Logitech P710e Mobile Conferencing Speakerphone

I was looking and searching for a nice speaker that helped me to get through those LONG conference calls when I worked from home. I am not exaggerating, if I tell you that I have been looking for a reasonably price speaker, clear and compact for one year or so. After my search quests from different website, I came back to Amazon ( I always come back here... LOL). I found this Mobile Speakerphone and I finally ordered it, assuming that I will return it. Boy… Was I wrong! First, the Brand is Logitech! I LOVE their stuff... from solar keyboards to their cute Wireless Mouse! So... let me not get too excited and explain why I like this item:1. It is amazingly light & compact with its own zipper storage bag that comes in the package.2. The section that holds your mobile phone is perfectly designed so when you are done with your calls, you can close the section by sliding it and storing it in the zipper storage/bag that came with the product. ** I have iPhone 6 Plus** and it fits perfectly without any issues.3. Sound quality!!! OMG... To me it is clear and I can hear everyone on the call very well, I also happen to know that when I speak with my co-workers, they are able to hear me clearly. I have no interference with Bluetooth technology in this product.4. On the Right side of the speaker, you can see 4 control / Options: you can use a head set, your battery, reset button, On/Off button to turn the speaker on/off. You can connect this to your outlet and enjoy it. The wire can be wrapped underneath the speaker to control the length of the wire that you need.5. I like this speaker because it is easy to put it in your backpack/bag and travel with it.6. On the surface of the speaker when you turn on the speaker, you see 5 buttons: Red/Green with a picture of a phone handle, which is for you to use to turn on your mobile phone and 2 speaker button with + and - signs on them: those are your sound control level, and finally a Microphone with an X on it, which is your speaker control / AKA Your Mute button. When you turn on the Mute your lights changes from Green to Red indicating that you are on Mute! Which is a good thing! God knows, how many times I spoke while on Mute so this is good reminder for me to turn off the mute when I am ready to speak :-)**NOTE** When you put your Mobile phone on Mute and your speaker is not on mute you are still on Mute (Don't ask how I know this... LOL Just wanted to pass this on. :-)So... Sorry for the long review, I just wanted to pass on what I use this speakerphone for and to me it is 5 Starts :-) Good quality, compact and so easy to use :-) I also check the Logitech Website and they are selling this speaker and also others, so if you want to check them out here is the link: http://www.logitech.com/Don’t forget to compare prices. I bought it from Amazon, because as a Prime member I get free shipping ☺ So I hope this is helpful to you all.Have Fun ☺GO4IT

I read several reviews that stated that audio was not up to par or that this unit did not perform well. Having held several conferences now using this speakerphone, I would like to offer my observations.Audio quality: The largest room I've used this so far seats about 60 people. The speakerphone was set near one end of the room and had no problem picking up the voices from anywhere within and attendees could hear the speakerphone from anywhere within the room.Ease of use: Simple process of binding and operation. The only issue I have noticed is that there isn't a good means of determining battery charge level.Battery use: I ran the speakerphone for over five hours without any issues. I'm not sure how much charge remained but it was still running strong. My cell phone that I was using was at about 70% remaining charge when I concluded the conference so I don't think there is a heavy power toll for using the speakerphone.Connectivity. During one of the conferences, I did have occasional sporadic cutouts for both directions of audio. I believe that this is the fault of the cell phone's connection to the tower and not a fault of the P710e. If your cell signal is poor, then the results will be poor. I cannot see how anyone could blame Logitech for that. With regards to the connection between phone and speakerphone, it was rock solid.Portability: This has a small footprint, is easily transportable, does not need power if properly charged and can be placed just about anywhere.Audience response: I had several people approach after the meeting to ask about this unit. They were impressed by its quality, performance and price. They ordered their own sets.I would recommend this item. Its small size and awesome performance make this a great purchase. I carry this to meetings that I am attending and have used it once to assist where the presenter was going to use a cell phone alone as the speaker phone (the hard line was down). This little guy helped tremendously.

I guess I've had this product for about a month now.I've had no problems with it. The Bluetooth link has been solid, the sound quality has been good, and the people I have spoken too have said it sounded fine and have never complained. I speak from about 3 feet away, though, and have never tested further away or with more people in the room. Also, I am in a home environment where it is typically only me making noise.The volume also seems adequate for my needs. I have used this device once for music - Pandora being played on the same phone I talk on. I was outside painting, and I wanted a little music. The device worked fine for that (for a couple hours I think), and that is basically the extent of my off charge / battery / music testing of the device.I don't like that the device turns itself off when on charge and if it hasn't received a sound from the phone in a while. Its saving grace is the fact that if you get a call and the device is off (but paired to the phone), you cut it back on and it instantly answers.I have the same complaints as some others as far as the button placement is concerned. I haven't mistakenly "fat fingered" multiple buttons yet, but it's bound to happen. The touch sensitive buttons are nice, but waay too close together - particularly the mute and hang-up buttons. I noticed this before purchasing the device, and decided to chance it. I do not regret it. It's not a breaker.So to summarize, it's been great so far. I am hard pressed to give anything 5 stars unless its basically perfect, so right now I'm knocking one off one star specifically because of button placement and the fact that the device turns itself off automatically after a period of time with no sound coming from the phone, even on charge. Off charge, that is to be expected - on charge, it should not cut itself off.
