The build quality is impressive, featuring a combination of premium materials that give it a sturdy feel. The touch-sensitive controls on the top panel are intuitive and responsive with visual feedback allowing for easy volume adjustments, call management, and activation of virtual assistants.
Audio Quality
One of the standout features of the Jabra Speak2 75 is its exceptional audio quality and the ability to let you see at a glance how well your voice is being picked up, at all times, wherever you are in the room. This is thanks to its custom-designed Microphone Quality Indicator. The speaker delivers clear and crisp sound, making it ideal for both voice calls and multimedia presentations. The full-duplex technology ensures that conversations flow naturally, with minimal lag or distortion. The omnidirectional microphone with noise-cancellation capabilities further enhances the clarity of your voice while minimising background noise – a crucial aspect for effective remote communication.

With Bluetooth 5.0, USB A and USB C, you can seamlessly connect the speaker to your laptop, smartphone, or tablet.

Battery Life
Battery life is a key consideration for portable devices, and the Jabra Speak2 75 doesn’t disappoint. Jabra boasts that it can go wirelessly up to 32 hours of battery life but with testing I found that it averaged around 11 hours of talk time on a single charge. This is plenty to get through even a workday of back to backs.

So whether you prefer to jump on Microsoft Teams, Google Meet or Zoom, you can rely on seamless plug-and-play connectivity and reliably brilliant meetings right from the get go.
