Voice Level Normalisation technology in each Speak2 speakerphone ensures there’s no need for raised voices The speaker drivers remain the same as those in the previous model, but the Qualcomm chipset that powers the speaker has been upgraded (the speaker uses Bluetooth 5.1), bumping the sound quality up a tad, particularly at higher volumes, with better digital signal processing. It remains one of the best-sounding mini Bluetooth speakers, with richer more tonally balanced sound than other Bluetooth speakers its size -- and it should sound good, considering its elevated price point..A calming female voice lets you know the state of the battery and if it has been successfully connected to a device. There is also a ring of light surrounding the speaker in a range of clever ways to communicate battery levels, whether a call has been connected or disconnected and if the device is off or on. It definitely feels like every aspect of this device has been crafted with love and passion. Speak2-modellen met Microsoft Teams-certificering ondersteunen Microsoft Teams als een plug-and-play-ervaring. De plug-and-play-ervaring biedt deze voordelen: It's unclear if you need the dongle because the speaker has an integrated USB-A or -C cord to plug directly into a computer and charge the device, but the dongle makes for easier pairing.

Als je geen Microsoft Teams als UC-client gebruikt, raden we aan de standaard UC-variant te nemen, die voor de belangrijkste UC-platforms is gecertificeerd, zoals Google Meet, Zoom, en dergelijke. All the Jabra Speak2 range speakerphones are plug-and-play, enabling users to focus on their meetings. The entry-level Speak2 40 model uses a wired USB connection, while the Speak2 75 or Speak2 55 models can connect wirelessly over Bluetooth.Once it was effectively charged I was easily able to connect it to my computer by both Bluetooth and using the cable. Initially, it was a little difficult to get my computer to use it as both a microphone and a speaker until I installed the device software – Jabra Direct. Once I had updated the firmware everything ran smoothly and I was able to use it as a microphone and speaker in a range of different contexts. The software didn’t really add much functionality to the device but the firmware update is a must for this device. If we’re being completely honest, when carrying out testing, this is where we saw the biggest difference. The sound quality and clarity, both coming out of the speaker and when receiving the sound on the other end was a drastic upgrade on the original Speak range.

Finally, we all know that the electronics industry isn’t always the most environmentally friendly. However, Jabra have made a conscious effort towards offering a more sustainable product with over 50% being made with sustainable materials. I like how Jabra has redesigned the new models, giving them a sleeker, cleaner look, and all the models include an integrated USB-C cable with a USB-A adapter that allows you to plug the speaker directly into a Mac or Windows PC. The relatively compact Speak2 55 comes with a nice felt carrying case and is fairly lightweight, weighing in at 280 grams (9.88 ounces), making it easy to slip into a bag and carry around for conference calls on the go. While it offers Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity, it doesn't come with a USB Bluetooth dongle to plug into your PC for more reliable wireless connectivity with computers. Duplex audio technology is a game changer. If you’re not familiar with Duplex Audio, it means that two people can talk at the same time. Whether you’ve got an internal team meeting or having a discussion with a client – if you were having a chat in person the conversations would ebb and flow. The Evolve2 55 allows for a completely natural conversation, not cutting anyone off when another tries to speak. Paired with the acoustic echo-cancellation and voice-normalization technology to regulate loud or soft speakers, no matter what the acoustics of the room, the conversation will always sound crystal-clear. With the Jabra Speak2 range, users can rely on seamless plug-and-play connectivity, so they can focus on what matters most; hosting professional and reliable meetings. For those who like choice, use the USB cable for a direct line with the Speak2 40 or go wireless with the Speak2 75 or Speak2 55. Engineered with super-wideband audio and a full range 65mm speaker, the Speak2 75 guarantees an outstanding audio experienceI would probably like to be able to toggle the noise cancellation function on and off to use it to record sound. However, it is a beautiful device that is perfectly fit for the purpose of its design. The boxing for the Jabra Speak2 55 is artfully simple. A small but sturdy cardboard box sourced from sustainable sources with no soft plastic to be found. The device is safely nestled in a fabric pouch and is completely self contained. There has clearly been a lot of thought put into the environmental impact and design aesthetic of the boxing that I deeply appreciate. The speaker comes in a few different color options and has touch controls on the top along with LED lights that indicate whether you're connected via Bluetooth, on a call and whether your microphone is muted. You can also connect directly to your computer with the included USB-C cable -- the speaker charges via USB-C -- and a USB-C to USB-A adapter is included (you can store it in a slot in the base of the speaker, where you'll also find a threaded tripod mount). Battery life is rated at up to 20 hours, and a 10-minute charge gives you two hours of juice. The speaker is splash-proof and dust-resistant with an IP64 rating. What's more, if using it on the go you can be sure the 12 hour battery life will last you through the longest days of meetings. If meetings do go on even longer, you have the option of charging directly from your laptop whilst simultaneously using the speaker.

I played some music through the speaker and it sounds decent though not great for a compact Bluetooth speaker. As you might expect, it's strongest in the midrange, where vocals live, so it does well with acoustic music. Copenhagen, February 28, 2023 Jabra, leaders in personal sound and office solutions, today launch the Speak2 range, the newest products in Jabra’s world market-leading Speak line-up of professional speakerphones which include the Speak2 75, Speak2 55 and the Speak2 40. Previously with the original Speak range there were two different lines for each model. One for USB-A and one for USB-C. However, with the Speak2 they have chosen to install a split USB cable offering both USB-A/C. For a speaker that is used on the go, when users sometimes don’t know what tech will be available in the meeting space, this is a huge improvement. Hybrid work has shifted the way we meet, with 80% of all meetings now being either fully remote or hybrid*. The new Speak2 range is engineered specifically to meet the need for an intelligent speaker that is built to handle anything a busy hybrid working day throws at you – whether it be conference meetings, direct calls, streaming media, presentation or other.Plug-and-play for ease of use, with Jabra Speak2 55 boasting up to 12 hours of wireless battery life With the Jabra Speak2 range, users can be sure to rely on seamless plug-and-play connectivity, so users can focus on what matters most; hosting professional and reliably brilliant meetings. For those who like choice, use the USB cable for a direct line with the Speak2 40 or go wireless with the Speak2 75 or Speak2 55.
