Would love to answer work calls from the office will stuck at home.

#23

This would make an awesome addition to our conference room

#24

I work best at my kitchen table with my laptop and my snack and some peaceful music playing!

#25

I work best at home when my 2 kids arent climbing all over me lol.

Now that I have to work from home until the foreseeable future, now would be a good time to have this!

#26

i am going to try for the first time

#27

Good luck :+1:

I shared this on facebook, but I’m working best from home right now. My work is mandating teleconferencing and webmeetings now. I can really use one of these now due to the covid 19 precautions.

I work best at home and on the road!

Guys, why ye’all going on about work-from-home for this product? I have worked from home for about half the last 30 years and most telecommuting collaboration software sucks at filtering the feedback from a speaker. Even if the speaker is brilliant, the path the sound goes back through in software is often meh. It causes issues with natural communication where you have to take turns with pauses to speak.

If you’re working from home you really need earbuds. It makes the conversation flow much better.

These speakers make more sense if you’re not isolated, 2 of 3 people in a room together.

Also you only need 1 person to have feedback and it kills a conference call so really everyone needs earbuds.

Just sayin’…

#32

have a good day

I can relate to it… just yesterday we were all on a conference call with our consultants, everyone hooked to audio / video via web conference, one of them joins over phone, with poor cell reception, voice caving in / out… whole experience is ruined!!

You mention a different problem, the more people in a virtual meeting, the more inputs, the more chance someone has a technology issue, which ruins it for everyone. It is fixed by a non speaking meeting moderator who mutes the offending input.

Back to the speakerphone… if you are the only person in the meeting in the room, you need to using a bud in your ear so the sound from it never gets into the microphone so the collaboration software does not have to detect and remove that audio. Removing that audio kills the natural flow you get in an in person conversation. But if you are one of a few people in the same meeting, if you all have earbuds then the lag between sound of people in the room speaking relative to audio from the meeting has a type of stutter.

So bottom line is if you are on your own working, you need buds not speaker, if you in a group of people in a room in the meeting you want speaker.

So all these people working from home should not buy speakers but go for buds, good ones, like say the Soundcore Life P2.

What you’re saying makes sense professor, I started using the power conf and ditched my headset, so far I don’t have any complaints in large meetings over 25 people, but nobody complained about my voice quality so I’m assuming the power conf is doing a good job,

Although I must say that ppl are usually good at muting themselves when it’s not their turn to talk, or patiently wait - so the PowerConf didn’t have to do as much work.

I’ll keep this in mind and switch to my headset for those very important meetings :slight_smile:

For last 2-3 weeks, we have been tasked with setting up the required infra for remote worker plus the added meetings, long meetings, maintenances / incidents and tired of using headsets / earphones for these calls

I do have the Nano, and it gives my ears a break from earphones :grin:… not that I will not go back in to NC headsets or earphones / earbuds, but speaker reduces that added pressure on ears (I have Apple / SoundCore / Non-SoundCore headsets and earphones – all of them)
I have my personal work area at home, all to myself, (except my kids come in and play around.)

Plus, when not on call, I use the music on these…

Plan to use Icon mini for rest of this week for calls.
