Anker PowerConf S330 USB Speakerphone for Home Office, Plug and Play

This is a great microphone/speaker for a home office. I recently changed my home office set up to have my laptop closed while using monitors, but that causes my computers microphone and speakers to be blocked and muffled. I don’t like using headphones unless I have too, and this speaker/microphone was the perfect solution. I have long used anker products, and have come to expect reliable, stylish, and functional products. This anker product does not disappoint. The speaker gets more than loud enough, and the sound quality is clear. Everyone at work I have asked said my microphone quality is crystal clear on this while using this product. My work computer has a lot of security on it so I assumed I would have to mess around with a ton of setting for this to work, but was pleasantly surprised to find it worked immediately and automatically switched my microphone input and audio output to the anker speaker/microphone. It also works seamlessly with Microsoft teams, and the mute and volume buttons on the speaker trigger the teams microphone/volume functions, which is amazing. I also like the corded connection, as there is no need to worry about battery life. The speaker is also compact, which is great for travel. 10/10

Tt has exceeded my expectations! The setup was effortless with its plug-and-play functionality, and the sleek design looks great in my home office. The sound quality is outstanding, with clear audio and effective noise cancellation, making my conference calls much more productive. The touch-sensitive controls are intuitive and responsive, adding to the overall convenience. This speaker has truly enhanced my virtual meeting experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable and high-quality conference speaker!

Since I work from home and spend a good chunk of my day in meetings, having a quality conference speaker was a must for me. I’m not a big fan of using headphones when I’m in my own space, and this speaker works so well—plus, it gets pretty loud, so I don’t have to crank the volume all the way up just to hear everyone clearly, unlike with headphones.

If you are looking at this, you are probably also looking at their slightly higher end product, the S3. I actually own an S3 and have been using it constantly for almost a year. I really like it, and it is definitely a step up from this product in several ways (bluetooth, wireless power, 6 microphones instead of 4, better speaker, can charge your phone if necessary.) If you want a single device that you can use both for zoom/teams calls with your laptop AND with your cell phone, that is the one you want, not this one. But there are two ways this product is better. (1) It is a bit cheaper, and (2) it weighs a lot less. It's not necessarily designed to be carried around, but it definitely weighs noticeably less than the S3. I also like the button placement on this one slightly more than the S3, you are less likely to accidentally hang up the call with this one when you hit the mute button. I bought this thing to leave in the office so I wouldn't have to keep lugging the S3 back and forth, because it is frankly kind of heavy in my bag. In my setup the laptop stays closed when I am in the office, so I needed some kind of external speaker and microphone, and this fits the bill cost-effectively. It is good enough for zoom meetings. But it is less of an upgrade from my laptop microphone/speakers than the S3.

Nice little unit. Great sound after getting it tuned in. Deep rich sound, cleans background noise really well. I have mine mounted nearly vertical so the speaker and mic are pointing right at me, and that was what made the mic sound 100 times better. Well worth the cost.

First off, I chose this model specifically because it is wired. I have seen coworkers use wireless models that had unacceptable latency issues and I did not want to deal with charging or pairing. It connects right away to your phone or your laptop with USB C and includes an adapter to USB A. The control buttons are a nice touch. I use this with my laptop in a conference rooms at work with 5-10 people present in the room and several more on call and it works flawlessly. The multiple microphones ensure that everybody can be heard. I use it with my phone at home whenever I need to pull other family members into a call or host a zoom meeting. The phone audio quality is great. Very clear.

It is great when it works, clear sound, gets loud enough and people say I sound good. The issue is, it only works about 50 percent of the time when trying to use with MS Teams. On 3 devices I have tested, and I just have to unplug and plug this back in. It happens way to much to where it is not reliable.

I have a Lenovo laptop I use for work from home days. The internal speakers are poor to say the least. I had tried connecting a small bluetooth speaker, but the connectivity was not consistent or reliable. I bought the Anker speaker and it solved my problems. Super easy to use: I just plugged into my laptop port and my laptop automatically detected it and now defaults to it (including Zoom). You can mute, control volume or hang up directly on the Anker. Buttons are large and easy to see and operate. Now I have crystal clear sound and don't have to rely on earbuds or the lackluster laptop speakers.

