With so many Poly solutions certified by Microsoft Teams, it’s not always easy to make a decision about which device is best suited to you. We took this opportunity to breakdown some of the key benefits of using a portable speakerphone for your remote collaboration needs.

Still, the overall sound profile is quite decent. The passive radiators ensure enough bass for casual listening, but do not expect it perform great at very low frequencies. As you can see in our pink noise diagram below, the Sync 20+ can reproduce distinct bass only from around the 52 kHz mark. That being said, the 40 mm loudspeaker augurs well for higher frequencies, particularly the mids and vocals. Our rule of thumb is to take the stated range, 100 feet in this case, and divide it in half. That would put both of these speakerphones at around 50 feet of usable range. If you use this method, you’ll end up with a more realistic expectation when it comes to range. Connectivity One feature that’s pretty cool on the Sync 20 is it has a USB port that can be used to charge a mobile phone even when being used for a meeting. That’s a nice feature because it seems mobile phone batteries are always needing a charge.

If there were an advantage here, I’d say it goes to the Poly Sync 20 as it provides 25% more battery life even though it takes 25% longer to charge. Warranty Having more speaker sound can make a difference when you're wanting to hear well, or in those situations where you have a group of people on the call. In most cases, more available speaker volume is preferred over less. If you’re looking for the best speakerphone and portable speaker in one, the Poly Sync 20 offers a rich audio experience that will keep getting better over time through updates via Poly software and remote management**** for your IT team. This sleek, compact device was designed with your life on-the-go in mind. With multimedia quality sound, it’s a music lover’s delight filled with smart features that keep work calls simple and sounding great. All these things degrade the signal because the signal must penetrate these obstructions. This leads to compromised wireless range.

One very attractive feature of the Jabra Speak 710 is you can daisy chain two of the speakerphones together wirelessly. That provides you with two omnidirectional microphones as well as two speakers for a stereolike sound. This capability is extremely useful when you have a group of people assembled for a meeting. More microphone coverage, portability and superior speaker sound. In this blog I’ll cover the features of both speakerphones as well as I’ll mention the MSRP cost on them as well. General appearance Everyone deserves to hear the whole meeting—loud and clear. Poly Sync 60 USB/ Bluetooth® smart speakerphone is perfect for conference rooms. Voices are the focus,

For example, the USB-A port for device charging is a nice touch, meaning you can effectively use the Sync 20 as an emergency power bank (provided the device’s own battery is at medium or higher).
