5.0 out of 5 stars Phone lives up to Polycom reputation, May 31, 2007

I work from home on a regular basis and this product solved the problem of not having a good solution for conducting conference calls from my home office. As stated in the literature, it doesn't pick up past about 7 feet from the phone but I actually think that is a good thing since any possible background noise (i.e. dog barking in another room) doesn't come across the call and distract the participants. Great phone and great buy. Highly recommended for small conf table or home office use.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great speaker.... terrible Microphone, September 20, 2007

I've used the Polycom 300 for about 6 months now and my experience has been very mixed. The sound from the speaker is great. However, everyone I speak to with this phone complains that my voice sounds like I'm talking from inside a sea-shell or a tin can.

They have trouble hearing me and I find that I have to hold my head about 10 inches from the mic in order to be heard clearly. People hate talking to me when I'm on this phone.

Unlike the digital polycom units, this one doesn't have external microphone inputs... so there's really no way to remediate the poor sound with a better microphone.

It is what it is.

My recommendation would be to consider other products before this one - or at the very least, wait for the price to go way down.

I purchased a VoiceStation 300 for my home office in order to do business conference calls, and had to return it no more than 10 days later. People on the other end couldn't hear me unless I was inches away from the speakers, and my voice was constantly breaking up because the unit was picking up ambient noise from the heating system in the room. I was very disappointed in the performance of this product.
