Review on πŸ”‰ AV Access USB Speakerphone: Clear Full-Duplex Audio with 4 Mics Beamforming & 360Β° Voice Pickup - Perfect for Skype, Zoom, Teams Conference Calls by Tara May

Revainrating 4 out of 5

No-frills speakerphone ideal for teams and working from home

This speakerphone works pretty well even in a semi-open space (loft office with no door). A 4-mic array is a bit underpowered for a large team (you should probably go for a model with at least 6 or 8 mics), but it's fine for a single person. I purposely didn't buy the Bluetooth model because I only use it in my office and things like WiFi and battery operation only add to the instability. Setup on a Windows 10 PC is literally plug and play, no driver downloads required. After operating system detection, Microsoft Teams recognized it immediately. A really worthwhile purchase for the price. A couple of very minor downsides: 1. The speaker has a weird electronic/plastic smell. I wiped it down thoroughly with Lysol wipes and the smell was gone in a day or two. 2. The mute button only disables the speakerphone microphones, but is not synced with the Windows system settings. That means your audio can be muted or unmuted in two different places. Strangely, the volume buttons are synced with the system.3. The power button doesn't seem to do anything. Not that it matters, I'm just a bit OCD with useless buttons.

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
  • Low maintainability
