The dedicated dongle for connection is the one single best part of this PowerConf and should resolve all connection issues and make it most adopted conference spraker​:ok_hand::+1:

Price should be $99.99 but knowing the way prices are planned, this may be $129.99 ~$150

Better late into the dongle, but it’s never too late!! Good work AnkerTeam @AnkerOfficial

One of the items that I would have been curious to try out in the work office, but haven’t been there for 5 months now lol.

PowerConf+ will be a better option than PowerConf or S3, because of the dongle, and I feel Anker must make it standard and provide the dongle option for the other 2 model ( i need one too) – Feedback to @Ankerofficial @AP_Gotzon Anker Team

Bluetooth dongle gives device freedom to PowerConf to connect beyond the Laptops… Example - the PowerConf can now be connected directly to Cisco phones on USB port. (Earlier too i could do it… But is a pain with Bluetooth pairing, and connecting the BT connection each time on the Cisco IP PHONE)

Most popular business headset brands such as Poly (previously called Plantronics), Jabra, Cisco etc have Bluetooth headsets with Dedicated dongle. This makes them ready for use without worrying about BT pairing headache / frustration.

Anker, by adding a dongle for connection is doing a great service by reducing frustration for users with BT pairing. Gives plug and play support with the dongle.

I missed out on it by buying the PowerConf early. Now feel I should have waited… Well, I used it and its been my best device yet for work from home.

Additionally, Anker / Soundcore should do a guided setup for speakers / Headsets via the app,( as a feature request) mentioned here

Would a bluetooth dongle remove compatibility, could it be used without it?
I’m thinking of mobile phone and tablet use which is where my PowerConf gets most of its use.

I have headsets with BT dongle, connected to Cisco phones, and these work perfectly well. It removes the compatibility issues … have all of the brand headsets listed above connected via USB-C adapter to Google Pixel, and these work flawlessly.

You may connect the PowerConf to your S20 via the USB-C Adapter, will work like a charm! will drop a video later… (part of my review for powerconf… coming soon!!)

Never thought of using a lead to connect to phone, i always go Bluetooth and it seems to work a treat, more convenient and looks tidier on a desk/boardroom table.
It would be a shame if it removed some Bluetooth availability by limiting to the dongle alone for Bluetooth.

Bluetooth availability would always be available, i don’t think the BT functionality is going to be touched.

Anker is adding more options for connectivity, one less thing to worry about… just plug the dongle, boom! Powerconf is ready … similar to the cable. Though I feel there will be initial hiccups, and with some tweaks / updates, it should be stable

The dongle appears to be a separate product if it is the same as the FCC item, so what you ask may be possible as a retrospective purchase for existing Powerconf.

Anker should confirm/deny.

Cool, thats good then @Shenoy
I thought the dongle might have been a compulsory thing :+1:t2:

Hi all,

So is the difference between all versions only the Bluetooth dongle?

Beyond simple pairing is there any other reason to get the plus model?
