Saw my coworker using this during a work meeting. Very useful when you need to dial into a video call on your laptop with a few people around you.

These are great for yourself when you need a better mic/speaker than your laptop.
These will mute your app on the laptop when you mute the device. Very helpful in reducing confusion when the computer can mute, the app can mute, and the device can mute. Same with speakers.

I paid $120 for my puck that had a 3.5mm cord. This is a steal for those that can use it.

The Poly Sync 20 is the new hottness for $129.

Amazon reviews say it did not come with the BT600 USB adapter for wireless; that thing is $80 on Amazon. There is no mention of that being included here or performance suffering without it (which apparently is an issue).

It does state way down in the listing where the speaker is pictured and labeled 1-6. That the BT600 is included.

It said that on Amazon, too. It wasn't. Carelessly copied and pasted boilerplate.

Read carefully: "BT600 adapter included with Calisto 5300, Microsoft and Calisto 5300 Microsoft, BT600 versions." This version is not either of those.

"Question: Doesn't come with the usb adapter described in the included paperwork? where can i get the adapter?
Answer: Hi, the Calisto 5300/BT600 is the only one that comes with the adapter, regular versions do not. You can get it here or online at our poly site by searching for "Poly BT600".

That package is $150+.

Does this require any software installation? Asking this because I don't have admin privileges on the intended pc.

Good catch! I didn't even consider the very specific language used.

Wondering how this compares to the Tribute XSound Go that people picked up for $20-$30 from Amazon/Walmart Slickdeals in the past year or so. I imagine the Tribit has more bass... Plantronics is a good brand though I think, and they have been producing a number of work related headset type items for a while. Maybe the microphone sounds better, too.

Thoughts?
