AnkerWorkSR500 By Anker Conference Speaker and Microphone with Deep Learning, 8 Mics, 48 kHz, Connect 5 Speakerphones in Daisy Chain, AI Noise Cancellation, Pickup in Conference Rooms Up to 45 People

It is exactly what it claims to be and do and beyond. Have been using it for conference calls and meetings. Great range! Easy to use.

We have struggled to find a good solution for our large conference room (seats 45 people) for over 10 years. We have installed multiple complicated systems, some costing as much as $60,000, but none of the systems worked as intended. The main challenge we have experienced is callers on the other end being able to clearly hear the speaker in this conference room. The conference room is challenging because our building is right next to a highway, so there is a lot of background noise that most microphones can’t handle. These speakers work phenomenally, I have 3 linked speakers around the room and the caller can hear the speaker from anywhere in the room as clearly as if they were in the room. The AI noise reduction cuts all the highway noise out completely, and the fact that you can link multiple units together means that EVERYONE in the room can be heard, even if they’re not right next to the microphone. Having the microphone on the table means that our participants don’t need to talk toward the ceiling or anywhere non-natural. I can’t speak highly enough of this product. Thank you Anker for making such high quality products. We plan to use these in every conference room in our company.

We had a really small meeting room. yet a computer speaker is not enough for the meeting requirement.so, I am tasked to buy a compact speakerphone for our tiny conference room.look at this simple task, I got tons of choices of inexpensive speakerphones on the market that can achieve the task.Yet, my boss has to bang his head and come up with this idea of future proof. kept talking about what happened if we later had a bigger conference room. and we had to consider the feedback loop if we bring in another speakerphone.so, then the simple task becomes much more difficult as I am no sound engineer.after some consultation with friends of "sound expert", fingers crossed. I am starting to look at speakerphones with link capability. and it is amazingly hard to find.eventually, I found this in this Anker device from mountains of devices with similar capabilities.this speakerphone does support linking up to five devices so we can later extend to a 20-person meeting room from our current 5-people one. so we don't have to worry about the feedback loop between devices in the same room.phew...., mission complete.after hooking this device up, the sound quality is pretty good. clear and load.and the sound effect is very soft not unlike other crapy speakers that come with crispy sound effects just to achieve the loud conference effect.I can totally use this new meeting room as my after-work movie theater now. ;)

My use case:I support small businesses with their technology needs. This device is perfect for those budget-conscious organizations. I have tested six inexpensive conference room systems and ten stand-alone speakers. All 3k and blow price range and this line of speakers has had the most positive reaching from my clients.Speaker sound quality:Ensuring you size the Anker conference device appropriately. The sound quality is superb. These devices can easily fill the room with sound without maximizing the volume. During my testing, I maxed the volume to check the sound quality. I did not notice any clipping or distortion. When I tested in a 24-person conference room. I did not see the need to install the second device for sound quality.Mic check:The mic quality is on par when compared to other conference systems. The microphone can pick up the speaker while filtering out the background noise. This is true for both the small, medium, and large units. Anker's product line is far superior to stand-alone conference speaker/mic devices. In larger rooms using the daisy chain design helps improve sound quality, which is a functionality unique to these types of devices. Again, my clients have raved about the great sound quality of these devices.

I purchased this for use at my hospice office for our virtual meetings so every could hear the staff that are calling in for the meeting. After multiple attempts to get this product to work at our office , I gave up and returned the product. The instructions were not the best and we could not get the product to connect to our phones. I would not recommend.

We ordered two speakers which we planned to daisy chain together for a room that can have up to 20 people in a meeting. The first unit gave an error message on a couple of different computers "Unrecognized USB Device". We tried again a day later and it was recognized. We tested it and it seemed to work great. Then we tried it again about an hour later to demonstrate it to others, and got the "Unrecognized Device" error again. Tried on another computer with the same result. So, we are returning it. We tested the second unit and didn't get any error messages and it seems to work well. We are going to see if the single unit handles our conference room before reordering a second unit. It seems to be able to pick up sound from a good distance, but we don't know how it will be with a group of people in a meeting room setting and others on the conference call yet. Really disappointing that the Plug 'n Play for the first unit failed. Expected better from Anker.

I have a home office. It picks up good for meetings, regular phone calls.The noise canceling is great. I can play music in the room during meetings and no one can hear the music. Check the YouTube reviews also.Expensive, I have the S3 also, I should have bought my more of these regardless of price.

Works well for a conference room of 10. Simple set-up
