The Jabra Speak2 75 is a premium portable speakerphone that’s ideal for video conferencing, phone calls or simply listening to music or watching a movie.
Last month Danish audio company Jabra announced a new range of premium speakerphones designed for home and office use, as well as life on the road when you might need to set up an impromptu conference call or Zoom meeting with up to six colleagues.
The all-new Jabra Speak2 75 is a direct competitor to the best-selling EPOS SP30T speakerphone that has established itself as a premium portable speakerphone in the past few years. The Jabra Speak2 75 is tapping into a market that has grown recently as more of us adopt hybrid working. In fact, according to Jabra’s 2022 Hybrid Ways of Working Global Report, 80% of all meetings are now conducted remotely or as a mixture of in-person and online.
The phenomenal growth in hybrid meetings has convinced Jabra to develop its new Speak2 range of intelligent speakerphones, which can be used for conference meetings, direct phone calls, streaming media, making presentations or even listening to music or watching a movie when the day’s work is done.
To date, some nine million speakerphones have been sold worldwide and Jabra hopes to carve out a dominant position in a swiftly expanding market. The company claims its new Speak2 range offers higher-quality audio in a form factor that’s both mobile and futureproof.
I recently had a chance to get my hands on a sample of the flagship Jabra Speak2 75 model and my first impressions are that this is a superb premium device that exceeds the build quality and finish of the evergreen EPOS SP30T, which is beginning to look a little dated.
The Jabra Speak2 75 is about the size of an ice hockey puck out of the box. It’s finished in black anodized aluminum and has a finely woven speaker grille made from sustainable material. A circular ring around the speaker grille hides LED symbols illuminating when the Jabra Speak2 75 is turned on. On the underside of the speakerphone, a fixed USB cable winds around the base for traveling.
You don’t have to use the USB cable to connect the speakerphone to a computer as the Jabra Speak2 75 includes a Bluetooth receiver.
