What's more, if using it on the go you can be sure the 12 hour battery life will last you through the longest days of meetings. If meetings do go on even longer, you have the option of charging directly from your laptop whilst simultaneously using the speaker.

For all meeting participants to not only feel heard, but also listened to, the Speak2 range is engineered to go beyond standard speakerphone performance, providing full duplex audio. This speakerphone allows users who are talking simultaneously to conduct much more natural two-way dialogues, as though each speaker was there in person, without disrupting conversation flow. In addition, this speakerphone includes an advanced full range 65mm speaker, offering a dramatically more powerful audio experience and ultimately resulting in much more efficient and productive meetings. Compact speakerphones full of productivity-boosting tech The speaker comes in a few different color options and has touch controls on the top along with LED lights that indicate whether you're connected via Bluetooth, on a call and whether your microphone is muted. You can also connect directly to your computer with the included USB-C cable -- the speaker charges via USB-C -- and a USB-C to USB-A adapter is included (you can store it in a slot in the base of the speaker, where you'll also find a threaded tripod mount). Battery life is rated at up to 20 hours, and a 10-minute charge gives you two hours of juice. The speaker is splash-proof and dust-resistant with an IP64 rating. The speaker drivers remain the same as those in the previous model, but the Qualcomm chipset that powers the speaker has been upgraded (the speaker uses Bluetooth 5.1), bumping the sound quality up a tad, particularly at higher volumes, with better digital signal processing. It remains one of the best-sounding mini Bluetooth speakers, with richer more tonally balanced sound than other Bluetooth speakers its size -- and it should sound good, considering its elevated price point..

I like how Jabra has redesigned the new models, giving them a sleeker, cleaner look, and all the models include an integrated USB-C cable with a USB-A adapter that allows you to plug the speaker directly into a Mac or Windows PC. The relatively compact Speak2 55 comes with a nice felt carrying case and is fairly lightweight, weighing in at 280 grams (9.88 ounces), making it easy to slip into a bag and carry around for conference calls on the go. While it offers Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity, it doesn't come with a USB Bluetooth dongle to plug into your PC for more reliable wireless connectivity with computers. Finally, each Speak2 product is designed to work withall leading virtual meeting platforms, meaning users can participate confidently in calls and meetings from any location, without the worry of poor audio quality or connectivity issues. All of Jabra's Speak2 products feature IP64-rated protection from dust and water, keeping durability at the forefront. We are incredibly impressed with the Speak2 55. The design is far sleeker compared to the original Speak range, however the real difference comes in the sound performance. A true upgrade with a host of cutting edge features coupled with the versatility to perfectly suit a small conference room or a home office.

Hybrid work has shifted the way we meet, with 80% of all meetings now being either fully remote or hybrid*. The new Speak2 range is engineered specifically to meet the need for an intelligent speaker that is built to handle anything a busy hybrid working day throws at you – from conference meetings and direct calls, to streaming media, presentations and more.

Designed to work with all leading virtual meeting platforms, like Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and Zoom Als je geen Microsoft Teams als UC-client gebruikt, raden we aan de standaard UC-variant te nemen, die voor de belangrijkste UC-platforms is gecertificeerd, zoals Google Meet, Zoom, en dergelijke.

The boxing for the Jabra Speak2 55 is artfully simple. A small but sturdy cardboard box sourced from sustainable sources with no soft plastic to be found. The device is safely nestled in a fabric pouch and is completely self contained. There has clearly been a lot of thought put into the environmental impact and design aesthetic of the boxing that I deeply appreciate. I would probably like to be able to toggle the noise cancellation function on and off to use it to record sound. However, it is a beautiful device that is perfectly fit for the purpose of its design. It's unclear if you need the dongle because the speaker has an integrated USB-A or -C cord to plug directly into a computer and charge the device, but the dongle makes for easier pairing. In addition, this speakerphone includes an advanced full range 65mm speaker, offering a dramatically more powerful audio experience and ultimately resulting in much more efficient and productive meetings.
