Kaysuda SP300 Bluetooth/USB Speakerphone

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it was smaller than I anticipated. I guess I could have read the description a little closer and would have known the size, but where is the fun in that? I travel to different customer sites for work, so it is actually a great size to put in my daily bag - although I may want to find a small case for this so it doesn't get beat up in my bag.Super convenient for webinars or conference calls where the speaker and microphone on the laptop just don't cut it. Connects to the computer or phone via Bluetooth, but typically use USB for the computer. Not because of the device, but because I just find Bluetooth on any computer to be touchy - just remember to press the 'Connect' button to turn off Bluetooth or the computer won't recognize it. Didn't even need drivers on Windows 10. Just showed up and took over as speaker and microphone.It's not designed to be hi-fi, but worked well with audio and VoIP apps on my iPhone XS Max - even some background music to add some noise to a quiet office. Same audio quality over USB on my laptop. Changing the volume would trigger the volume LED ring on the device, sort of nice. Made some calls on the laptop with Teams, Skype, all sounded great. Picked up my voice nice and clean even when I wasn't talking directly to it and people heard me fine. Even picked up my dog barking a few rooms away and gave me away that I was working from home! It is a major improvement over a headset or the echo I always get from using the built-in mic on a laptop.Does not support multi-link, so only one Bluetooth device at a time. Be nice to have multiple Bluetooth devices paired at the same time. USB-C opposed to micro-USB would have been nice, but not a huge issue. The buttons are flush to the device so you're not sure you are pressing anything until the LED changes or a voice response comes up. The speakerphone will read out a number when a call comes in, but it's REALLY slow - by the time the whole number would read out, any normal person would hang up. The voice is a fancy British accent if you like those sort of things.Manual is a small little pamphlet with small print, but was able to figure out most everything without referencing it.I mention this since it is sort of funny, the device is printed upside-down (at least to me) on the front of the box. When using I have power button towards the top, but on the box it is at the bottom. Just something silly that missed design review.I like it! Keep finding reasons to use it. Surprised I didn't buy something like this in the past.Picture is next to my iPhone XS Max.

they gave me a new device which seems to work perfectly without the issues I had earlier. Good for them to consider the review and react. thanks...Old :Sometimes, this device doesnt mute even though the display is red.. I had couple of incident that embarrassed me... and volume always start high even though system setting is low.. we have to adjust everytime. but once it is all set, device just works fine.

It is very clear for listening and talking in zoom meetings. Easy hook up and battery last long time. Only drawback is you have to press and hold button to turn on or mute for 3-5 seconds

This device is not easy to use, it is not easy to get it connected and every time you reboot your pc it takes a few tries to get it connected again. Now 9 months later it stopped working.

Positives:a) Its compactness and ease of controlling, Bluetooth connection.b) It came with a nice carrying pouchc) call attendees said the sound quality was good on the other endSome not so positive items:a) Volume, I had to max out the volume, it might be ok for a small room or group (2-5 people).b) not able to daisy-chain to other mics to cover a large room

After several months of use, the device became unresponsive. Since it has an internal battery, and no physical power or reset switch, I asked, in the product question area, how to reset it. The answer was to tap and hold the power and mute controls. (These are not physical switches.) Unfortunately, I had already tried that, but was unable to communicate it in the question because of the character limit imposed in the text entry block. I was able to reset the device by peeling off the rubber ring on the bottom of the unit, removing four small screws, prying the case open, and unplugging the battery. Works again. :)

We had a Sunday School class, and did a Zoom link for those that could not come. We set up the computer at a location where the video could include all those that were in person, but it meant it was distant from where most talking occurred, so it was hard to hear. Putting this speaker/microphone in the middle of the people solved the sound problem. Don’t know how long the battery lasts, we always use it for about 60 minutes and it does not run out of charge.
