Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Logitech QuickCall USB Speakerphone
Customer Review: Incredible bargain
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this a week ago because I spend all day on the phone on teleconferences and got tired even of the USB headset I was wearing. This is much better.
The picture doesn't give you a good feel for the size of the device -- it's much bigger than you would think, about the size of a large paperback book. The construction quality is excellent. The audio quality, both speaking and listening, is nearly perfect. Nobody on the other end of the calls even knows I'm on a speakerphone. The features I like best are the volume knob on the front of the unit, and the mute button on top. It's really nice not having to futz around with Skype's UI for these.
The only complaints I have are minor. First complaint is that you *must* install drivers for this thing to work (Win XP, haven't tried Win7 yet); if you plug it in without installing drivers, you get a bunch of audio devices installed by XP that are labeled "disabled" and there's no way to enable them. Annoyance: apparently Logitech does not offer the driver software for download on their web site. You have to install from the CD, which at least gives you the option of searching for a newer version. It did find a newer version, downloaded it, and installed from the new version.
Second complaint is that the "hang up" button does not seem to do anything in Skype. Not sure whose issue this is, but it would be great to be able to use the buttons on the speakerphone for this. Oh well. Skype's "hang up" button works just fine.
Overall, this is a stellar product. It looks like Logitech may have discontinued them, so get one now, while you can (and while they're cheap!).
