Anker PowerConf Bluetooth Portable Conference Speakerphone

This is a product I wanted to try but in all honesty I did not think I would like. I am not very Tech savvy to say the least but I am always willing to try something new. This is a well built item. Is has a hard aluminum case with a silicone pad underneath to keep in in place about anywhere. I read the instructions and they seemed simple enough. I had it set up in just a couple of minutes and only pressing two buttons. It actually almost sets itself up so it needed very little input from me. Anyway I tried it out right away and the sound was great. I did not think it could have given me a sound that was so clear and crisp. It works great on the Zoom application. It works great listening to videos on my ipad. My husband is a little hard of hearing so he uses it on his cell phone to get a louder and clearer voice. I forgot to mention it works off Bluetooth (which is new to me), It is rechargeable with the included cord. It has six microphones that can pick up your voice clearly no matter where you move about in the room. It is also automatic noise canceling capabilities that actually work. You can also charge other devices with it. This item I would Highly recommend, I would give it 10 stars if I could.

Cannot say enough about this speaker, mainly because I found it to be so much MORE than just a speaker for a phone. I started using it to hook it up to my laptop to use for teleconferencing while working at home, and noticed immediately the sound quality was amazing; no other word for it. The first call I was in had about eight people, ALL on their speaker or hand-held devices, so I was not expecting to be able to hear everyone clearly, but this speaker allowed me to hear everyone super clearly! (This was not the first meeting and I knew everyone, so I was familiar with their voices and what to expect, and this was by far the clearest their voices had ever been.) I've been using this speaker now for over a month and have been even more impressed with other features: 1. The battery life lasts a LONG time, more in line with an Apple device, about 24 hours or longer, which is a huge plus. 2. The Bluetooth connectivity could not be simpler, as it paired immediately upon turning on the first time, and now I don't have to do anything after that first time. I also paired it with my desktop, so now that that's done it won't have to be re-paired again. 3. The lighting effects are “cool,” according to my sons, and light up when a different speaker is on the speaker according to which direction their voice is speaking from, which is interesting and could be helpful if you're not familiar with their voice, but is not particularly helpful in every situation. 4. It comes in a hardshell case which is nicely sized and has a carry strap, all of which is very important in my situation, as my work involves traveling and this speaker will go wherever I go for conference recording. 5. It will charge multiple devices on the go or at home, which I need badly and appreciate. And finally, 6. One of the best features of this speaker is its multi-tasking as a plain old music speaker, no matter what device you're using; it works with any device! I use it all the time in my car on the road to work and just listening to music on the way to wherever I'm going, as it's actually a better quality sound system than my car system (since one speaker is not working). It's that good! With all those features, what's not to love? Pleasantly surprised at all there is to love about this, so definitely a fantastic buy for anyone in the market, in my opinion.

Wow, what a quality product! With quarantine still in full swing and work to do, I've been struggling to find ways to effectively conduct conference calls while stuck at home. I've used a wired headset, and my phone's speakerphone, but there are drawbacks to each. My wired headset's wire gets tangled in everything, and gets unplugged when it gets snagged on something at my desk. The phone's speakerphone is generally ok, but the audio quality is fairly mediocre. Enter the Anker PowerConf Bluetooth Portable Conference Speakerphone. Packaged in a very nice robust retail package, this heavyweight wireless speakerphone works like a charm. It took only a few hours to charge up completely using the included USB-C / USB cable (you must provide your own AC USB charger or other USB power source to charge it). Upon powering it up, the device enters into pairing mode, which makes it really easy to find and select this device from your desired host. In my case, I paired it with my phone. Once connected, I began using the speakerphone for various work related calls, and was extremely pleased with the rich audio quality, and the effectiveness of the 6 built-in microphones to pick up my voice. The unit also seems to have the ability to operate in a semi noisy environment, as background noise is not easily picked up if it is some distance from the speakerphone. However, putting the speakerphone next to my keyboard did pick up my typing noises. Not a big problem, just something to be aware of. Included top facing controls allowed me to adjust volume, hang up, pick up calls, and mute myself as needed. The controls are easy to understand and worked great. The device doubles as a wireless Bluetooth speaker, allowing you to stream music or other audio as you wish, if you aren't currently engaged on a call. Also provided with the unit is a zippered carry case, which snugly fits the unit for transport should you need to conduct calls while on the road (e.g. hotel room). Just be aware that the USB cable doesn't quite fit too well, though it can be forced to coexist with the unit in the carry case. Overall, this is a fantastic solution to my conference call audio quality woes and I love it. It is extremely easy to use, feels well made and durable, has excellent audio quality, connects consistently to my phone, and picks up my voice very well. Definitely would recommend this product to anyone looking for a cost effective calling audio solution.

