The sound quality was good, much more so than from some single speaker devices. For this use, the MFB was basically useless, not acting as a pause/play button as we would have expected. Using the Coda One for music playback, it sat conveniently on its side, speakers facing towards the room. The Coda One seemed less prone to the audio cut-outs that happen with some frequency when using the iPhone as a handset. When the other party complained about the call quality, we switched to the Coda One, improving the call quality on both ends. As one example, we initiated a call using an iPhone 5.
The most unique thing about the Coda One is that its design resembles a handset, making it a much better design than a typical smartphone for actually making phone calls. When switched on, the Coda One flashes its Bluetooth connection light, and speaks out loud that it is searching for a paired phone, then announces it has paired with a phone once it finds one.
CODA 2 REVIEW MANUAL
The user manual says the Coda One will require a PIN when paired with a smartphone, by default set to 0000, but the iPhone we paired it with did not ask for a PIN.
With an iPhone paired, holding down the MFB launched Siri, opening up the ability to use the phone's voice command for making calls.
The MFB lets you answer or hang up a call, and the mode button lets you switch the audio from the device to the phone. However, compared to the highly-rated Parrot Minikit Neo, the Coda One's phone features cover only the basics. Supporting Bluetooth version 3.0, the Coda One works as a hands-free phone speaker and offers A2DP for audio streaming.
