Jabra Speak 510 UC Wireless Bluetooth Speakerphone – Outstanding Sound Quality, Portable Conference Speaker for Holding Meetings Anywhere - Certified for Zoom & Google Meet

I was told a year or so ago that this Jabra was a good device... I had spent several weeks working remotely in Europe and after spending hours on the phone with ear buds... then with over-the-ear headphones that had an integrated microphone... and feeling like my ears were full of hot sweat and realizing that no matter how comfortable something feels at first... after hours even a soft pillow can start to hurt, I felt like there had to be something better. I quickly forgot about the Jabra devices until I was again at a meeting in a hotel without a speakerphone. We had to dial someone in and the connection was terrible. People had to lean over the phone and shout directly at the thing just to make themselves heard.Anyway... flash forward a few months and I happen to be a in room with our IT group. One of the guys was zipping this thing up into the little case and it reminded me that I should check it out. I decided to go ahead and order one.All I can say is WOW!! This thing connects to my iPhone 6s Plus with no problems whatsoever. I have also used it at work to connect directly with the USB cable for use with computer audio. One thing I have found is that the computer audio itself is usually the weak link. I have used some services in the past (Lync) and had little problems... others (GoTo something...) have had bigger problems. This has had nothing to do with the speaker.I am once again in Europe and have used this thing for approximately 40 hours of teleconferences back to the states. The call quality is pure and crisp and plenty loud for me working at my little home-away-from-home desk. The battery life is tremendous. I have only plugged it into charge a couple of time and neither time was the thing even half-way drained. I know that the answer/hang-up buttons only work with real phone calls. I have been using Skype to dial real numbers. I don't think it is a limitation of the device so much as a limitation of Skype and bluetooth perhaps. I don't even find it to be a nuisance because the ability to have a clear and crisp conference call with a speakerphone like this is really just fantastic. It is now going with me on every single work trip. I even bought one for my spouse.I can honestly say that if you are going to be working remotely (out of the country)... then your go-bag should have this device... a phone with international data for Skype (T-mobile has a great plan these days... unlimited data in 140 countries included with a regular plan)... and perhaps a Skype calling plan (unlimited calls back to the US for 3 months). If you toss in a small keyboard and perhaps a USB-powered monitor... you basically can have an office anywhere in the world that is fully functional and doesn't give you head or ear aches.This thing is a winner for me... it has been exhaustively tested...I don't write a lot of Amazon reviews, but this thing is really that good and worth my time writing up.Only real downside? The case that comes with it is a tiny bit snug. It works just fine... I had to search to find a gripe.Now I need to prep for 7 hours of calls coming up in 30 minutes!

I got it today for use with Microsoft Teams in a small conference room at work. This thing is tiny, much smaller than I expected: it fits into the palm of my hand. It has a bluetooth connection capability (but it does not come with a special dongle, like my Jabra headset), and also USB connectivity (via the permanently connected to the unit USB cable). I plugged it into Dell docking station, and now we can connect our laptops to the speaker by just plugging in the USB-C cable from the docking station. This cable via docking station provides power to the laptop, feeds video to the TV via HDMI cable, and feeds audio to the Jabra Speak via USB. The sound is surprisingly good - the quality is great, and it is loud enough for the team. While it is nominally rated for 4 people, I found that mike is good enough to pick up sound from people around a larger table, which can sit up to 8 people. Connection to MS Teams as audio established automatically, one did not even need to switch the audio to Jabra Meet in the list. Sound quality on the other end was also better than expected. The only annoying thing is that every time you turn the unit on, it gives recorded instructions to connect to bluetooth - which is totally unnecessary as we do not play to use the bluetooth functionality, and this announcement is very annoying as it is repeated over and over again. I guess, the only way to deal with it is to keep it plugged into the docking station and never turn it off. Overall, a really nice gadget.Please be aware that when you buy on Amazon, the gadget can be sold by Amazon.com or any other business or individual doing merchant business through Amazon. At the time of this writing, there are 3 businesses who are not authorized dealers offering the same unit along with Amazon.com as a seller! You as a customer may pick from whom you want to buy. Jabra is very specific on their web site that warranty support will only be provided to original owners of units bought from authorized resellers. Amazon.com is one of them, but many third party vendors (with names you never heard) who are selling through Amazon are not. Jabra even maintains a list of non-authorized vendors, and they say they sell either grey market products or refurbished units, as they cannot get what they sell directly from Jabra! An option to buy a unit sold directly by Amazon can cost a few dollars more, but it is the only one that comes with warranty!
