JabraSpeak 510 Speaker — Portable Bluetooth Speaker, Conference Speaker — Connects to Laptops, Smartphones and Tablets — USB Plug

I bought this for Skype meetings while working at home, finding wired headsets a bit too restrictive.It's a nicely built unit, feeling robust and whilst light, it has enough mass to avoid sliding around your desk, helped by the soft rubbery pad underneath. The USB cable (full size usb-a connector one end, permanently attached at the other) simply coils around the base, with no arresting mechanism to keep it fixed. Operation is simple and my W10 laptop had no difficulty recognising the device and configuring itself for use.Speaker quality is excellent, clear and loud enough to fill a small office. Voice quality is reportedly good, although some people have mentioned that I sound a touch echo-y.Touch controls all work perfectly and Bluetooth pairing to my phone was also straightforward, with sound quality as good as via the wired connection. It can still handle Bluetooth calls while wired to a laptop (provided it's not already in use).Only improvement I'd like to see is having the mute button illuminated when in use. The red LEDs around the speaker give a clear indication of when you're muted, but it can be tricky to spot the mute button itself when trying to unmute during a meeting - having an illuminated symbol to aim at would make this easier.I've only used it while wired into either my laptop or docking station for power, so can't comment on the battery life.Overall I'm very pleased and would certainly recommend to others.

Bought this to replace one I had to hand back to previous employer. This is newer, improved functionality including Bluetooth. Great sound and mic quality, as do a lot of Teams calls and perfect for that and conference calls. East set up.

Bought for work, used them in the past. Really good sound and works great with teams.

I've just started a new job and only spend 1 day a week in the office, so I needed a conference type speaker for when I'm in video meetings at home. A friend who was in a similar situation recommended this to me. He was right...it's a really good little unit.Personally, I think it's massively overpriced, but my company were paying so it wasn't a factor. If I was having to buy this myself, I'd certainly think twice about it (even if I already knew how good it was). I mean, almost £80 for a Bluetooth speaker/mic?There's no denying that the sound quality is excellent, and I never have issues where other people on my calls indicate that they can't hear me or that my audio is distorted in any way. It has a decent length USB cable for when it's being charged, and when it's in use the cable neatly wraps around the base. Once charged, the battery lasts me a several hours of audio...certainly long enough for an entire day of Zoom meetings.There are a couple of things I don't like about it...Around the rim are several touch buttons (i.e. not actual buttons) for volume control, hang-up call, etc., and MUTE is at the top (the 12 position on a clock), which I found a bit awkward to use and felt would be better placed at the bottom along with the other more important controls. The POWER button is at the bottom of the unit (clock position 6) but that doesn't get used anywhere near as often as MUTE, so my feeling is that the power and mute buttons would be better with their respective locations swapped.The other thing I don't like is the low volume. There are 12 possible volume increments but I have to have it on at least 7 to be able to hear things comfortably. Sometimes, depending on how much background noise there is (and I'm talking about ambient noise, not somebody drilling or planes taking off), I find myself needing to turn it up to at least 10. This might be an iOS issue because I'm using it with an iPad, the friend who recommended it to me is also using it with an Apple device and he too finds the volume to be low. Not really a deal breaker, but I'd have expected it to have more 'oomph' for the price.Overall, if you want a very good conference speaker/mic and the price isn't an issue, this should definitely be on your list.

Nice quality works well

Love this product - use a few of them in different places - idea for on the road online meetings where you don't want to use a headset

Simple plug and play USB use, compact and with added Bluetooth connectivity for phone/tablet etc. Bought for work meetings/conference calls and very pleased. Audio is great and mic pick up for remote users works well too. A great tool if, like me, you have regular calls around a meeting table with remote attendees. Well recommended.4-stars on battery as mostly used when plugged in so not tried max battery capability.

Having persevered with a headset for the first few months of lockdown I decided to get one of these based on a colleague's recommendation.The sound quality from the speaker is superb - the microphone possibly isn't as good as a boom microphone on a headset (slightly 'boxier' sound but I haven't experienced any feedback/echo, so it's fine) and for long calls I find it much easier than having a headset on. I have used it with Teams, Skype, Zoom and Webex without any issues and it is fine with my work laptop (and due to the restrictions imposed by the IT department, that's quite rare!) and my own laptop.The ability to use this via bluetooth with a phone or tablet as well as a wired connection is also very useful.The speaker comes with a small soft case - it doesn't offer a huge amount of protection, but it's fine for slipping into a briefcase or backpack and stops the speaker getting scratched.Highly recommended!
