooth model’s biggest selling point is the ability to make and receive cell phone calls through the CB radio.  When used with a Bluetooth compatible phone, incoming calls can be re-routed through the CB radio by simply clicking a button on the microphone.  Once connected, the entire phone conversation can be conducted through the radio with the CB microphone used to talk and the incoming voice being broadcasted through the radio’s speaker, making it easier for the driver to focus on the road.  Apart from its Bluetooth capabilities, the new Cobra CB model also includes a number of other popular features including talkback, RF Gain, PA functionality and a noise canceling microphone.

The radio, which retails for $189.99, is priced at a $70 premium to the base Cobra 29 LTD which is a nearly identical radio without the Bluetooth functionality.  If you spend a lot of time on the phone while driving, this Bluetooth model from Cobra may be extremely attractive.  However, if you’re not much of a talker, you would probably fare better saving the approximate $70 and going with the base model, or spending the difference to upgrade to the Nightwatch or Weather Cobra 29 models.
