Jabra Speak 710 Speaker Phone - Unified Communications Certified Portable Conference Speaker With Bluetooth Adapter And USB - Connect With Laptops, Smartphones And Tablets, Retail Pack

I used one of these previously and I was so impressed I bought one for working during lock down. However when I sent away for mine it was the wrong model so had to return it. Nothing wrong with the item but ended up with the wrong model. When you do get the right model you’ll find it has a very cool bluethooth connection that is great sound quality and the device itself has a great battery life. If it is flat then there is a USB cable which does a great job as well and to be honest was the way i used it back in the day. If you have the cash and fed up of using headsets or if there are 3 or 4 of you then this is the way to go.

Works really well as an alternative to a headset. Sound quality and mic input quality excellent. Even comes with a little carry pouch.

My had been using one from work while working from home, couldn’t bear to be without it so he bought himself one! Great sound quality, nice and sturdy, the kick back is a great feature to stand up anywhere. Bit pricey but seems worth it. Comes with zipped cover.

Good conf call speaker, have used it with my phone, Zoom & Teams via Bluetooth on my Mac, mic quality is OK when using the phone or a standard Bluetooth connection but is you use the supplied USB Bluetooth adapter then it gets much better, obv this can only be used on a PC or a Mac. Overall a really useful device for these days of home working.

Needed to get something flexible to deliver audio into a large hall and easy communicationn to the virtual participants of the meeting. This worked a treat. Going to purchase a second so I can daisy chain the two and cover the whole room with ease.

I've tried loads of different speakers but nothing designed specifically for conference calls and this Jabra Speak 710 seems to well-reviewed.The main difference between this and standard Bluetooth speakers is the audio. It's basically been tuned to elevate mid-range frequencies to optimize voices, and it does that very well - voice clarity is amazing! Jabra says this is also ideal for music, but I have to disagree. To my ears, it lacks the punch and depth required for music. Even my little ANKER Soundcore Mini is better for music than this. It is, however, brilliant for listening to audiobooks.The other difference is obviously the 360-degree omnidirectional microphone which also works fantastic - much better than a standard microphone. It is clear and picks up voices as far as 3 meters away. It's designed to work with up to 6 people, but realistically, it can work with as many people as you want as long as they're within 3 meters of the speaker. For bigger tables, I would recommend two of these speakers (paired).This can be connected to any device that supports Bluetooth. For computers lacking Bluetooth, you can use the USB Bluetooth dongle located in the base of the speaker.Unlike some Bluetooth speakers, this has all the buttons built-in to the actual speaker so you can control it without needing to touch the source device.Battery life is estimated to be around 15 hours which seems about right.Price-wise, it's not particularly great value, but given the fact it sounds and functions perfectly for conference calling, it's difficult not to buy one. Just stick a couple through the business. ;)

The Jabra Speak 710.As soon as you unpack the speaker and hold it you know you have a quality product. Not only that but this device is truly plug and play.It will take around 3 hours to fully charge the speaker and you will get around 15 hours of untethered talk time. The charging cable is built in and wrapped around the edge, the good news being that the cable is a metre long, 100cm or if you still go imperial, 39 inches. When not in use it powers down after 15 minutes and it can apparently be left on standby for over 400 days.It will cover a meeting for up to six people.There is a built-in stand and the bluetooth adaptor is held in its own little slot on the back.When you switch the device on the black outer ring explodes into life, to show you touch sensitive icons. A battery indicator, volume controls, bluetooth icon for connecting and answer and end call telephone icons. There is also a link icon and one for voice assist and smart dialling.It takes seconds to pair your device and it is as easy as 1-2-3. I have my MacBook as a Softphone connected through the USB link and on my Smartphone with Bluetooth for speed dial.Download the connection software and you can customise certain aspects of the device, just visit the Jabra website.You will be pleased to know that the device is compatible with most office platforms and if you have something a little less known it will still work on audio.It is portable, but if you have two you can combine them and have a set of stereo speakers.Sound quality on calls is clear, crisp and sharp, for music it is a little too clean, but the speaker is designed for voice calls first and it excels. It is great for talking books too.It is also a seriously cool design, lay it flat on the table and the omni-directional microphone will pick up sounds with excellent clarity. It has a 10W output so is sufficiently loud and range on wireless depends on your environment but is around 30m or 100ft.For personal use you can pair up to 8 devices.Its not cheap but you get what you pay for with this Jabra Speak 710 and that’s quality. With a two year warranty, a protective neoprene case and free software updates what’s not to like?
