Title: Best in class portable, bluetooth, wireless, mobile speakerphone
Review: I have a reputation among friends, associates, family for doing a deep dive and researching the field when choosing new products. I like to understand the differences between products, state of the art, etc., and generally be an informed buyer. I've also been in "tech" for more than 35 years, with roles from hands on through CIO and CTO, so I've got a lot of experience researching and choosing products, whether for one person or thousands. In short: I tend to be a picky shopper. I researched the field here, and think I've found a winner.At this point in my career, I'm traveling weekly, and I'm meeting -- either in person or remote -- with numerous people each week. Conference calls are the norm, and may involve dozens of people, conference rooms with poor equipment, offices with dreadful 15 year old "speakerphones", hotel rooms, working from my home office, etc. One of the most frustrating experiences is trying to participate in a mission critical conference call when 1) I can barely hear or understand the folks at the other end, and 2) they can't hear and understand me unless I lean over a mic and raise my voice. Cell phone "speakerphones" may be acceptable in an emergency, but haven't proven adequate for routine use.I had recently research Bluetooth speakers for use primarily as audio / music listening speakers (for use, e.g., with Google Play Music from my phone). I researched and auditioned many: Bose, Cambridge, JBL, Shark, Amazon, Phillips, Anker, Jambox, etc. I narrowed it down to those with speakerphone capability, thinking I'd satisfy that need along with the media speaker requirement. After a LOT of research and live auditions, I settled on Nyne Bass, and couldn't be happier with it -- as a media speaker - truly amazing in all respects: sound is stunningly good - even outdoors, and both battery life and bluetooth handling are excellent. Unfortunately, it's only mediocre when turning a phone into a speakerphone, and often quite disappointing -- and I've tried out colleague's products like Jambox for the same purpose, and also found them disappointing. So -- I went on the hunt for a "real" business quality Bluetooth speakerphone.After much research, I homed in on Jabra, and the 510+ looked most promising after reading a LOT of reviews. Buying via Amazon Prime, I knew I had no risk, so I place the order -- and had the package on my desk about 36 hours later. Once again -- kudos to Amazon Prime and the vendors that work with Amazon in this program.The product is perfectly packaged, and beautifully made. It appears to be about 4.5" in diameter, and about 1.25" high when sitting flat on a desk or table. It is a gorgeous, professional grade piece of tech with excellent fit and finish and features. It comes with a neoprene zipper case, the USB cord wraps around the body and tucks into a groove that also holds the cable end in place. Incredibly well thought out and executed.This model can be connected to a phone or laptop via bluetooth, and to a laptop via USB cable. It doesn't come with its own charging brick, but the USB cable can charge from any standard 1A or higher brick. It takes a while for a full charge, but once charged, I can use it all day and into the night, and the charge is only partially depleted.Sound quality is absolutely spectacular for the purpose. I can place this on a table or desk in a room with a dozen people at distances from 3 ft to 15 ft or more, and they are all picked up and easily understand by people at the other end of the call. What comes out of the speaker is superb as well: I'm often on the receiving end of a conference call with two dozen people, all different sound environments and volume levels, and half a dozen international accents -- and this speaker yields clear audio rivaling $400 or $500 Polycom and Cisco equipment (no exaggeration). This is so good, in fact, that I've taken to turning it on when sitting in my office at my current client's site, and using it in favor of the brand new Cisco equipment installed there. It's a better experience.The controls around the perimeter are all touch controls -- no physical buttons to degrade, and they work perfectly. Power, answer / hang up, volume up/down, bluetooth (on/off/pair), mute, battery (to check battery charge level). There are a serious of LEDs around the perimeter of the speaker that are almost invisible when off, but light up as needed to indicate function, e.g., Bluetooth connected, power on, volume level and battery life (number of lights on out of ten around the perimeter), etc. Audio prompts walk you through pairing, connection status, etc -- and these can be turned on and off via preferences.The firmware is easily upgradeable via the USB cable and downloadable PC application. I haven't had need to use the app yet, but it provides deeper control over options and connection to services like Lync. This also provides support for soft phones: this "510+ MS edition" is optimized for Microsoft products like Lync -- the other 510+ is, I believe, aimed more at other soft phone products like Cisco.All in all: a beautifully designed, engineered and implemented product. Every now and then you trip across a gem that defines state of the art in its category - and I believe this qualifies. As you might guess, I'm delighted with this product.

Title: A must for the conference call junkie
Review: First I bought one to try it. It worked flawlessly out of the box. The controls are extremely simple to use and handy. Being able to quickly tap a large target to mute provides a lot of value. The volume buttons in the Jabra 710 are half the step of the regular on-keyboard volume steps on macOS, this is sweet. The feedback provided by the lights pattern and colors is excellent. The kickstand is small but has a solid build and a soft snap. The audio quality is excellent as pure speakers on a paired stereo configuration they would be quite expensive and difficult to justify. The value is in their use as speakerphones, period. Said this, I got the other and I use them paired. I live conference calls and with the paired set the quality of the sound feels even better and I use it as my default speakers for music and such. I would take half a star off because 1) When paired there is an audio glitch of about a second whenever sound starts to play, is like the software of the speakers negotiating the stereo configuration. This is a just a small glitch but it is annoying, hopefully, there will be a firmware update to optimize this. 2) Pairing is lost when they are powered down. 3) When I sleep my MBP I need to wait some seconds to be able to power the speakers down or they just power up again. But these things are minor and likely to be addressed on a firmware update. Overall this is a go if you want to make to have conference calls with the best audio possible.

Title: Terrific for my innumerable Zoom meetings, but pricey
Review: Once the remote working situation began in earnest, I began getting too many complaints from using the default microphone and speakers on my laptop, so I began researching a better microphone/speaker setup.I began the research thinking that headsets were going to be the only thing that would work for good sound, but I was really reluctant to spend the day wearing a headset. Further, there are some Zoom calls where my entire family will interact with people on the other end, so a headset would not have been ideal there.I ended up going with this Jabra 710, and it has been just wonderful over the past couple of weeks. It was very easy to setup (less than a minute to connect it via Bluetooth and begin using), easy to customize with the desktop software, and just really simple to use. There are easy touch controls around the dial, and they are very responsive when I increase/decrease volume or go on mute, and the lights very intuitively convey remaining on/off, battery life, sound levels, and mute status without issue. The Bluetooth has never dropped, though note that it is placed pretty close to the laptop.It has decent sound for calls. While certainly not concert worthy like my B&Ws, it is fine for background music and Youtuve videos, and great for voice.I am generally in a bedroom all day, with not a lot of background noise. I also keep this plugged in most of the time since I use it at my desk, though when testing the battery life was about a day and a half of work and I am in meetings nearly all day. I just keep it plugged in because I wanted to skip unplugging it and plugging it back in (especially when I was not really moving it anywhere).Overall, highly recommend for meeting-centric uses. Wish it was a tad more affordable, but at the end of the day I am happy with my purchase because I am never fiddling around with call quality issues on meetings with customers and colleagues, and that is meaningful to me. You can probably get equivalent (or maybe better) with a headset, but then you are limited to one person at a time on your end, and you have to wear a headset a lot of the day if you are in many meetings, and that wasn't for me.

Review: I've setup a few of these over the last few years. It is a my go-to part for a small conference room 'speaker mic unit' for teams / meetings. also works well for 'road warrior' who wants an excellent 'speakerphone' meeting speaker-mic unit. great build quality, excellent audio quality, plug-and-play for use with things like Teams, GoogleMeet, Zoom, etc. "it just works" and you won't regret using this to do what you need for quality meeting audio.
