Good enough for phones and accessories

With everyone working from home, teleconferencing equipment is becoming more and more important in my daily life. Although my company has provided me with business class headsets, wearing them 8-10 hours a day makes my ears hot and uncomfortable. In search of the perfect speakerphones, I tested eMeet Luna, Jabra 510 and Anker Powerconf S3. I used each of the speakers as a daily driver for my conference calls, recording the same audio clips with each system and playing them back with high-quality headphones. Here is my overall impression of the Anker PowerConf S3. Anker PowerConf S3. Firmware updated from April 2021. Good. Very reasonable voice quality. Voice recording is a little less rich than the Jabra. USB-C charging. Excellent battery life. team) Can be quite noisy Simultaneous USB-C and Bluetooth connection Anker allows firmware updates via its Android/Apple app. in Android/Apple apps is confusing and doesn't seem to matter much. Overall, I rate the quality of the Anker mic a little lower than Jabra, but higher than eMeet Luna. Noise cancellation is also better on the Jabra, but the difference is small. What I love about the Anker is its USB-C charging and it can act as a spare battery in a pinch. Jabra's Achilles' heel is speaker volume. Even at maximum volume, I sometimes have trouble hearing in noisy environments. I ended up leaving the Luna and giving it to my son who is in college and now I use Anchor for all my meetings.

Pros