Habe den Lautsprecher gekauft, in der Hoffnung er würde die eierlegende Wollmilchsau für mich sein. Und tatsächlich kommt er dem verdammt nahe. Mein neuer PC Monitor hat leider keinen Lautsprecher, also musste eine kleine und über USB funktionierende Lösung her. Über Umwege kam ich auf den Konferenzlautsprecher von Anker, der nicht als klassischer Lautsprecher vermarktet wird. Ich mache es aber kurz: +++ Der Lautsprecher sieht super aus, ist toll verarbeitet und kompakt, liegt daher unauffällig unter meinem Monitor. +++ Er wird einfach per USB Kabel mit dem PC verbunden und ist direkt einsatzbereit, eine separate Stromquelle ist dabei nicht erforderlich. +++ Es gibt sehr gute und zahlreiche Mikrofone, Konferenzen sind dadurch erheblich angenehmer +++ Toll zu erreichende und leuchtende Tasten auf der Vorderseite ++ Überraschend gute Lautstärke sowie Qualität auch für Musik etc. (Der Größe entsprechend) + Preis ist in meinen Augen fair Ein überraschender Einsatzzweck ist bei mir das Gaming, ihr dürft ruhig lachen. Ich bin Gelegenheitsspieler und hasse es Headsets zu tragen. Da kam es bei der Kommunikation mit meinen Freunden häufiger zu doppeltem Sound etc., Ihr wisst wahrscheinlich was ich meine. Mit diesem Lautsprecher gehört das der Vergangenheit an, ich höre den Spielsound, ich höre meine Kumpels, sie hören mich. Alles total klar und ohne Audiofehler etc. Die Mikrofone und die Software machen da einen wirklich guten Job, Mausgeräusche etc. werden ebenfalls rausgefiltert. Der große Nachteil beim Gaming ist es halt, dass es nur einen Lautsprecher gibt und man im Spiel daher links und rechts nicht allzu direkt orten kann. Für mich aber nicht so schlimm, Gelegenheitsspieler halt. Ich hätte mir lediglich gewünscht, dass das USB C Kabel nicht direkt mit dem Lautsprecher verbunden ist. Sollte dieses Kabel Mal einen Defekt haben, so muss man das ganze Teil wegwerfen, finde ich schade. Ein USB Anschluss am Lautsprecher hätte auch den angenehmen Vorteil, dass man gleich an längeres Kabel z.b. ein Handykabel hernehmen könnte, um den PC zu erreichen. Man wäre hier einfach flexibel gewesen. Alles in allem erfüllt der Anker Konferenzlautsprecher alle meine Wünsche. Ich kann problemlos von zu Hause aus an Konferenzen teilnehmen mit einer sehr zuverlässigen und tollen Audioqualität. Ich kann Videos, Filme schauen, auch Musik hören, wenn es denn Mal sein muss. Und ich kann gelegentlich zocken und mit meinen Freunden sprechen, ohne das ich ein Headset brauche oder ich Tonprobleme etc. habe. 5 von 5

Awesome product. Sound quality and mic pickup are excellent. Compact size makes it ideal for my home office.

I use this compact USB conference speaker for Teams calls in my home office. I wanted something that would let me speak naturally without wearing a headset for several hours, and this has made a noticeable difference. Setup was simple. I connected it to my computer, selected it as the microphone and speaker, and it worked without installing anything. Voices sound clear and natural, and colleagues have said they can hear me properly even when I sit back from the desk. The mute button is easy to find without looking down, which is useful during busy meetings, and the unit feels heavier and better made than I expected. It is designed for speech rather than music. Podcasts sound fine, but music lacks depth and bass compared with a proper desktop speaker. That is the only real drawback I have found. For regular work calls, I find it reliable, clear, and much more comfortable than a headset. I would buy it again for a dedicated office setup.

Hautparleur bien reconnu sur port USB. Très bonne qualité du son.

świetny głośnik konferencyjny, jakość rozmów i wygoda użytkowania ponad oczekiwania, świecące kontrolki dotykowe także pomocne, np w teams spisuje się wyśmienicie, zakładanie słuchawek za każdym razem odeszło w zapomnienie - zadowolony
