Jabra Speak2 55 Wireless Bluetooth Speakerphone with 4 Noise-cancelling Mics, Full-range 50mm Speaker, Wideband Audio, Compact and portable - MS Teams Certified, Works with Other Platforms - Dark Grey

The Jabra Speak2 55 is a small and very portable device. It comes with a useful carry-pouch and the USB cable wraps tidily around the device, clicking neatly into place. Using the device is simple - I plugged it into my laptop and it worked straight away. Being compatible with Microsoft Teams, the mute and volume buttons work directly with the Teams app. It has a useful coloured ring showing if the device is active (green) or on mute (red). Call quality cannot be faulted - the speaker makes it sound like colleagues are in the room and colleagues have confirmed that they can hear me much better than previously. Overall an excellent, good value product.

The Jabra Speak 2 55 arrived in very simple packaging, environmentally friendly, all recyclable, no e-waste here. Case is soft and reasonably protective, it does seem to work at keeping it from taking the worst knocks when it is in my bag.Setup on day 1 was simple enough thanks to the USB Type-C cable, it was detected immediately by Teams. Calls have been clear with no noticeable distortion, it has been able to filter out some of the background noise that is normal with working from home to the point where a few colleagues have noticed the clarity is better in comparison to my previous speaker.The speaker is clear when listening to videos, its not the most broad range speaker but is does a nice job of adding some depth to the audio output, it makes me wonder how this compares to the Speak 2 75. I've been using it out and about at offices that aren't equipped with conferencing tools and it has made a marked improvement to me not having to get out a headset and having a cable trail after me.Speaking of cables the option to have Bluetooth as a fallback has been nothing short of great, I am able to connect my mobile phone to the speaker and use the phone for Teams calls, no one notices that I am using my mobile for the calls.I installed the app to see what options are available and they seem fairly limited, apart from keeping the firmware up to date and choosing what "softphone" to be sync'd, was hoping to be able to get it have the soft keys work with Teams but this doesn't seem to work.All in all the Speak 2 55 seems to be a good all rounder thanks to the Bluetooth support.

The Jabra Speak 2 55 is a very compact and stylish design. It worked straight out of the box with very little set up. I just used the Bluetooth connectivity for using with my smartphone, rather than the need for any app. The USB port made connection to my laptop very easy. The speaker comes with a soft case which makes it very easy to carry around. The battery life states 12 hours use. The battery has not required charging- and charges when plugged into laptop.My primary reason for purchasing this was for work meetings via teams but I have already discovered many personal uses that I didn’t expect. I have found it very useful for simple loud to loud calls on my phone, rather than using speakerphone and also for playing music. The speaker clarity is great and with it being so portable, I have been using it as an outdoor speaker. The audio quality for conference calls is great. The microphone has 360 coverage but there have been times when the receiver of the call has said they can’t hear me clearly. The functions were very user friendly and easy to control features such as volume, mute and other settings.In summary, I would say it is a speakerphone that excels in delivering outstanding audio quality but the microphone quality could be slightly better. It’s portability, battery life and features still make this a great choice.

I was unsure what to expect from the Jabra Speak2. I had a complete open mind as i have always relied on the inbuilt speakers on a pc or laptop previously.My first positive feeling was the size. Such a compact, lightweight piece that comes with a handy protective pouch, that it will be easy to take with me should the need arise.When i was having a closer look at it and accidently pressed a button, so it switched on and starting instructing me, his was even without a cable! then i was taken aback and again impressed.The simplicity to connect and use it was great and i really appreciated that aspect.On my first testing, the quality wasnt brilliant and then i realised that was all me and i didnt have it set correctly for the meeting. However when i altered it to the correct thing it was different altogether.Best meeting for levels and quality i have ever had online.I asked my teenage son to try it and he has used it to chat with his mates and was impressed too - something that isn't always easy to do!I would definitely recommend this to anyone but especially if online meetings are part of what you do.
