Jess’ Totally Awesome GoJo Hands Free Review
I know I’ve been quiet for a bit letting other people review products, but I couldn’t pass this particular product up. I am beside myself because I’m able to write this GoJo Hands Free review. In fact, you might say that nothing has made me happier than the day when GoJo Hands Free headset came into my life. Ok, that’s a pretty bold statement, and it’s not 100% true, but so far in 2012, the GoJo Hands Free headset is pretty much the best thing I’ve ever seen.
Now, if I weren’t excited enough, I read the GoJo Hands Free review on CNET (awesome), and my co-workers and I have talked about the commercial here A LOT, mainly because Joe puts an old school MacBook on his GoJo Hands Free headset and wears it. ON HIS HEAD. But I was interested for a different reason.
I have a certain brand of smartphone, one that may or may not start with a lowercase letter “i,” and I have had the hardest time trying to get a headset that works well with it. Using it with Bluetooth on my GPS isn’t great – I can hear my friends, but they don’t hear me well. Using it with the headphones+microphone that come with it doesn’t work well because they get tangled and also wear out, plus – you have to plug it in. I can’t (or don’t want to) say how many times I’ve answered my phone yelling, “I’M HERE! I’M HERE! HOLD ON! I’M ALMOST THERE! JUST. GOT. TO. PLUG. IN. THIS. Okay, here I am, hello.”
Yes, that is exactly what happens.
But with GoJo Hands Free, using the headset is actually as easy as Joe says it is. He is on point with the “one Mississippi” claim. Admittedly, putting the GoJo Hands Free headset on is not easy to do while driving, and I do not advocate doing so. If you’re in the car, and you need to call someone, please wait until you are stopped before you put the GoJo™ Hands Free on your head. I made that mistake one time and thought it was curtains for the Jess-meister.
I know what you all are wondering. How silly does Jess look wearing this? Answer: Pretty silly. The GoJo Hands Free headset is not something I predict will become a fashion trend. Personally, I could really care less if I look silly or not. If using the GoJo Hands Free headset means that I don’t have to hold my phone and can hear the caller on the other end of the line without tangled cords and microphones that pick up the sound of my car’s air vents, then I’m all about it.
Seriously, my best friend once thought I was caught in a windstorm, and I only had my vents blowing at 2 out of 4.
Quality is key for me, and the suction cup on my GoJo Hands Free headset is fantastic. I’ve used it in both cold and moderate temperatures, and it has held my phone perfectly. The headset itself also adjusts to fit head sizes and phone sizes.
Fine Print Font Size Rating – 12 pt: You will get FOUR GoJo Hands Free headsets as well as glossy round stickers to put on your phone in case your phone does not stick to the suction cup (my phone case is glossy, so I didn’t have that problem). You should give the other ones to friends who drive and talk while holding their phones. I use mine every day, and I bet your super chatty friends will, too.
Always selling sincerely,
Jess

Hi, I'm Amy and our team here at Top TV Stuff is committed to bringing you awesome offers on that must-have gadget or thing-a-ma-jig you saw on TV!
This product sucks. It wouldn’t even hold up my phone receiver at work and immediately broke. I don’t believe it could hold up a macbook. I’m returning mine asap.
Joan, that stinks. I’m really sorry to hear that you didn’t have as great an experience as I did. Mine still works great – I’ve used it almost every day since I got it to hold my cell phone if I need to talk while I drive. I didn’t try the stickers that help attach the GoJo Hands Free headset to a phone without a glossy finish, so I can’t report on how well those work. I also didn’t try it on a MacBook like the one in the commercial, mainly because I don’t own one!
I also thought I’d broken mine a couple of times, but it was just a “snap” sound, not an actual break. That said, I hope you find a hands-free solution that works better for you!
I bought this recently and I should have checked reviews and paid better attention to the whole thing. This does work on my iphone BUT I have the LIFEPROOF case on it and had to put that sticky thing on the back. It is hard to find when I am putting the headset on, you have to connect the dots pretty closely. I got another set for my husband who has a military style case on it and it did not work on his at all, and the sticky thing wouldn’t even stick either. (bummer).
I will pass the other 2 onto friends who can use it or my kids.
the other product I also ordered from that company is the POCKET CHAIR. I thought it would be a handy item to have when we go our 4x4ing in our Sauauri. Well…. I finally got the thing together now I can’t unhook it. I wish I never bought it!!!
Thanks for your honest perspective, Robbie. I tried using the suction cup with the sticker, and I found that the suction cup does work best when it’s lined up with the center of the dot, too. Maybe you could attach it when you first get in your car? I always attach mine to the back of the phone before I even get on the road so it’s ready to go if someone calls me, or I need to make a call.
Sorry to hear about your permanent Pocket Chair. I had to muscle mine the first couple of times I opened it up and took it down, but I did get it to unhook. Enjoy your 4x4ing – that sounds fun! And thanks again for commenting!
Suck it.
Good morning Hey,
If by “suck” you mean the GoJo Hands Free headset’s powerful suction cup and “it” as the back of my cell phone, then yes! So true. Thanks for the brief review and for stopping by!
Hey again, Hey,
I saw you posted a couple more comments that I can’t publish due to inappropriate language/name calling (gotta keep it clean for the kids). While I had a good experience with this product, I’m getting the impression that you didn’t, and that really does suck. I don’t make/distribute the products I review, but you can contact customer service directly:

Hiya HEY,
That’s a really great song.

LOL. You’re funny, Jess. Poor, Hey. He/she must be so miserable. Well handled. Oh, and thanks for the review. Have a great day!
Many thanks for your kind comment, Giggling! And I am having a great day – same to you!
I just recieved the 4 headsets and they are sooo cheap! 1st time i tried it on it snapped in two! Then my adult daughter tried it on her phone and it too snapped in half while putting it on. I would not recommend this to anyone and hope i can get my money back.
I’m sorry, Patty. I’m sad yours didn’t work out. I’ve posted the information for their customer service above, and I hope you get it all sorted out.
I ordered one set over the phone on March 8 and received 9 on March 16. I was all excited about trying one out and when I attached the phone and put it on my head, it broke! I tried another one and it broke within seconds, also. The curved part that rests against my head was Soooo uncomfortable. It dug in and gave me a headache. Then I noticed it was “made in China”. I then called my credit card company to see how much they ripped me off for these other 6 that I did not order and they charged me $48.80. I was ticked!!! I’m returning the junk and they are going to be disputing the charges. If they would perfect the cheap plastic where it adjusts so it wouldn’t break and the part that digs into your skull, it would be a good product. I ended up making my own from a plastic head band and screwed on a suction cup which ended up to be MUCH more durable and comfortable on my head.
Hi Carol – I can understand why you’d be ticked if you got charged for something you didn’t order, and I’m really happy you were able to make your own solution for hands free cell phone usage. I haven’t gotten a headache from using mine, but I have had to find the right spot where it doesn’t overlap my sunglasses (I have to at least TRY to look cool). Hope everything works out with customer service!
They might be ok but I sure wouldn’t want 4 of them.
I think the “GO JO” would give you a headache if the fit that tight.
This product is only safe for home or office use only. You have to answer your cell first then attach it and then finally put it on your head so explain to me how this is safe for driving.. It puts you and other drivers or pedestrians in danger if using it while driving.. Sorry for bluntness but it’s the truth just from watching the commercial on it. This product in no way is better then a Bluetooth device of any kind.
