AnkerConference Speaker, Speaker PowerConf S3, Conference Microphone with 6 Mics, Enhanced Voice Pickup, 24H Call Time, App Control, USB C, Compatible with Unified Communications Platforms

I was looking for a desktop conference speaker as it was tiring wearing headphones for work.I have had the odd issue in MS Teams when the mic doesn't appear to work but that's over a VPN connection so I'm not sure if this could occasionally cause an issue and, in any case, a quick restart usually resolves this. Excellent for hand-free phone use. Can easily hear the other person and they report hearing me very clearly, even when I'm walking about.Generally seems to work fine in Zoom and MS Teams.I wish I had bought this sooner as it's so handy for hands-free phone use - btw connected to Android phone.Recommended. Thanks.

Easy to use with excellent speaker and microphone quality.

For the most part this works great, I've used it with MS Teams on my laptop and Zoom, FB Messenger and regular old calls on my phone. It can even connect to my laptop and my phone simultaneously. Sound quality is good for calls but not quite rounded enough for me for music - but I only got it for calls anyway. The only problems I found with it are that it doesn't seem to like 2 people talking from different angles and different distances on FB Messenger calls. My wife and I tried to use it for talking to family and the first time it struggled picking her voice up but would pick my voice up ok. I had updated the firmware already and set the speaker to 'conference mode'. We're both normally softly spoken but I was directly in front of it about a metre away and she was to the side of it about 1.5 metres away. Since then I have tried more experimentation and it seems to work best when it's on a hard surface, you're close to it, roughly equidistant and you make an effort to speak clearly, but she still struggles with it and doesn't like it overall. The only other minor issue I found was the mute button doesn't sync up with MS Teams so there is the opportunity to double-mute yourself, but I only tend to use one anyway.Other than those things I think it is good overall and makes a useful addition to my office bag.

Great product, connects well and is clear in its sound. Mute button good feature, easy to hit!

Superb product for online meetings for the home office. Works really well and is travel friendly.

I use this primarily for work calls, mainly video calls, but also phone calls. I like that I can have it connected to my computer by USB and also paired with my phone over Bluetooth.Unlike some other devices sporting a single omni directional microphone and claiming 360 degrees, this has six microphones and then light up when activated so I'm fairly sure it would work well on a medium size table with several people around.Sound quality from the speaker is good and the recorded sound is clear and at a good volume even from about 2ft away which is the best place on my desk for it.It's rechargeable but I haven't used it away from my desk so I can't comment on battery life.

I bought this as I was sick of wearing a headset all day every day on never-ending meetings, so my review is written based on one person using this on a desk.Pros:- The speaker is decent quality and I can always hear others clearly- On Teams and Zoom the microphone works well, with others being able to hear me clearly- It does eliminate fatigue from wearing a headset all day- Fairly small size and works well on a compact desk- Decent battery life - does live up to its claim when working over bluetoothCons:- The mute button does not control the apps; it only mutes the mic separately. This can cause confusion, or a delay in unmuting with mouse/keyboard. It also means that the "answer phone / hang up" button on the speaker is useless- The mic is virtually unusable with Skype - something with how that program interfaces means I do not come through clearly on that program alone (noise gate maybe?)- The volume is always sat at one notch above minimum; sometimes I would sooner it were quieter but the precision of adjustment is not enoughAll in all, for the price I was hoping for more. If I were to have the opportunity again I'd either pick up a Jabra with app-integration, or just buy a desktop mic for less money and use laptop speakers.

For the price it is a good conference speaker. I have it attached to my laptop dock via the USB cable. For Teams meetings (which most of mine are) it works really well. You will need the latest firmware update (via the mobile app) to get the Teams integration. Sadly there is no integration with Zoom which is really disappointing. The only other issue I have found is that the speaker is paired to my mobile via Bluetooth but also connected to my laptop via USB at the same time. If the USB is connected the speaker cannot seem to handle two devices and switch between the two. If I get a call on my mobile, or try to listen to music there is no sound until I disconnect the USB lead from the speaker. I have now unpaired the speaker from my phone. I am hoping that maybe both these issues will be fixed by a future firmware update, at which time I would happily give 5 stars.
