j5createUSB-C 4K Speakerphone Dock, All-in-one Audio Dock for Video Conference, 4K HDMI, USB-A x 2, USB-C, Gigabit ethernet, Pass-Through Charging - Works with Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet (JCDS335)

This j5create speakerphone dock combines useful features for video conferencing. The 4K HDMI and USB ports handle peripherals well, and the speakerphone quality is clear for calls. It works seamlessly with platforms like Teams and Zoom. The pass-through charging is efficient, though the dock feels slightly bulky so may be best suited for a larger table. A good choice for remote workers.

So firstly will say I'm not a techy person doesnt matter what I tried I couldn't get this to work properly. Instructions were useless.I had to get a friend to help turns out my laptop was too old and wasn't compatible. My friend gor this up and running g with his laptop. Good for a work environment zoom calls/meetings mics work and everyone could hear me talking. Speaker was very clear no crackling loads better than the speakers on the laptop felt like they were in the room talking.It can be used as a Bluetooth speaker so atleast has a multi use.Don't think it's something I would end up using regular mostly because I don't own compatible equipment t so passed it onto my friend to keep for his work calls as he works from home and he's using it alot.

This is a multipurpose dock / speakerphone / speaker.The dock looks very stylish and professional. It has a huge upward facing speaker grill that is loud enough for voice but also good enough for listening to music as opposed to laptop speakers. The amount of bass that this introduces is really amazing! Almost like having proper speakers for once.I havent really used the actual speaker phone part of it other than to test it out. And cant find anything to complain about it. It conveys the sound well and rejects feedback looks (i.e. it ensures that the speaker output doesn’t get captured by the mic again). Also the controls on the front of the dock make it very easy to control during a phone call. Though keep in mind that it wont change the actual settings in zoom, only on the device itself. That means you either have to leave zoom always unmuted, or remember to unmute on both devices.Overall this is a great device if you need a USB Dock, a speaker phone and speaker. Cause this is the perfect combo of those 3 devices.Listed Price when I reviewed it: £127.99(Disclaimer: I received this for free as part of the Amazon Vine program, but the views here are based on my own experiences and not edited or influenced by anyone)

First of all, it has a very stylish and beautiful design. It is very suitable for use as both a decoration and a dock. It has multiple connection points.It is an ideal device especially for those who work in a home office or who participate in the same meeting with more than one person. It distributes the sound from the speakers very well and can receive sounds from the microphone in very high quality.It can transfer connections to the screen with 4k HDMI support. It has 1 HDMI input, so you need to connect from the computer or phone with other inputs. Since it has many features, I can say that it is a good dock for its price.

This speakerphone dock is easy to use and perfect for any video conference. It is easy to use too, which is half the battle sometimes, so I'm very happy with it.

If you're just considering this for a mobile phone, it's probably not the wisest choice - it's definitely geared more to having a laptop connected for the hub connectivity than anything else, so I'll state that off the bat.Secondly, you'd need a laptop that can output display via USB-C - so oldish laptops are probably not able to be used that way (I can't definitely say it, I don't have an old laptop - mine are 2 years old max).In terms of setting up - it's pretty simple - either power via USB (if you're just using it for speakerphone) and plug into a USB-C on your laptop/PC (cable included for the host). After that you can plug it into a network, a monitor on top and have a couple of USB ports on top - either way it needs power but given what it implied in the limited manual, it powers the laptop too (it says up to 100w) - so that is useful.Sorry to sound vague there but the manual doesn't implicitly state that it delivers power - and by manual, it's a leaflet with multiple languages that would barely fit an A5 page if you just had one language on it.However, once you're connected, you have the ability to have your conference calls easily (think Zoom etc) - the unit has 4 mic's (2 on the left and right side) and the speaker itself is on par with the Echo (the spherical one). Controls work albeit feel a tad sluggish in use - I like it to work immediately not feel there's a 1 second delay. But otherwise it works. Speaker quality is better than the average laptop and no-one struggled hearing me via the mics. It's compact with a decent amount of functionality (charger, speaker, mic, hub, LAN etc) but would probably appeal more for office than home work - although SOHO use is more common nowadays this certainly would be useful in that scenario.Good device, with caveats, but the manual is pretty woeful if you really struggle with tech.

Was disappointed to see that the mute button didn't integrate and mute teams itself, instead it seems to mute the device. This means I can't mute from the device and unmute from Teams and vice versa. The others, non speaker functions, seemed to work without issue but sadly the key one was the integration of the hardware directly with Teams.

The J5create USB-C speakerphone Dock feels like it is made from premium materials.In addition to being a decent PD hub (ports at the back), it doubles as a powered speaker phone, for which the sound quality is good.Set up was pretty much plug and play
