Speak 750 MS Wireless Bluetooth Speakerphone with Link 370 USB Adapter – Portable Conference Speaker for Holding Meetings Anywhere with Premium Audio - Certified for Microsoft Teams

I have a reputation among friends, associates, family for doing a deep dive and researching the field when choosing new products. I like to understand the differences between products, state of the art, etc., and generally be an informed buyer. I've also been in "tech" for more than 35 years, with roles from hands on through CIO and CTO, so I've got a lot of experience researching and choosing products, whether for one person or thousands. In short: I tend to be a picky shopper. I researched the field here, and think I've found a winner. At this point in my career, I'm traveling weekly, and I'm meeting -- either in person or remote -- with numerous people each week. Conference calls are the norm, and may involve dozens of people, conference rooms with poor equipment, offices with dreadful 15 year old "speakerphones", hotel rooms, working from my home office, etc. One of the most frustrating experiences is trying to participate in a mission critical conference call when 1) I can barely hear or understand the folks at the other end, and 2) they can't hear and understand me unless I lean over a mic and raise my voice. Cell phone "speakerphones" may be acceptable in an emergency, but haven't proven adequate for routine use. I had recently research Bluetooth speakers for use primarily as audio / music listening speakers (for use, e.g., with Google Play Music from my phone). I researched and auditioned many: Bose, Cambridge, JBL, Shark, Amazon, Phillips, Anker, Jambox, etc. I narrowed it down to those with speakerphone capability, thinking I'd satisfy that need along with the media speaker requirement. After a LOT of research and live auditions, I settled on Nyne Bass, and couldn't be happier with it -- as a media speaker - truly amazing in all respects: sound is stunningly good - even outdoors, and both battery life and bluetooth handling are excellent. Unfortunately, it's only mediocre when turning a phone into a speakerphone, and often quite disappointing -- and I've tried out colleague's products like Jambox for the same purpose, and also found them disappointing. So -- I went on the hunt for a "real" business quality Bluetooth speakerphone. After much research, I homed in on Jabra, and the 510+ looked most promising after reading a LOT of reviews. Buying via Amazon Prime, I knew I had no risk, so I place the order -- and had the package on my desk about 36 hours later. Once again -- kudos to Amazon Prime and the vendors that work with Amazon in this program. The product is perfectly packaged, and beautifully made. It appears to be about 4.5" in diameter, and about 1.25" high when sitting flat on a desk or table. It is a gorgeous, professional grade piece of tech with excellent fit and finish and features. It comes with a neoprene zipper case, the USB cord wraps around the body and tucks into a groove that also holds the cable end in place. Incredibly well thought out and executed. This model can be connected to a phone or laptop via bluetooth, and to a laptop via USB cable. It doesn't come with its own charging brick, but the USB cable can charge from any standard 1A or higher brick. It takes a while for a full charge, but once charged, I can use it all day and into the night, and the charge is only partially depleted. Sound quality is absolutely spectacular for the purpose. I can place this on a table or desk in a room with a dozen people at distances from 3 ft to 15 ft or more, and they are all picked up and easily understand by people at the other end of the call. What comes out of the speaker is superb as well: I'm often on the receiving end of a conference call with two dozen people, all different sound environments and volume levels, and half a dozen international accents -- and this speaker yields clear audio rivaling $400 or $500 Polycom and Cisco equipment (no exaggeration). This is so good, in fact, that I've taken to turning it on when sitting in my office at my current client's site, and using it in favor of the brand new Cisco equipment installed there. It's a better experience. The controls around the perimeter are all touch controls -- no physical buttons to degrade, and they work perfectly. Power, answer / hang up, volume up/down, bluetooth (on/off/pair), mute, battery (to check battery charge level). There are a serious of LEDs around the perimeter of the speaker that are almost invisible when off, but light up as needed to indicate function, e.g., Bluetooth connected, power on, volume level and battery life (number of lights on out of ten around the perimeter), etc. Audio prompts walk you through pairing, connection status, etc -- and these can be turned on and off via preferences. The firmware is easily upgradeable via the USB cable and downloadable PC application. I haven't had need to use the app yet, but it provides deeper control over options and connection to services like Lync. This also provides support for soft phones: this "510+ MS edition" is optimized for Microsoft products like Lync -- the other 510+ is, I believe, aimed more at other soft phone products like Cisco. All in all: a beautifully designed, engineered and implemented product. Every now and then you trip across a gem that defines state of the art in its category - and I believe this qualifies. As you might guess, I'm delighted with this product.

**I really love this thing. So, one year later I decided to add some pictures for everyone as well. No one ever complains about my calls, even with multiple people in a large room walking around. It's also become a great portable music player when I travel and don't want to bring something else like a color soundlink. Not amazing HiFi, but to travel with an amazing, light speakerphone that can also play music is a plus. I've also used the usb stick a few times now on PC's that don't have bluetooth for skype calls and Zoom calls. Easy and without issues. This really is an amazing conference speakerphone. Speaker is loud and clear for it's size. Call quality is great. People can hear you fine if you are walking around a room and are 6 inches or 6 feet away. Battery is better than expected and lasts about 6-10 hours of talk time depending on whether or not I listen to music on it as well. I bought it for the office, but I find myself always taking it home with me if I'm remote for the day.

