I got this for cheap a while back and am not really a fan. Audio quality wasn't as good as I had hoped, neither was the mic quality, had some issues with people hearing me on calls, they'd say my audio was super low and no amount of fiddling seemed to fix it. I'd usually just disconnect it and use the laptop mic.
I have this but I don't recommend, it does not work intermittently. Audio disconnects during calls, switched to regular doc and using external mic. This is good as a speaker and as a low power dock.

I have this. I was hoping to find a reliable usb-c dock that supported two monitors (HDMI and usb-c adapter) without having to disconnect/reconnect the cables to get a signal. This dock couldn't do that so it's mostly useless for me. The audio quality is better than laptop speakers, but that's it.
I have this one and love it. I have three at home and also got several coworkers to get them. Work wells with team and the speakers on it is much better than the laptop. Have not had any complaint about my voice. Also, work well with Chrome Book.
If you have a dock already and just need a speakerphone, the portable Microsoft usb c one works great. Plus the mute button works on teams and zoom. Really on the whole windows os. Microsoft Modern USB-C Speaker,... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B094YYY9CHIt's 69 before tax.

I'm eager to see what you have in mind, but the link is broken. Which are you referring to?

Do all the functions work with your chromebook?
I found that when I tried with chromebook it was hit-or-miss and the mute key was super problematic
(You have to push it twice to register, then keep pushing to cycle through the options. On a call that's enough to make things super awkward and enough for me to want to toss this out the window)

seems like this product it has gotten mixed comments in this thread.
What is the current product like this that you currently use and Love/Like and maybe give a link to that product.

I dont use it extensively with the chrombook. I just know that it works with i plug it in. I dont use any of the buttons as the position of the hub is further back, and I would only use the on-screen mute and un mute for team call.

I have the same problems. Do not recommend. Extremely unreliable.

This product is just a bad idea. I spend my days with instruments that are designed for one purpose, and they do it perfectly. A scalpel cuts. A forcep grips. There is no ambiguity. This dock is the opposite. It's a clumsy, dull instrument trying to be everything at once. The buttons have no feel, no satisfying click. You hit mute in the middle of a critical consultation—did it work? You're fumbling, looking at a tiny light instead of focusing on the task. It's bad ergonomics. A surgeon can't work with sloppy tools, and this is the sloppiest. It's a design tumor. The equation for this kind of corporate thinking is simple: (Marketing Hype+Feature Bloat)−Common Sense=Useless Junk
They've stitched a speaker to a USB port and called it innovation. It's malpractice. It's stupid engineering because it doesn't understand humanity. It tries to solve a problem of clutter by adding more complexity, another link in the chain that ties you to the meaningless grind. It's a product for middle managers who think productivity is something you can buy in a box. They sold this thing as an elegant solution. One cord, one brick, a clean desk. But they baked the poison right into the cake.
Look, any audio guy, any real engineer, not the marketing kids with sharp haircuts, will tell you the first rule: keep your power separate from your signal. Power is dirty. Especially the kind of power these things use. This contraption is powered by a 90-watt adapter, the kind of cheap, mass-produced switch-mode power supply (SMPS) they crank out by the million.
And here's the rotten core of it: that power supply doesn't deliver a smooth, clean stream of electricity. It works by chopping the current up at an insane frequency, thousands of times a second. It's a violent, noisy process. It's electrically loud. They didn't just design a product. They designed a self-contained problem. A perfect, black, plastic monument to the stupidity of putting the engine's roar right in the passenger's ear. It's junk because it was engineered to fail quietly, in a way most people can't name but can feel. It's an irritation machine.
Now, if you'll excuse me, this glass is empty. The world is full of these stupidities, and a man needs a drink to face them.
Weird how mixed reviews are for this. I have been using it in my wfh station for a while now- just as a speaker/mic for virtual meetings. I've never had any complaints from stakeholders and I'm constantly on calls via this little device. I was actually thinking of getting my wife one, too, seeing this sale
why do we need this to "keep your pc fully charged"? are they talking about a ups? even so. why do i need to charge my pc?
