2 out of 5 stars Great speaker.... terrible Microphone.......2007-09-21

I've used the Polycom 300 for about 6 months now and my experience has been very mixed. The sound from the speaker is great. However, everyone I speak to with this phone complains that my voice sounds like I'm talking from inside a sea-shell or a tin can.

They have trouble hearing me and I find that I have to hold my head about 10 inches from the mic in order to be heard clearly. People hate talking to me when I'm on this phone.

Unlike the digital polycom units, this one doesn't have external microphone inputs... so there's really no way to remediate the poor sound with a better microphone.

It is what it is.

My recommendation would be to consider other products before this one - or at the very least, wait for the price to go way down.

2 out of 5 stars Not exactly as advertised.......2007-06-16

Three of us had to huddle very close to the speaker to be heard by the folks on the conference call. Not even close to an excellent product.

5 out of 5 stars Phone lives up to Polycom reputation.......2007-06-01

I work from home on a regular basis and this product solved the problem of not having a good solution for conducting conference calls from my home office. As stated in the literature, it doesn't pick up past about 7 feet from the phone but I actually think that is a good thing since any possible background noise (i.e. dog barking in another room) doesn't come across the call and distract the participants. Great phone and great buy. Highly recommended for small conf table or home office use.

5 out of 5 stars excellent conference phone for office meeting.......2007-05-13

It is well constructed, good looking, and has excellent voice quality. Very suitable for office meetings with 3-5 participants. Also, it is not too big, and will save space for your desk :)

2 out of 5 stars No different than mainstream cheap phones.......2005-07-08

This phone was WAY under my expectations based on my experience with the SoundStation at work. This phone was as bad as the junker i've had in my closet for years that cost no more than $30 at WalMart.

My main complaints:
* I was frequently told that I sounded like I was in a tunnel.
* The initial part of what I said when I spoke was clipped.
* And the phone would chirp every few minutes for no apparent reason.

Do not waste your money on this phone.

3 out of 5 stars Good conference phone, but ..........2005-02-24

I got this conference phone at a good price. It is quite expensive for home use.

Pro:
* It can be loud.
* When someone in the house pick up the phone, it makes a short beep. Great for monitoring.
* Cord is long. Great when you want to extend to other table.
* Got a RCA jack if you want to record it.

Con:
* It does sound like you are inside a big tunnel. Isnt all speakphone like this? Who can tell the difference if both are using it.
* Too expensive.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent for office conferences........2004-06-05

I use it for my SOHO and it works great. I do not understand who other users have posted negative comments on this product. It works great, the sound quality is pretty good for the price. Soundstation with mics is better, but also three times as expensive.

1 out of 5 stars Don't waste your time.......2004-05-28

I purchased this phone thinking it was similar to the SoundStation 100, the difference being this one is newer, sleeker, and cheaper... I was wrong.

The sound quality is terrible. I could not hear a person speaking from a handset without clipping. When I spoke, others said it sounded like I was in a tunnel, or very far from the mic. This was in a room about 10x12. They said it is for small rooms... Like a closet perhaps?

I am going to step up to the SoundStation 100... Which has much better reviews. I'll review it there...

2 out of 5 stars Step up to SoundStation.......2003-07-28

I bought this phone hoping it would be similar in quality to the polycom soundstation phones we use at work. It was not.

When I use the phone, I often cannot hear the first half sentence of the other party when they begin speaking. They complain that I sound like I am in a huge room, and can't hear me if I get more than a foot from the unit.

I am most disappointed.

1 out of 5 stars After 8' it's useless.......2007-04-02

We did a conference call with 12 people sitting along a rectangle table and this in the middle, the people at the other end could not hear anyone on my side if they were more than 6' away from this phone. I actually had to have people get up and change chairs in order to talk to the person on the other end.

The range on this phone is supposed to be three times what we were able to get, and that was with males that have good voice projection, not whispering kids, if anyone is wondering if it was a fair trial.

Definitely would not recommend it to anyone who's meeting table is longer than 8'!

Polycom is the Cadillac of conference phones, and the VoiceStation 300 model in no exception. Perfect for small- or home-office environments. Best in class; worth every penny.
