    Anker S500 – Amazing
    I purchased the Anker S500 to use at work, and it paired up almost automatically and the sound quality and build quality is very solid. A little disclaimer about me: I typically like name brands (Jabra, Bose, etc.), and I have always thought of Anker as an “Amazon”-type brand, but – I decided to go with this one because a team member has the same one and he swears buy it. Other people within my team have various portable conference room speaker/mic devices (Jabra, etc.) and hands-down, the S500 is a superior product. 80% of the time, my laptop is glued to my desk with dual 24″ monitors and I use a bluetooth headset, but 20% of the time – I need to work remote and have TEAMS meetings with other people where we need conference room mic/speaker capabilities and up to this point, I have been using the built-in technology of my Dell Latitude (standard corporate issued) setup .. but, the new Anker S500 is loud and the microphone picks up voices while cutting out unwanted background noises (like dogs barking, overhead announcements, etc.). There are many other cheaper choices (and they may be equally as good), but if your budget can afford it, I would recommend the Anker S500. You will not be disappointed at the overall quality (you get what you pay for with this device.)

    Excellent Microphone and Sound
    The Anker PowerConf S500 stands out as one of the best microphones I have utilized for professional purposes. In our practice, a significant number of patient consultations are conducted via telehealth. Thus, securing a microphone capable of capturing voices from two doctors in the room during patient meetings has been a persistent challenge. Previously, our solution involved a complex, hardwired microphone system connected to an amplifier and then to a computer. Although effective, this setup was cumbersome due to the wires involved.The PowerConf S500 has impressively replaced the need for two microphones while enhancing sound quality. Its portability is a major advantage, allowing for flexible placement anywhere in the room to accommodate single or multiple doctors during consultations. Despite its slightly higher price point of approximately $210, the investment is justified by its performance and convenience.

    Great! But needs IT support to set up
    I was going back and forth between a 4 and 5 star, but considering I have bought 3 of these Ankers, I decided to go with 5 stars. These Ankers work like a charm. Both the input and output sound is great quality, even from across the room. I use these with my virtual assistant. We have gone through a few microphone options and this one has been superior by far. The reason why I keep buying them is because they work so well.My only issue with the Ankers is they are super hard to set up. They will work when initially plugged in, but with subsequent uses there seem to be issues with the computer and also the computer programs being able to recognize it. I’ve had to have IT support help me set up all three Ankers I’ve purchased, which includes disabling any other sort of microphone connected to the computer and some other IT magic.

    Great conference speaker for home or office
    This review address some pros and cons. I previously had a Jabra 510 speaker and upgraded to the S500. Reason for the purchase was the Jabra, after years of service, started to have some battery issues.Pros: ease to connect (wired or BT), great audio quality, multi-mic array, long battery life. Whether using the S500 at home or in the office conference room, I have had no issues with sound quality from the speaker or people saying that they can’t hear people in the room. I don’t have 2 of the S500 so I can’t report on the linking feature. The Anker app is ok.Cons: the S500 has a couple of quirks. Some of these may be out of Anker’s control but it is what it is.First issue I don’t like is that if you are wired to your laptop and then connect your phone via BT, if the laptop plays any sound it cuts off the phone audio. I enjoy listening to the news while checking email. With the Jabra, BT always overrode wired. I could listen to the news without interruption. With the S500, the news plays and then shuts down / pauses the phone. I got tired of having to restart my phone app for the news multiple times. I finally had to unplug the S500 from the laptop to listen to the news without breaks.Second issue I have is that the LED display doesn’t have an option to shut off or sleep until the buttons are pushed. The lights are on when it is operational. It has a blue and red bar light that illuminates when a sound plays or if you mute. Anker app has an option to turn the status bar off but it doesn’t always work. App shows status bar is off but it is still lighting up.The third issue I had was using the dongle to connect to the laptop. It worked but there was some interference issues with my Logitech K+M dongle. On my laptop, the only 2 USB-A ports are right next to each other. When both dongles are active, there is a minor issue of feedback. Not sure if it is the Anker or the Logitech dongle but the laptop is getting a signal much like the mouse is moving slightly. The laptop won’t automatically lock itself due to no activity because it is always getting an intermittent signal. Great if you always want to Teams to show you as available but it also messes with the accuracy of the mouse. Needless to say, I now only use the S500 as wired.Despite these quirks, I have worked around them and do overall enjoy the S500. I also considered the Plantronics Sync 40. Similar cost and features but I liked the overall size and format of the S500.

    Excellent mic for hybrid work meetings
    Purchased for work, works great, easy plug & play, allows colleagues on Zoom/Teams to hear everyone in the conference room speaking. Comes with everything you need plus a handy durable box that we keep the unit in with all the peripheral supplies for when a colleague checks it out of my office. Comes with nice zipper carry hard-shell protective shell. Anker is a great brand. Well made.

    Beats the JABRA 510 MS speaker
    Everyone thinks I am on my headset and not on a speaker phone. Crystal clear sound. Literally plug and play. Also tried the PowerConf S MS which was also great but the PowerConf S500 is awesome.

    El Anker S500 tiene un sonido impresionante. Se trabaja muy a gusto en las conferencias por Teams o Zoom y también para responder llamada del celular.Si quieres escuchar tu musica nomás conectas el celular vía Bluetooth y listo. El sonido es de primera.

    Overall very satisfied with this unit. I keep it connected to my computer uisng the USB-C cable at the same time It’s connected by bluetooth to my cell phone. Pairing easy, connects all the time. Sound is excellent when watching movies also. Highly recommend. Cannot comment on duration of the battery since I use it almost always connected to my computer, but I’ve used it for over two hours unconnected with no issues.

    Das Produkt hält, was es verspricht. Wir setzen es für Hybrid-Videokonferenzen mit bis zu 10 Personen in Präsenz ein. Die Sprachqualität ist hervorragend, die Akkulaufzeit reicht für mehrstündige Sitzungen.
