JabraSpeak 410 Corded Speakerphone for Softphones – Easy Setup, Portable USB Speaker for Holding Meetings Anywhere with Outstanding Sound Quality

I like jabra. Jabra has nice and useful speaker

Works great. Blick surrounding sounds

I spend way too much time on conference calls, Zoom meetings and the like, and until now it has often been a problem hearing clearly what other people were saying, an issue not helped because I am hearing impaired.Jabra Speak has changed all that. I can now hear people very clearly because Jabra cuts out background noises and focuses on whoever is speaking. Even if someone has a poor mic, Jabra manages to deliver clear, crisp sound. People also tell me that they can hear me much more clearly.On top of that, Jabra is literally plug and play (with nothing else to do). It is small enough to be very portable and the volume is great considering its size. Only wish I had bought this a long time ago.

This and the newer model Jabra Speak510 (which I use at work) made a world of a difference for business communication via Lync to South America and India, notoriously bad with regular phone lines.The 410 and 510 models have a very effective sound processor built in that filters human voice with perfect clarity, provided your internet connection is fine, and your partner abroad uses the same or a similar device. Even calling via Lync to regular telephone numbers changes the call from a strained, hole-riddled conversation to a decent communication.I rarely rave about a product, but this is way better than even the Jabra Headset I have at work, which allegedly has a sound processor as well. I could no longer imagine my weekly TCONs without it (had the 510 for more than 1 year now).Both models have mute button, volume control, accept and hang-up buttons. The mute function triggers a ring of many red LED dots along the outer edge so you can not mistakenly believe to be off air while blabbering obscenities (if so disposed) . Three green LEDs on one side of the device indicate that the microphone is live. Both models have a 3.5mm, 3-channel headset jack. The speaker is perfect for TCON with 6 people in the room, fine for 8-10, and just enough for even more. I have used it with a team of 15 and the other side checked only occasionally to repeat a comment.The only difference between the two models is that the 510 is able to connect via bluetooth. If you are planning to use it exclusively with your laptop, connected via the USB cable, you can easily use the 410.I would expect this to be as useful for Skype connections.If mine broke, I would buy it again in a flash. I have traveled a lot with my 510, and always carry it in the front pocket of my backpack. I have not used it very gently and it now has a dent in the speaker grille, but works just fine.The device comes with a soft pouch, the USB cable snugly rolls into the groove between upper and lower edge of the UFO shaped loudspeaker. Overall someone has done a fantastic job of thinking first and developing after.

The sound is not as loud as I was expecting it to be

I am in a lot of virtual meetings and was tired of wiring headphones all day, every day. Microphone quality matters to me, only so that those I'm meeting with can always hear me well. The Jabra 410 does a good job of picking up my voice and blocking out some other noises. Those that I meet with state that they can hear me clearly and the speaker is sufficient in doing exactly what you need from it.I'm not sure if my only "complaint" is fair as I haven't tried other setups like this to see if there are any better, but occasionally coworkers will note that they can hear my dog bark (which is on a different floor). To be fair, my dog is quite loud but with it being on a different floor and muffled, I would hope something like this would be able block out that type of noise. So for the reason, I still have headphones that I use for more important meetings that blocking out background noise matters more.All that said, it's enough of a problem for me to knock anything off the score as I like it for everything else I use it for.

My husband ordered this for me and I love it. I am frequently on Zoom calls, and have had difficulty with previous products in that they either had poor input and/or output. This speakerphone plugged directly into my Mac, and instantly worked perfectly for both in and out volume and pickup.Very reasonably priced and I would definitely recommend it.

I absolutely love this Jabra speaker. I work from home and usually have to wear a headset and throughout the years the headset is causing some hearing loss and I was talking extremely loud because I was used to wearing the headphones. This speaker is awesome! I can take calls on it with no problems. Everyone can hear me clearly and I can hear them clearly. There’s a mute button, volume buttons and a few other buttons that I haven’t used but this thing really is saving my hearing. Using headsets there are loud noises in your ears that overtime can cause hearing loss so this product is the best thing I ever spent money on. Plus you’re not stuck sitting in one position because you have to worry about your wired headphones or your wireless headphones are in range.
