I had another USB speakerphone that this replaced. That one wasn’t bluetooth enabled, and that turned out to be a significant game changer for me.I’m a remote worker, and I spend a lot of time on the phone. The things that I love about this speaker is that it works with my PC (via USB) and my phone (via BT) simultaneously. It also functions as a basic mono speaker (I have no other speakers connected to my PC). The best thing about it is the smart button, which I’ve programmed to bring up Siri. Before, when I needed to make a call… pickup phone, unlock, open contacts, find contact (or punch in phone number). Now, tap smart button, tell Siri what I want. Yes, I can call up Siri on my phone directly, but it’s just not as simple or easy as tapping that button.Clarity on both ends is great. I’ve asked a few people on the other end, and nobody can tell I’m on a speaker. There’s plenty of volume if you need to fill a medium sized room, and overall sound quality is very good.The speaker claims to work with many conferencing apps, and it does work, but I wouldn’t say it’s integrated. For example, if I tap the mute button, the speaker mutes, but the conferencing app doesn’t. Not really a problem since I’m still muted, but there’s always that moment of, “am I muted?” if I look at the app. I just have to remember to look at the speaker which clearly shows you’re muted by lighting up all the red LEDs around the perimeter of the device. Speaking of the lights, they’re all very well thought out. Lights to let you know it’s on, that BT is on. Lights that come up in sequence to show the volume setting, and whether you’re on an active call, and lights to indicate the battery level. They’re all uniquely different and easy to intuitively understand.I also like that it’s easy to turn BT on/off with a tap of the BT button. Connection establishment happens fast, to the point that I can turn it on and answer a call after the phone has started ringing (if I’d forgotten to turn it on previously).I haven’t tested battery life since it stays plugged in at my desk. Though, even if it only got half of the 15-hour claimed talk time, that would be more than enough to get me through a typical days calls.The only thing I’d change about the device is the placement of the mute/power buttons. The four buttons I use the most are answer/end/mute and the smart button. I would’ve swapped the positions of the mute/power buttons so that mute was between answer/end. Then all four common use buttons would be right next to each other. As it is, the mute button is “far away” relative to the other buttons. Of course, this is a very minor nitpick, and doesn’t change my overall opinion of it, but there you go.

I got it today for use with Microsoft Teams in a small conference room at work. This thing is tiny, much smaller than I expected: it fits into the palm of my hand. It has a bluetooth connection capability (but it does not come with a special dongle, like my Jabra headset), and also USB connectivity (via the permanently connected to the unit USB cable). I plugged it into Dell docking station, and now we can connect our laptops to the speaker by just plugging in the USB-C cable from the docking station. This cable via docking station provides power to the laptop, feeds video to the TV via HDMI cable, and feeds audio to the Jabra Speak via USB. The sound is surprisingly good – the quality is great, and it is loud enough for the team. While it is nominally rated for 4 people, I found that mike is good enough to pick up sound from people around a larger table, which can sit up to 8 people. Connection to MS Teams as audio established automatically, one did not even need to switch the audio to Jabra Meet in the list. Sound quality on the other end was also better than expected. The only annoying thing is that every time you turn the unit on, it gives recorded instructions to connect to bluetooth – which is totally unnecessary as we do not play to use the bluetooth functionality, and this announcement is very annoying as it is repeated over and over again. I guess, the only way to deal with it is to keep it plugged into the docking station and never turn it off. Overall, a really nice gadget. Please be aware that when you buy on Amazon, the gadget can be sold by Amazon.com or any other business or individual doing merchant business through Amazon. At the time of this writing, there are 3 businesses who are not authorized dealers offering the same unit along with Amazon.com as a seller! You as a customer may pick from whom you want to buy. Jabra is very specific on their web site that warranty support will only be provided to original owners of units bought from authorized resellers. Amazon.com is one of them, but many third party vendors (with names you never heard) who are selling through Amazon are not. Jabra even maintains a list of non-authorized vendors, and they say they sell either grey market products or refurbished units, as they cannot get what they sell directly from Jabra! An option to buy a unit sold directly by Amazon can cost a few dollars more, but it is the only one that comes with warranty!

I tried a cheaper disc that started giving me static issues 3 months in. I have never had a complaint about the clarity of my voice in online meetings and have never had issues with the sound from this disc. Easy to use and works great.

I love this speaker. It is so solid, I have purchase it for both the office and home (although you can easily move it.) Sounds quality for voice is a 10/10. Best I have heard. Even comparing to larger office professional speakers, this one picks up voice and sounds great and you can hear how good or bad everyone else’s computer mics are (Macs are great, some PCs are terrible, BTW.) I probably really want to give the product 4.4 stars–DUE TO THESE TECHNICAL ISSUES– (Not everyone will have these issues) But, the main complaint I have here is that the buttons light up differently depending on whether you are on Teams, Zoom, Google meet, etc. REALLY inconsistent. So inconsistent that I really don’t use the Bluetooth–I ONLY connect with a cable. It works great wirelessly with a phone, but when you switch from Zoom to Google meet or Teams–it often just does not connect. You have to manually reset things. BIG ISSUE #2 – the sleek design is such that buttons only light up when you need them. But sometimes the mute button does not light up and you cannot see it. I literally used a silver Sharpie to highlight the Mute and On button. They did not need to make these black with no label unless the light is on. When you switch between Teams and Zoom as I do 15 times a day, often the mute button on the device just does not work–mostly on teams. SO, the mute light on the Jabra is on — making you THINK you are muted — but you look on Teams and you are NOT muted. That is a risk and problem. It works better connected than wireless, just be careful about making sure you have got your video or audio tools fully set to the Jabra 710. Even when I am set up properly, odd things happen where I cannot hear or the mute is not working. But in the 90% of the time everything works right–JABRA 710 is great. I am happy to talk to the design team at Jabra as I can explain these issues more clearly–but they are real tech issues–not “user error.” AND for heaven’s sake, on the next one (Jabra 810, 910?) — PLEASE make the buttons visible at all times. The sleek design is a classic result of “form over function” and that’s bad. LAST COMPLAINT – I have a lot of bluetooth speakers for music, various Amazon, Bose, etc. The Jabra is very flat for music and not good. Even with two speakers, I still don’t recommend it. It’s for voices, not music. But again, it’s the best mainstream voice call/video speaker out there—so HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, despite my tech issues.

