This is a Microsoft Teams dual microphone Speaker Phone, I found it also did its job with other similar products like Zoom and other platforms.

The speaker phone has two microphones capable of detecting angles up to 1.5 metres away as well as a 50mm quality speaker.

The unit is suitable for rooms around 3x3 metres. It is 18x8x4cm and has a wrap round USB 'A' lead of 72cm length. The controls on the top front are simple and easy to understand. Just four touch buttons volume -, microphones off, volume + and phone connect, if you have this version designed for Microsoft Teams there is a fifth button on the left of the others. You can view a two page .PDF file but my attempts to download the User Guide from poly.com/lens was not allowed by my security software.

The Start Here states there is a User Guide in the box but as things I get to review have often been elsewhere before this could be the reason I did not get one. However I found a rather good video online which not only answered my questions but gave answers to questions I had not thought of.

I lot of recent tablets and the occasional notebook only come with USB 'C' and for these there is a USB 'C' to USB 'A' adapter included in the box.

I only used it with Windows 10 and Windows 11 PC's but it is also stated to work with MAC. Its overall weight is only 280 grams.

The microphone frequency response is stated to be between 100HZ and 7.8kHz, there is also external noise and audio reduction. The loudspeaker range is 80HZ to 20kHz.

Using the POLY Sync 10 as a standard single speaker for music output was also rather good as the range of quality sound with both high and bass covered well. This is often necessary with both notebooks and tablets as they all try to get the thinnest which often means speakers are in the base pointing down which immediately cuts down on output quality.

If you have other POLY products I am told it supports POLY desktop. It is stated to be IP64 dust and water resistant.

The POLY Sync 10 - Microsoft Teams version - is available from Amazon priced at £94.98.
