I have used many Plantronic's products in the past and have always been more than pleased with them. Which is why when I saw this device I ordered it right away. As someone that is on the phone a lot I was looking for a GOOD speakerphone for my iPhone, specifically with Bluetooth. The size of this device is perfect, it is well built and comes with a nice neoprene case. It paired with my iPhone and Mac with no trouble whatsoever. Sound quality from the speaker was great and vastly superior to the native iphone speaker capabilities. I was using it to play music from my mac as well and while the quality was certainly richer, it's by no means an audiophile quality speaker (not expecting it to be). For music I give it a thumbs up as it is definitely better than the macbook speakers, but there are certainly cheaper alternatives for that. All the buttons worked as advertised and certainly easy to use.Now on to making calls. I hosted a conference call and I was initially impressed with the quality from MY end, it did degrade as the call went on. It sounded good, although I did here a constant clicking almost as if the voice activation part of the microphone was clicking on and off with the pauses in conversation, it wasn't loud but enough to be distracting. I would compare it to sounding like a reasonable but not great quality cell connection. Ok first call done no complaints from the people I was talking to... Next call was a personal call and at the end of the conversation I asked them to rate the sound quality, They said it was clear but distant, I was definitely on a speaker phone but it was acceptable. They gave it a 6 out of 10 on sound quality. And I still had the clicking noise on the call.I powered off the device - repaired it to my iPhone and placed another call. The person I talked to immediately asked me to "take me off speakerphone" -- this is exactly what I didn't want to hear. I switched from the Calisto 620 to the native iPhone speakerphone and the caller replied - ahh thats better thanks for taking me off speaker -- not knowing they still were on the native iphone speaker!Then I tested it for myself -- had some one call me using my phone and the Calisto 620 on another phone just so I could hear it for myself. The native iPhone speaker was considerably less distant sounding. While the call was easy to hear using the speakerphone it definitely had that hollow empty room sound to it as if the person was 5 feet away from the handset - the person had a very distant quality to their voice.So in conclusion this device is not what I was hoping for... I didn't want my callers knowing I was on a speaker phone and was looking for better quality than this device delivered. I could hear THEM much better and that was definitely a plus, but I want the listeners to hear me too...So I am off to find a device that will provide the quality I seek.Jabra SPEAK 510 is my next attempt...

I have the Calisto 620M, and we support both Microsoft Lync and other systems.I like the ability with BlueTooth to be able to put the speaker anywhere and use it. However, the call control buttons do not work with anything but Microsoft Lync, so our idea of supporting a single device on multiple softphone platforms fails with this device. I tried loading the Plantronics driver software as their technical support suggested. After a 2nd call, they confirmed the 620M only works with Lync.The Jabra speakerphone in the Microsoft version works fine with Cisco and others with the driver software, so it fits our universal critera. Unfortunately, it's only wired, not wireless.