I use an iPhone for my business. I don’t like holding a phone next to my ear, so I use the speaker or a headset. The downside is that my customers often hear interference from my headset, and the iPhone speaker is poor. I decided to get a speaker system to use with the iPhone. After researching, I chose this Jabra because it was not horrifically expensive, and I preferred a blutooth system to work with the iPhone. I have not been disappointed. I’ve been using the Jabra now for two months. It set up easily and works like a little charm. I set it near me on my desk and when I get a call, simply press the answer button and have a conversation on a clear line. My clients never hear interference, I hear them very well and the conversation is very clear on their end. I use it all day long: 8-10 hours per day. I’m on the phone a lot, more some days than others, but the charge lasts roughly two days. It will also work while plugged in and charging. The speaker volume is limited, but it’s about the size of a coffee cup saucer, so that’s a given. Despite its diminutive size, the volume is more than sufficient. The only downside I’ve experienced so far is that, when the battery is drawing down to empty, the red light starts to flash and, if you don’t get it plugged in immediately, it will shut down in probably less than 60 seconds. So, if you are on an important call, and you haven’t charged it in a day or so, plug it in before the call. I read reviews before I purchased and saw that a number of people were dissatisfied with range, quality, etc. I’ve experienced none of those issues and find this product to be an exceedingly useful little workhorse!

I recently purchased the Microsoft Lync-compatible version of the Jabra Speak 410 (from Amazon), and have been using it daily for about 3 months. My experience has been excellent and I highly recommend it. This is a very well-designed product.Functionally, it integrates very smoothly with MS Lync and the audio settings of my laptop (the software downloaded via Jabra’s website is very easy to set up and use). It’s about the diameter of a CD, and about an inch thick – with the supplied soft case it tucks away nicely in my laptop bag for on-the-go use.The sound quality of the speaker is excellent – I’ve used it for both conference calls, VoIP phone calls via Lync, and listing to music and CDs from my laptop. In all cases, it sounded as good or better than any external computer speakers I have ever used (excluding outboard subwoofers, etc.). It gets plenty loud and can easily fill a small to medium size room with sound.People whom I am speaking with via the Jabra 410 have told me that my audio quality (i.e. the Jabra 410’s internal microphone) sounds excellent, however I have not been able to actually hear how I sound to others when using the Jabra 410 so I can not compare the Jabra 410’s mic sound quality to more traditional wired headsets or dedicated external mics. All my use of the Jabra has been from my own home office or small conference rooms, so I can not confirm how it performs in large conference rooms with many people speaking in a group (Jabra claims the microphone is multidirectional, and it does appear to be).It has a jack for an external headset, so you can listen to calls/music/audio privately if others are in the room with you, and when doing so it continues to use its own internal microphone in case you need to speak. I have not tried this, but I suspect the headphone jack would also allow you to connect the Jabra to an outboard audio system or the audio input of a computer monitor with speakers (and I suspect when doing so it would maintain full duplex audio).The onboard controls (volume, mute, etc.) are touch-sensitive and work very smoothly, and when pressing them the Jabra’s LEDs light up and you hear a soft “click” sound through the Jabra’s speaker to confirm (really slick, actually).A feature I particularly like is that when you press the “Mute” button, all 12 of the LEDs around the outer ring of the device light up red, and do NOT blink when you are on mute. The LEDs will stay red as long as the unit is muted, so at a quick glance you can verify that you are on mute, even from several feet away from the unit. I can’t stand mute lights that blink when on mute, especially when on long calls where I am not a key participant and am on mute for most of the call.My only complaint is that it is a wired device and isn’t wireless/battery powered. I’ll bet Jabra’s working on a wireless version though (if they aren’t they should be). Also, it would be nice to have a hinged base or “kickstand” so you could angle it toward you rather than having it point straight up all the time.If you’re looking for a true hands-free audio conferencing experience via MS Lync that is similar to that of traditional and far more expensive conferencing equipment (like Polycom, etc.), the Jabra Speak 410 will work nicely.

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.

I needed a speaker/microphone that was not a headset option as I often have group meetings in my office. Tried other microphone/speakers and they were okay but this Jabra speaker/mic is the BEST combo. A little bit more expensive but worth it. Also sits on my desk and doesn’t take up a lot of room.

The mic is very sensitive and others hear me much better than other devices. I’ve used one of these I bought 4 years ago. Just bought 2 more for others that were struggling to be heard on calls. This microphone fixed that.
