Review on Polycom 2200 07880 160 SoundStation 2W Non Expandable by Patricia Reed

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Use in a medium-sized conference room

Item is fine. We're a small organization and it pretty much does what it says on the tin and is pretty easy to use. I like that you can connect a cell phone to it. The WiFi function is very good. (Oddly, it doesn't have a switch, which means it can't charge and stay on whenever you want. You have to leave it on standby, which drains the battery for 2-3 days. That means there isn't one effect other than leaving it charged all the time. Not a big deal but it's better to have a simple on/off switch). I didn't find the mics as responsive as I expected. In a group of more than 2-3 people, if they are seated comfortably around the table, it is necessary to approach the microphone when speaking so that you can be understood well. It's not that loud, even at full volume. It seems strange - the presence of a powerful amplifier seems like an obvious feature. For the price I expected a little more. Yes, better than a regular speaker, but not much better.

Pros
  • Hands-free calling
Cons
  • Some small things