Easy to sync with Bluetooth, boosts sound with clear, sharp finish, and it's portable. I love using this device in my car. I hear conference calls without needing to use my car audio system. It has made the experience better because I don't have to worry about feedback. People on line hear me clearly too. Another plus, I can play music through the speaker. Wow! I couldn't believe how great the music projected! I can play music easily from my porch, in the park, or while I'm cleaning the house. I use it the most when driving. Another perk, it charges my phone! My battery was low while on a hike and I remembered reading the device had charging capability. In the package, a case is included to make portability safe. Very impressed with device. It's a great gift for yourself or others

The speakerphone is very easy to set up it took less than five minutes from opening the box to getting it to work it works well with my older iPhone two people can listen into the conversation very easily in the words are easy to understand from this speaker phone it is a great device recommend this for anyone that may be slightly hard of hearing it helps a lot I have a little bit of hearing difficulties It works very well

Anker PowerConf Bluetooth Portable Conference Speakerphone I really enjoy this Anker PowerConf Blue tooth Portable Conference Speakerphone because I can blue tooth into it and I can go about working in the kitchen and it does not have any spot in that kitchen that my caller can not hear me. It all so will USB hook up to my computer for when it is needed that way. No feedback sounds such as echo's it cuts out most of the back ground noise so that the caller is not bothered as I work and talk. Onced charged it works many hours before needing charged again. And if I have to leave a room I can pick it up and take it with me, weights less then a pound. And is 4.84L x 4.88W x 1.17 H Inches

I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN DOZENS OF SPEAKER CONFERENCES AT WORK WHERE THE QUALITY WAS POOR AND THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH SKIPPING. ALSO WE HAD TO "LEAN" OVER THE TABLE IN ORDER FOR OUR VOICES TO CARRY. THIS ANKER PORTABLE SPEAKER IS AMAZING .. IT HAS THE LATEST BLUETOOTH 5.0 TECHNOLOGY WHICH IS GREAT. THE 360 DEGREE SUROUND SOUND MAKES IT SO THAT EVERYONE CAN HEAR CLEARLY. IT IS PICKED UP BY UP TO 8 PEOPLE WHO ARE ANYWHERE IN A ROOM DUE TO THE 6 MICROPHONES WHICH ARE PLACED STRATIGICALLY IN A CIRCLE. IT SETS UP QUITE EASILY TO YOUR PHONE WITH BLUETOOTH OR TO YOUR COMPUTER WITH A USB-C CABLE. YOU HAVE A RANGE OF ON LINE SERVICES SUCH AS CHROME, SKYPE, ZOOM, GOOGLE AND OTHERS THAT YOU CAN USE. THERE IS A TRAVEL CASE THAT THE SPEAKER PHONE COME IN SO THAT YOU CAN USE IT ELSEWHERE WITHOUT WORRY THAT SOMETHING MIGHT GET DAMAGED. ANKER IS A GREAT PRODUCT WITH EXCELLENCE IN MIND. I THINK THAT IF YOU GIVE IT A TRY THAT YOU WILL LOVE IT AS MUCH AS WE DO.

This portable Bluetooth Speakerphone is by far the very best on the market today. The product is very well made and carries a bit of heft so it will not slide around. With six Microphones it will pick up voices everywhere in the room and you do not have to stand right over it. It pairs very quickly with your phone and is basically plug and play. It comes with a great hardshell carrying case so you can take it every place you go and is safe from damage. I very highly recommend this product.

Didn't expect it to be heavy but in a good way so it doesn't feel cheap. Like how it also can charge my phone with the USB cord for a quick boost and it's volume is loud and clear. Easy instructions and start up and the travel case is nice touch too! I can enjoy talking on the phone free hand now

My husband works where he has to be on conference calls most of the day. When this came in, he was super happy! Now he can be hands free! At first it gave him some trouble with people hearing him, but now he says it has gotten better. Not sure what changed but it has - that's the reason for the star on overall. It was super easy to hook up and take off and use it within the next call. Definitely think it's a good quality product as we usually love Anker products anyway and trust them for most items. I will definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a conference device in the future.
