How is sound quality for phone calls, when using as speakerphone? I am a newspaper reporter with poor hearing and I use an Iphone5 now, on a Ped3 stand, plugged into generic computer speakers. Works pretty well, but not as clear as it could be and some callers comment on the speakerphone effect on their end. How is sound quality for phone calls, when using as speakerphone?

In my opinion, it isn't really designed for phone calls. First, the mic is on a back of speakers and duality of sound is lower for phone, than for music.At least for my Motorolla phone. But for listening music it is great.

Very nice sound as a speakerphone. I was very impressed with this feature. Mine exceeded expectations as a speakerphone. Mic sensitivity is excellent and sound is very full, compared to speakerphone on mobile phone.

I have used this in a car while driving and I found it worked fine, people could understand me, I could hear them and I only had to press one button to answer and hang up, it's a cheap alternative for an old car that has no modern stuff at all!

Kim, the sound quality is above average. I am pleased with aspect of the telephone as well.

People tell me that I sound "normal" to them for a cell phone call. And, yes they can hear in noisy environments. I use mine more for listening to music from my iPhone. It's great not having wires hanging and yet still getting a decent sound. Also, the "tapping" works well to activate features such as forward to next song etc.

When my iphone 5 is paired with this and a call comes in, my phone gives me options about how I want to answer it. (Bluetooth speakers or iphone). I have never tried doing anything on the speakers themselves for a phone call. There may be some kind of setting/option on your phone, regardless of what brand, that you can set to default phone calls to the phone instead of the paired bluetooth device? I hope that's helpful!

All 4 phones I have are fine for sound, and the answering machine part is clear. You can make it louder or lower for sound. I find the people calling me, especially on cell phones, that don't come in clear. It depends on where they are for good reception.

if it is plugged in to the phone and you get a call you can hear the caller over the speaker, but it does not have a microphone...you would have to talk into the microphone that is on the phone...just the same as if you had your cell phone on speaker mode when you answer a call

The speaker phone is in the handset. This is a good phone for hearing-it cups your ear a bit so it doesn't pick up much background noise.

We haven't used it for conference calls so I can't speak to that, but the sound quality is alright when using the speakerphone.

Where does your audio come from? You can put it near a speaker to record that. When I want to record something on speakerphone, I take it out of my ear and lay it on the telephone speaker. It records that well and also records my voice if I speak out loud into the speakerphone. If the online training is on your PC, couldn't you record the audio directly?

In actuality the speaker phone was totally defective as the caller could not hear anyone speaking on my end.The sound quality within the handset was adequate despite some echo which was a result of the shape of the handset in my opinion.Hope that helps,Eric

Hi Jon, I'am using the Soaiy on two I-phone 4. It is very easy to connect to the blue tooth of the phone. My only issue was the tiny speaker and speech was distorted at higher volumes. So since I work on undercover police vehicles; I took Soaiy apart and disconnected the wires from the tiny speaker and connected to a external covert speaker. Now it sounds great. The speaker being away from the mic also helps because a lot of times people use to tell me I sounded like I was in a tunnel. For the price and a little modification this turned out to be a great piece of equipment. I hope this helps you. My wife and I surly enjoy ours. Anthony.

I haven't tried to use the speaker as a speaker phone, so I'm not sure. You'd probably be able to hear your caller through the speaker, but that's about it. It doesn't have a microphone port (at least I haven't seen one), so I doubt you'll be able to have a two way conversation using the speaker. I'll have to check to make sure though, I'll update you if I find out more. Thanks for your question.

not sure but the earbuds are not great. The block all the outside sound, which includes your own voice. So when you are speaking on the phone, you have no idea how loud you are speaking. Go with the apple headsphones instead, the music quality may not be quite as good but 100X more practical for phone use.

You can make and answer calls in speaker mode. It is pretty low volume to hear so may have trouble if in a place with lots of noise. I usually just play music which is great sound quality so not sure this case is for you.

I have used the speakerphone for many conf calls with multiple participants in the room, and I have not had any issues with people up to 10 ft away (could go farther, but I haven't tried it). The only caveat is that there can't be too much ambient noise. The only time I had a problem was when the speakerphone was next to a noisy projector fan. Once we moved it from next to the fan, the call quality was very clear on both ends. The other (perhaps obvious) point I'll make is it will not amplify a "low-talker" or very soft-voiced person in the room. Probably no surprise, but I don't want to give the wrong impression. In general, I would say I am very pleased with the product and would recommend it.

On the first set I had (that I returned) the speakerphone was fine and static-free when the handset wasn't, and it's also fine on the 2nd (properly working) phone. Haven't tried speaker volume, so can't comment on that (and the phone's not here). Line powered.

I just checked it by calling my sis. It does work on phone calls but NOT with the iphone speaker phone turned on. It also works on Siri. To get better quality sound for both your iphone 5 and speaker do the following:On iphone main page touch settings.Scroll down to Music and touch.Touch EQ.Then pick a category to your liking.I have mine set on Bass Booster.Hope all of this helps you. I really like this speaker.
