There is no static, but still has that echo of a speaker phone. Perhaps you don't get what you pay for. Purchased this item for use in home office. I am disappointed because the system is very expensive.
There is a lower cost model available that does not have the display.but I highly recommend the extra cost because the display makes it all the much better.When initially installed I ran about 5-10 tests with various people and at various times of the day due to the different amounts of background noise.I can say that all tests said that they could hear me clearly and that it sounded just like a regular phone call. Headsets, to me, are cumbersome and thus I finally decided to invest in the Polycom.Setup is fairly easy.its like plugging in a regular land line telephone.Using this model is also easy because it has the display that shows you what you are dialing, etc. Most of these STAR conference phones are found in corporate environments.but this one is perfect for small office/home office use.Keep in mind.Polycom is the sole manufacturer of devices like this.even if they are branded by other companies such as Cisco.etc.Excellent product, worthy of 5 Stars. HI All.This was purchased for a home office where there was a need for a regular amount of conference calls. The home office is on the noisy side with a regular amount of activity in the background. Polycom has some of the best noise canceling features in the business and those exact features are in this device.
best price i could find on unit, works great - my coworkers are much happier conference calling with our remote site team. i occationally use it to call mom while cooking.
In short, it's worth every penny. The speaker delivers tone depth that can't be found on consumer-grade speakerphones, allowing a more natural sounding conversation.
You could also save a bit of money if you get the version without the helpful LCD screen. It also dampens the echo acoustics of large, open room.
The microphone reaches across large conference table, serving as many as an 8 without any difficulty at all. This is a great stand-alone device; you can opt for the expandable version if you wish to add outboard microphones.
The Polycom brand is know for its excellence for business, and this item doesn't disappoint. We needed the features of a business conference phone including extraordinary sound clarity, both at the receiver and microphone.
Its really easy to install too--just plug it into any regular phone jack--just make sure you have a power outlet near the same jack or you'll be running extra cords across the floor.
