About this deal

Duplex audio technology is a game changer. If you’re not familiar with Duplex Audio, it means that two people can talk at the same time. Whether you’ve got an internal team meeting or having a discussion with a client – if you were having a chat in person the conversations would ebb and flow. The Evolve2 55 allows for a completely natural conversation, not cutting anyone off when another tries to speak. Paired with the acoustic echo-cancellation and voice-normalization technology to regulate loud or soft speakers, no matter what the acoustics of the room, the conversation will always sound crystal-clear. 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. With the Jabra Speak2 range, users can rely on seamless plug-and-play connectivity, so they can focus on what matters most; hosting professional and reliable meetings. For those who like choice, use the USB cable for a direct line with the Speak2 40 or go wireless with the Speak2 75 or Speak2 55. Plug-and-play for ease of use, with Jabra Speak2 55 boasting up to 12 hours of wireless battery life 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.

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. The boxing for the Jabra Speak2 55 is artfully simple. A small but sturdy cardboard box sourced from sustainable sources with no soft plastic to be found. The device is safely nestled in a fabric pouch and is completely self contained. There has clearly been a lot of thought put into the environmental impact and design aesthetic of the boxing that I deeply appreciate. 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.

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. 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.

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. In addition, this speakerphone includes an advanced full range 65mm speaker, offering a dramatically more powerful audio experience and ultimately resulting in much more efficient and productive meetings. 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.

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. 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.

If we’re being completely honest, when carrying out testing, this is where we saw the biggest difference. The sound quality and clarity, both coming out of the speaker and when receiving the sound on the other end was a drastic upgrade on the original Speak range.

Designed to work with all leading virtual meeting platforms, like Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and Zoom 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.. Hybrid work has shifted the way we meet, with 80% of all meetings now being either fully remote or hybrid*. The new Speak2 range is engineered specifically to meet the need for an intelligent speaker that is built to handle anything a busy hybrid working day throws at you – from conference meetings and direct calls, to streaming media, presentations and more.

Jabra Speak2 range features advanced full duplex audio, creating natural 2-way conversation, as if everyone speaking was there in person

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. With the Jabra Speak2 range, users can be sure to rely on seamless plug-and-play connectivity, so users can focus on what matters most; hosting professional and reliably brilliant meetings. For those who like choice, use the USB cable for a direct line with the Speak2 40 or go wireless with the Speak2 75 or Speak2 55. Als je geen Microsoft Teams als UC-client gebruikt, raden we aan de standaard UC-variant te nemen, die voor de belangrijkste UC-platforms is gecertificeerd, zoals Google Meet, Zoom, en dergelijke.
