It also has four beamforming microphones with the same noise-reduction technology as the Speak2 55. Jabra says the Speak2 75 has "super-wideband audio" and a microphone quality indicator that detects how well the microphones are picking up your voice. Alas, the USB-C version of the dongle is currently backordered, so only the USB-A version is available. It also includes a Bluetooth USB dongle for more reliable wireless connectivity with computers. The two biggest differences between this model and the Speak2 55 are the size of the drivers - 65mm versus 50mm - and the Speak2 75's superior battery life (it's rated for 32 hours in wireless Bluetooth mode, much more than the 12 hours you get with the Speak2 55). (It does feel more substantial than the Speak2 55.) Like the Speak2 55, this model comes with a felt carrying case and an integrated USB-C cable with a USB-A adapter for connecting the speaker directly to computers. It's larger than the Speak2 55 (see above) but still portable, weighing in at 466 grams or 16.44 ounces. The Speak2 75 is Jabra's new-for-2023 flagship speakerphone. Not surprisingly, you get better sound with the larger and more expensive Speak2 75).
It's acceptable for casual listening but there just isn't a lot of bass. You can use the Speak2 55 to listen to music, but don't expect great sound quality. It's equipped with four beamforming noise-cancelling microphones with background noise reduction technology (people I was conversing with said my voice sounded clear) and I thought the sound output was better than that of the Anker PowerConf S500, which retails for a little more. While it offers Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity, it doesn't come with a USB Bluetooth dongle to plug into your PC for more reliable wireless connectivity with computers. The relatively compact Speak2 55 comes with a nice felt carrying case and is fairly lightweight, weighing in at 280 grams (9.88 ounces), making it easy to slip into a bag and carry around for conference calls on the go.
I like how Jabra has redesigned the new models, giving them a sleeker, cleaner look, and all the models include an integrated USB-C cable with a USB-A adapter that allows you to plug the speaker directly into a Mac or Windows PC. That's said, it may be overkill for some people and is also pricey. (It's the same size and both the Speak2 40 and Speak2 50 have 50mm drivers.) The Speak2 75 is the flagship model and offers the best sound quality and substantially better battery life in wireless Bluetooth mode - 32 hours compared to 12 for the Speak2 55.
The Speak2 55 is the middle model in the line up and only slightly more expensive than the Speak2 40, which I haven't tried yet, but it seems similar.
Jabra's has revamped its speakerphone line up for 2023, adding three new redesigned models that will eventually replace its earlier Speak 410, 510 and 710.
