Voicestation 300 Analog Conference Phone Reviews
I think if it was more centrally located in the meeting room it would have had better results. I did not set it up, I was the remote user. The use of the product was for a medium sized room. But, it did its job with no problems. The attendees speaking up would have also helped.
The sound is crisp, as it is for all polystation products, operation is simple, and the price-benefit relation is very good. We are using a couple of these units for more than 6 months, with a great level of satisfaction. The Voicestation 300 is a good option for enabling conference on small-to-medium meeting rooms.
People on the other end couldn't hear me unless I was inches away from the speakers, and my voice was constantly breaking up because the unit was picking up ambient noise from the heating system in the room. I purchased a VoiceStation 300 for my home office in order to do business conference calls, and had to return it no more than 10 days later. I was very disappointed in the performance of this product.
It makes the speaker's voice sound tinny and grating. The speaker is very good, though. While the full duplexing allows for conversations where both parties can speak at once, the microphone on this isn't very good.
so there's really no way to remediate the poor sound with a better microphone. It is what it is. Unlike the digital polycom units, this one doesn't have external microphone inputs. The sound from the speaker is great. My recommendation would be to consider other products before this one - or at the very least, wait for the price to go way down. They have trouble hearing me and I find that I have to hold my head about 10 inches from the mic in order to be heard clearly.
People hate talking to me when I'm on this phone. I've used the Polycom 300 for about 6 months now and my experience has been very mixed. However, everyone I speak to with this phone complains that my voice sounds like I'm talking from inside a sea-shell or a tin can.