With the onslaught of COVID, my connection to the outside world is my Mobile Phone and Zoom. I have bought the Anker Bluetooth Conference Speaker Phone. There is no better product for $99. I bought the Beyer Dynamic Conference Speaker Phone, the quality is great, battery life is fair and there are some charging glitches. So now, let's talk about the Jabra 750. I work great. Easy to connect, easy to charge (I would replace the hard wired USB-A charging cord and replace with a USB-C port) and the Audio quality is excellent. The best (and very hidden feature) is for bigger rooms or just the the ability for 2 people in the same room to sit apart, you can easily (1 button) pair two Jabra 750's together. No feedback, no echo and perfect Audio. The battery life could be a bit better but it is easy to overlook. I am a retired (but active member) of the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) since I am 15 years old. CTA are the wonderful people that put on CES every year. I am not an engineer, I am a Consumer Electronic Sales and Marketing Professional. Full disclosure, I distributed Jabra thru 2007 but today, I have no current business ties to their brand or company. Jabra has always made great products and this one is a CHAMP!

This thing is great for the modern office worker and traveler. The audio is clearer and you can tap on/off for muting and speak less loudly than into a phone. It started working as soon as I plugged it in, no complex setup. The cord is a few feet long to put it on a desk or table wherever you’re working. Small enough to put in my backpack in a little zippered case it came with. Happy to have this when I’m working in a new space with complex AV setup and would rather just have a quick call with one or more other people joining me.

Bei der Auswahl habe ich mich tatsächlich auf die Rezensionen verlassen, und....., wurde nicht enttäuscht. Hervorragender und einfach zu bedienender Laut-/Freisprecher. Entweder über Bluetooth oder USB-Stecker.

nice piece of Conferencing kit, can link mobile for conference calls good sound qaulity

Détection automatique dans la plupart des applications de communication sous windows et linux, très bon son pour des conférences mais aussi pour écouter de la musique

Hello everyone, I was in the market to find the best device for my home office as i was quite tired of using the headset during MS teams calls. I have had a progression in the last 1 year or so going from a wired headset -> wireless headset -> bluetooth speaker and microphone and i pretty convinced that i will be sticking with my existing option. Really makes your life easy if you have your own space at home and privacy is not a concern. Before this purchase, i did research a lot about the available devices in the market and Anker PowerConf and Jabra Speak 510 were the most popular and i ended up trying out both and have decided to keep the Jabra Speak 510 based on my observations below. Both these devices were connected to my laptop via USB that made comparison consistent. Anker PowerConf (APC) vs Jabra Speak 510 (JS): 1. Speaker output and microphone: APC: Speaker output was great but microphone not so much and the voice varies as you move about in the room. It seem to adjust the volume levels that seem to be noticeable to the other user. I am not sure if the 6 omnidirectional mics are really helpful here. JS: Speaker output was great and microphone quality was noticeably superior and does not have any variations in noise levels. WINNER: Jabra Speak 510 2. Noise cancellation: APC: Noise cancellation is just OK as the users on the other end were able to hear pretty much everything in the background so it doesn't really work as advertised. JS: Noise cancellation is noticeable better and it does suppress the background noise slightly better. WINNER: Jabra Speak 510 3. Integration with MS Teams: APC: There is no existing integration with MS Teams and call/disconnect button does not work to pick up and drop off a call. So please keep this in mind if you looking to use it with MS Teams. It was a deal breaker function for me. The mute button however works. JS: Fully integrated with MS Teams and everything works as it should including the call and mute buttons. WINNER: Jabra Speak 510 4. Connections: APC: It connects to laptop via USB Type C which is great and bluetooth connection via version 5+ is also great. Another feature if you like to use is that Anker also acts as a battery back as well for devices. JS: It connects to laptop via the traditional USB Type A and bluetooth connection via version 5 is also great. WINNER: Anker PowerConf 5. Packaging: APC: The packaging is superb and really well presented. The carry bag is much better than that of Jabra's speak and does help in protecting the device in case of a fall as it is not a soft cloth bag. JS: The packaging is so so and the carry back is soft bag that does not provide adequate protection. WINNER: Anker PowerConf So in terms of technical performance, Jabra Speak 510 is much superior device and it's integration with MS Teams makes it a clear winner between the 2 devices. It's a keeper! :)

Just received during my webinar now, and opened the package and connected to my Jabra link 370 (in 2 seconds) and continued the call on the device (be aware that Jabra link 370 is not coming with this product, you need to buy seperately if you'd like to link multiple softphones thru the same connection - mine was purchased with Evolve 65 in the past). - Clear voice and no-feedback at all (tested in a multi-person call, but i am alone in my homeoffice, so i cannot simply comment on multi-person single room case) - Easy to start-up (plug&play), easy to connect-disconnect - Tested with both Zoom and Teams - both works fine (a bit of issue with Zoom while muting/unmuting though) - Full-charge in 2 hrs - good enough - Good receival of my voice from 2 meter (hasn't tried further distance) Absolutely recommended...
