Product Information

What's more, if using it on the go you can be sure the 12 hour battery life will last you through the longest days of meetings. If meetings do go on even longer, you have the option of charging directly from your laptop whilst simultaneously using the speaker. With more than 9 million speakerphones sold worldwide, Jabra has long been leading the speakerphone market. Now, giving more power to the speaker than ever before, the Speak2 range is like widescreen audio for your ears, offering mobile and futureproof professional quality sound so all voices can be heard, wherever they may come from. Next generation engineering for each and every voice The speaker comes in a few different color options and has touch controls on the top along with LED lights that indicate whether you're connected via Bluetooth, on a call and whether your microphone is muted. You can also connect directly to your computer with the included USB-C cable -- the speaker charges via USB-C -- and a USB-C to USB-A adapter is included (you can store it in a slot in the base of the speaker, where you'll also find a threaded tripod mount). Battery life is rated at up to 20 hours, and a 10-minute charge gives you two hours of juice. The speaker is splash-proof and dust-resistant with an IP64 rating.

For all meeting participants to not only feel heard, but also listened to, the Speak2 range is engineered to go beyond standard speakerphone performance, and a full duplex audio. This speakerphone allows users who are talking simultaneously to conduct much more natural two-way dialogues, as though each speaker was there in person, without disrupting conversation flow. Finally, we all know that the electronics industry isn’t always the most environmentally friendly. However, Jabra have made a conscious effort towards offering a more sustainable product with over 50% being made with sustainable materials. The speaker drivers remain the same as those in the previous model, but the Qualcomm chipset that powers the speaker has been upgraded (the speaker uses Bluetooth 5.1), bumping the sound quality up a tad, particularly at higher volumes, with better digital signal processing. It remains one of the best-sounding mini Bluetooth speakers, with richer more tonally balanced sound than other Bluetooth speakers its size -- and it should sound good, considering its elevated price point.. Jabra Speak2 range features advanced full duplex audio, creating natural 2-way conversation, as if everyone speaking was there in person The Speak2 55 is the first model in the range to go wireless, after the wired Speak2 40 model. Pressing the one touch Bluetooth button will initiate Jabra’s own voice narration to guide you through the Bluetooth setup. Once paired, this will remember your device and automatically connect if Bluetooth is switched on your laptop or phone. Similar to the Bluetooth functionality, one touch buttons for Microsoft Teams integration, volume control, mute and call control are all easily accessible.

A calming female voice lets you know the state of the battery and if it has been successfully connected to a device. There is also a ring of light surrounding the speaker in a range of clever ways to communicate battery levels, whether a call has been connected or disconnected and if the device is off or on. It definitely feels like every aspect of this device has been crafted with love and passion. Speak2-modellen met Microsoft Teams-certificering ondersteunen Microsoft Teams als een plug-and-play-ervaring. De plug-and-play-ervaring biedt deze voordelen: Previously with the original Speak range there were two different lines for each model. One for USB-A and one for USB-C. However, with the Speak2 they have chosen to install a split USB cable offering both USB-A/C. For a speaker that is used on the go, when users sometimes don’t know what tech will be available in the meeting space, this is a huge improvement.

Copenhagen, February 28, 2023 Jabra, leaders in personal sound and office solutions, today launch the Speak2 range, the newest products in Jabra’s world market-leading Speak line-up of professional speakerphones which include the Speak2 75, Speak2 55 and the Speak2 40. For all meeting participants to not only feel heard, but also listened to, the Speak2 range is engineered to go beyond standard speakerphone performance, providing full duplex audio. This speakerphone allows users who are talking simultaneously to conduct much more natural two-way dialogues, as though each speaker was there in person, without disrupting conversation flow. We are incredibly impressed with the Speak2 55. The design is far sleeker compared to the original Speak range, however the real difference comes in the sound performance. A true upgrade with a host of cutting edge features coupled with the versatility to perfectly suit a small conference room or a home office. This has everything you want in a compact but portable speaker phone. Along with the USB-A connector, it has Bluetooth. A protective carrying case and lanyard are also included. There's also a USB out port for charging a phone. Battery life is rated at up to 20 hours. Voice Level Normalisation technology in each Speak2 speakerphone ensures there’s no need for raised voicesFinally, each Speak2 product is designed to work with all leading virtual meeting platforms, meaning users can participate confidently in calls and meetings from any location, without the worry of poor audio quality or connectivity issues. There’s even no need to be concerned about durability, since all of Jabra’s Speak2 products feature IP64-rated protection from dust and water. I played some music through the speaker and it sounds decent though not great for a compact Bluetooth speaker. As you might expect, it's strongest in the midrange, where vocals live, so it does well with acoustic music. Engineered with super-wideband audio and a full range 65mm speaker, the Speak2 75 guarantees an outstanding audio experience Jabra has been a longstanding leader in the speakerphone market, and has sold more than 9 million speakerphones worldwide. Now, giving more power to the speaker than ever before, the Speak2 range offers mobile and futureproof professional quality sound so all voices can be heard, wherever they may come from. Once it was effectively charged I was easily able to connect it to my computer by both Bluetooth and using the cable. Initially, it was a little difficult to get my computer to use it as both a microphone and a speaker until I installed the device software – Jabra Direct. Once I had updated the firmware everything ran smoothly and I was able to use it as a microphone and speaker in a range of different contexts. The software didn’t really add much functionality to the device but the firmware update is a must for this device.

I would probably like to be able to toggle the noise cancellation function on and off to use it to record sound. However, it is a beautiful device that is perfectly fit for the purpose of its design. I like how Jabra has redesigned the new models, giving them a sleeker, cleaner look, and all the models include an integrated USB-C cable with a USB-A adapter that allows you to plug the speaker directly into a Mac or Windows PC. The relatively compact Speak2 55 comes with a nice felt carrying case and is fairly lightweight, weighing in at 280 grams (9.88 ounces), making it easy to slip into a bag and carry around for conference calls on the go. While it offers Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity, it doesn't come with a USB Bluetooth dongle to plug into your PC for more reliable wireless connectivity with computers.Finally, each Speak2 product is designed to work withall leading virtual meeting platforms, meaning users can participate confidently in calls and meetings from any location, without the worry of poor audio quality or connectivity issues. All of Jabra's Speak2 products feature IP64-rated protection from dust and water, keeping durability at the forefront. All the Jabra Speak2 range speakerphones are plug-and-play, enabling users to focus on their meetings. The entry-level Speak2 40 model uses a wired USB connection, while the Speak2 75 or Speak2 55 models can connect wirelessly over Bluetooth.
