Plantronics CALISTO 5200 USB-A + 3.5 mm Conference Device with Microphone and Speaker, Black

A nice smart looking device. It has an inbuilt cable tidy so that is helpful. I used to use headphones but wanted to be liberated from them for work calls. The feedback has been that I have never sounded clearer on calls. It does not seem to pick up too much excess sound like my chair creaking etc so that is positive. The sound from the speaker is good. If you put it on “mute” it announces “mute on” and “mute off” but does this when the speaker is actually mute so the people on the other end of the line do not hear this announcement ! Easy to use volume control. Very pleased with this purchase so far

I'm teaching at university and have to run so-called hybrid classes: about half of the students are in the room and the other half zoom in from home. This is the perfect toy to enable those on Zoom to participate effectively in class discussions. For a medium size classroom (i.e. up to about 25 students), the speaker is strong enough so that everybody in the room can hear what those on Zoom say, and as long as students in the room are happy to speak up a bit, the mic is sensitive enough to pick up what they say. Hence, for smaller groups of up to 20 students this is perfect (I don't think it would work in larger rooms, but then I guess that has never been the idea anyway).

There’s me, the only one working from home that doesn’t need to lean in to my laptop to speak.I bought this for a really good price as well and it has a great speaker and sound quality.Worth it for those that work from home

Works really well . I have ditched my head set now and work from home making all calls on this device now as I got annoyed with head ware all day.Really good for family calls as well via laptop as everyone in room can be heard without shouting of stressing voice
