I use my current phone in speaker mode a lot. What is quality (both on my end and the listeners' end) of the speakerphone?

My husband uses the speaker phone option regularly and we have not noticed any difference from when he used the speaker phone with our old land line.

It works well. You can encounter issues when you have your cell phone connected via Bluetooth if your phone is more than about 30 feet from the base unit. For us that is pretty good because we have a floor and multiple walls in between. Without obstruction you could easily get more than 50-60 feet. If your cell phone is close to the base, then it sounds just like a normal phone call over a speaker phone. Generally it is the quality of the cell phone that is more the issue. We live were we are lucky to get more than one bar. Generally the speaker mode of the handset is better than the cell phone in non speaker phone mode much less speakerphone mode. So you shouldn't find issue with speaker phone. I have conducted several conference calls using speakerphone mode over both landline and cellphones using speakerphone mode of the handset.

Although my hearing is going bad, it is not that bad. The volume is adjustable and you should be able to make it loud enough on the handset, in my opinion. We occasionally use the speakerphone feature and also find that to be very loud, but adjustable.

Yes, my phone has a speakerphone function. Plus, I can report that my previous reception problems were solved by moving the base-station away from my computer. The phones work beautifully.

The speakerphone is in the handset, but I although I love this idea, they've never stayed connected via Bluetooth to my phones, maybe they've improved the technology, but I've now bought two different versions and they still don't stay connected.

The speakers are not covered, so the sound quality does not seem to be effected. That said, the sound is somewhat directed. If the sound level is low, and you are listening to music or a podcast, you want to point the bottom of the phone in your general direction, not away from you. At higher sound levels, it doesn't seem to matter much.

Increasing the volume to maximum is like having a speaker phone, it can be very loud. Works extremely well. The phone is a pleasure to use.

The sound quality seems to be great, but the Voice output quality seems to be less than impressive according to the other side of my conversations.

I find the Speaker Phone to be quite adequate; sufficiently loud enough for those with hearing difficulties. The playback on the voice messaging system is not quite as loud, but I believe still adequate.

I can hear fine, and the person I'm talking to never seems to have any problems hearing me. There is difficulty when you have the phone on speaker, the person always complains that they can't hear me, but I can hear them fine. So other than the speakerphone part, the hearing isn't a problem. I also tend to use my Bluetooth headphones whenever I can just because it's convenient and it's a little clearer

The sound quality is definitely affected. The loudspeaker to listen music to is OK but the call sound volume is noticeably quieter. It's not too bad though if your hearing is good. Also check out the Incipio Atlas. Which I found out about after I bought this case. Good luck choosing!

On speaker phone ppl say they can hear themselves talking. But I don't use speaker phone much. And that's the only problem I have ever had! And yea the buttons work great, the case is really tight fit so it's like the phone doesn't even have a screen protector on it! The home button works fine for me.

The BEM speaker is lower volume than my phone. I use a Windows phone. When I am playing music from it, as I recall when a phone call comes in the music stops and the conversation is not heard in the BEM. Your phone may behave differently.

It is not very good I have to keep it on speaker in order to hear, but I am able to turn down the volume, so no one can hear the speaker. Only problem is remember to put it on speaker when calling or receiving a call.

I haven't had any issue with feedback when my husband calls me through the speakers (Samsung GS4). I can't guarantee that results with all phones would be the same. Hope that helps.
