Jabra Speak2 75
Good all rounder, but disappointing…

I liked the recyclable and completely frustration free packaging which made it easy to open and dispose of.
The speaker was heavier than I thought it might be, but it gives it a sturdy and expensive feel when handling it. The set up was a breeze – literally just plug and play via both USB and Bluetooth, with my PC picking it up immediately.
Playback sound is really good, this gives the existing speaker I use for listening to music a run for it’s money, with a rich sound. The EQ feature in the Jabra Direct app makes it easy to change to get a good balance when listening to music.
I spend most of my days on conference calls, both at home and in the office. From a listening perspective, this has been excellent. I have been a little disappointed with the microphone quality – while others on calls have always been able to hear me, several colleagues have commented that I sound like I’m in a bathroom/echo-y location. I’ve tried several different positions for the device to try to remedy this but haven’t been able to. It doesn’t make it hard to hear what I am saying, but for a premium device I expected a better microphone.
The battery life is decent and I’m enjoying using it. The carry case is useful, if a bit soft but the device is sturdy enough I’m not worried when it is in my bag.
Overall it’s a decent bit of kit, and it is perfect for day to day video calls, but if I have a presentation where I wish to ensure my voice is crystal clear, at the moment I’d probably default to using another microphone. .
