ClearOne Chat 50

The ClearOne Chat 50 is a great USB-connected personal speakerphone with very good audio quality for Skype or any other telephony app, as well as your cell phone. In a pinch, it can even function as a passable speaker for your MP3 player.

Versatile speakerphone, fantastic sound quality, true full-duplex

Costly

Simple SpeakerPhone

Wonderfully simple conference / speaker phone. Purchased to improve quality of VOIP (Skype) phone service. Called parties report dramatic reduction in peripehral noise, when compared to built in microphone.
