What is a Speakerphone? Definition & Uses

1. Home-office-hustling

Working from home shouldn’t impact your ability to communicate clearly with your team — and with Jabra, it doesn’t have to.

Our speakerphones help you take the conference room to your home office, with echo-canceling sound and easy connectivity to your laptop, PC, or Bluetooth-enabled devices.

3. Dining-room-dialing

Take our speakerphone to lunch and enjoy uninterrupted communication with coworkers and clients. Participate in meetings and “wow” them with your ideas when you dial in from your dining room (preferably with a delicious treat waiting for you just off-camera).

With four microphones and noise-cancelling technology, Jabra speakerphone filters out all the background noise—so there’s no need to compete with your neighbor’s lawnmower or barking dogs in the backyard.

5. Boardroom-broadcasting

Elevate your boardroom meetings and impress clients by adding a Jabra speakerphone and conference room camera to your setup. Whether it’s an executive-only call or an all-hands meeting, our speakerphones are designed to capture every voice in the room clearly.

And if you’ve got a coworker or client who can get a little too enthusiastic on calls, then, we’ve got you covered too. Our voice level normalization features ensure that even the loudest voice in the room is adjusted to the same volume on the other end of the call.

Our speakerphones are compact, simple to use, and ready to go straight out of the box.

There’s no SIM card required; to make calls, all you need is a computer or smartphone with Bluetooth or a USB port.

To make setup even more of a snap, Speak2 75’s seamlessly pair to your computer thanks to Google Fast and Microsoft Swift Pair.

With four state-of-the-art beamforming microphones, the Speak2 75 picks up sound from all directions and filters out background noise. All your colleagues will hear is your voice — no distortion or echoing.

Whether you use the USB connection or the built-in Bluetooth receiver for connecting a smartphone, the sound quality of the Jabra Speak2 75 is superb,” Sparrow wrote. “The connection is incredibly robust and has a good range. During my tests, I didn’t notice a single dropout.

Jabra speakerphones are certified for all the leading virtual meeting platforms, including Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and Zoom. With plug-and-play USB connectivity and Bluetooth capabilities, you’ll enjoy smooth, hassle-free setup for every meeting.

“The Jabra Bluetooth dongle provides high-quality wireless communication with super-wideband audio on a desktop or laptop,” wrote Mark Sparrow in his Forbes review of the Jabra Speak2 75.

Our speakerphones’ modern, minimalistic design means they’re compact and durable enough to toss into your bag and take on the road.

Speak2 75 boasts a robust IP64 rating, meaning it's engineered to withstand splashing water and dust, so you can enjoy high-quality calls wherever your work takes you.

Up to 32 hours of wireless use on a single charge? Easy. Even when you’ve got back-to-back calls all day, you can focus on your meetings without worrying about running out of power.

“The Speak2 75 … offers the best sound quality and substantially better battery life in wireless Bluetooth mode,” wrote David Carnoy in his CNET review.

You don’t have to stay right next to your Jabra speakerphone, either. With a 30m Bluetooth range, you’ve got the freedom to roam without missing a minute.
