Overall, I enjoyed my experience with the Poly Sync 20 speaker. I was a bit skeptical at first, as many collaboration products promise to make hybrid work more collaborative, but this product genuinely surprised me with its simplicity, portability, and compactness. Another significant value-add is the ability to work with a wide range of platforms, including Teams and Zoom. With hybrid and work from home environments continuing to play a huge role in the working experience, the Poly Sync 40 and Poly Sync 60 are coming just at the right time. Poly seems committed to improving the work from home experience by launching collaboration devices, and the team is executing well. After using the Poly Sync 20 speaker, I look forward to testing the next round of Poly Sync devices soon. We designed the Sync 20 to be taken with you wherever you go — it’s slim, light, and comes with a carrying case and wrist lanyard. So, if you’d like to see them up close and personal, as well as hear how they both sound, and compare, I urge you to watch the video. I
Where the Jabra Speak 710 gives you up to 15 hours. To recharge the battery, the Sync 20 takes 4 hours, where the Jabra Speak 710 takes 3. 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. Multi-Functionality – Aside from being a speakerphone and music speaker, this little Swiss-Army Knife of a device can also be used to keep your smart phone charged up and ready for your next move. The Poly Sync 20 comes in two different versions – the Poly Sync 20 and the Poly Sync 20+. Both versions include the ability to connect to your smartphone through Bluetooth and to your computer via an integrated USB cable. The Poly Sync 20+ includes the BT600 USB Bluetooth adaptor, which lets users wirelessly connect to their computer. THE BEST MICROSOFT TEAMS CERTIFIED SPEAKERPHONE In this blog, I don’t intend to pour through the many personal speakerphone options you have. Instead, I’m going to compare two models from two companies on the list above. Specifically, I’ll be comparing the Jabra Speak 710, and the newer Poly Sync 20.
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. The Poly Sync 20+ makes for a good calling device when connected to your phone or PC. Callers on the other side report good voice clarity with no perceivable clipping or disturbances. The microphone frequency response is rated between 100 Hz and 6.7 kHz, so do not expect too much of a bass effect in the voice. That being said, the quality is more than sufficient for regular phone calls and online meetings. The added bonus is that the Sync 20+ supports noise and echo reduction, which should result in call quality better than your average laptop or smartphone microphone. Poly Sync 40: PC via combined USB-A and USB-C cable; smartphone via Bluetooth. Poly Sync 40+: PC via combined USB-A and USB-C cable or wirelessly via included BT600 Bluetooth adapter; smartphone via Bluetooth
On the surface, the Poly Sync 20 seems to be the more technologically advanced, and potentially the better sounding conference phone. After all, it has three microphones that are “steerable” where the Jabra Speak 710 has a single microphone. Does this translate to superior sound? I did sound tests on both. Specifically, I did these tests: Both speakerphones are rated to provide up to 100 feet of wireless range. I, personally, think that’s a generous, correction, over generous statement. Streamlined and intuitive functionality are central to the Poly Sync 20’s design. Now you can switch between your favorite functions – such as play or pause music, last number redial, voice assistant, and more – with the touch of the programmable button. At a glance, Poly Sync’s highly visible LED light indicator bar lets you know the call status – even from a distance. 7 – Certified for Use with Your Favorite Platformn this sense, hearing is believing, at least to the extent that one of these speakerphones will sound better to you as it did for me. I’ll insert the video immediately below for easy access. 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). 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.
