5.0 out of 5 stars Best speakerphone I have found, September 12, 2009

I work from home quite often and have been searching for a speakerphone so that I can participate in conference calls from my home office and have it not be like I was calling from another planet. Most of the less expensive speakerphones I tried either I could barely make out what was being said on the call, or when the mic wasn't muted, the audio would cut in and out. This phone is expensive, but I feel to me it was worth it. Audio quality is great, and I can easily hear what is going on on the conference call.

HI All.

This was purchased for a home office where there was a need for a regular amount of conference calls. The home office is on the noisy side with a regular amount of activity in the background. Headsets, to me, are cumbersome and thus I finally decided to invest in the Polycom.

Setup is fairly easy...its like plugging in a regular land line telephone.

Using this model is also easy because it has the display that shows you what you are dialing, etc. There is a lower cost model available that does not have the display...but I highly recommend the extra cost because the display makes it all the much better.

When initially installed I ran about 5-10 tests with various people and at various times of the day due to the different amounts of background noise.

I can say that all tests said that they could hear me clearly and that it sounded just like a regular phone call. Polycom has some of the best noise canceling features in the business and those exact features are in this device. Most of these STAR conference phones are found in corporate environments...but this one is perfect for small office/home office use.

Keep in mind...Polycom is the sole manufacturer of devices like this...even if they are branded by other companies such as Cisco..etc.

Excellent product, worthy of 5 Stars...

The Polycom brand is know for its excellence for business, and this item doesn't disappoint. In short, it's worth every penny. We needed the features of a business conference phone including extraordinary sound clarity, both at the receiver and microphone. The speaker delivers tone depth that can't be found on consumer-grade speakerphones, allowing a more natural sounding conversation. The microphone reaches across large conference table, serving as many as an 8 without any difficulty at all. It also dampens the echo acoustics of large, open room. Its really easy to install too--just plug it into any regular phone jack--just make sure you have a power outlet near the same jack or you'll be running extra cords across the floor. This is a great stand-alone device; you can opt for the expandable version if you wish to add outboard microphones. You could also save a bit of money if you get the version without the helpful LCD screen.
