I purchased a VoiceStation 300 for my home office in order to do business conference calls, and had to return it no more than 10 days later. People on the other end couldnt hear me unless I was inches away from the speakers, and my voice was constantly breaking up because the unit was picking up ambient noise from the heating system in the room. I was very disappointed in the performance of this product.

While the full duplexing allows for conversations where both parties can speak at once, the microphone on this isnt very good. It makes the speakers voice sound tinny and grating. The speaker is very good, though.

Ive 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 Im 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 Im on this phone.
Unlike the digital polycom units, this one doesnt have external microphone inputs... so theres 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.

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.

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 doesnt 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) doesnt come across the call and distract the participants. Great phone and great buy. Highly recommended for small conf table or home office use.

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 :)
