Whether you have a need for a great sounding call for yourself, or for a team, the Sync 60 is a great product to evaluate and consider. It’s chalked full of features, and it’s expandable which helps to make it unique among many of its rivals. LED’s Six-microphone array: Poly Sync 60 speakers are powerfully engineered to keep both noise and echo out. The Poly Sync 60 is designed for rooms having a dimension of up to 20 feet by 20 feet (6 meter by 6 meters). Expandability Starting with the Sync 20, Poly has introduced a line of elegant, great sounding and fully featured speakerphones. The latest in that evolution is the new Poly Sync 60, and like the models that have come before, the Sync 60 is a great looking and sounding speakerphone. As a footnote, when connecting the second unit, there is the need for an optional accessory; the Poly BT600 USB Dongle/Adapter. Something to be mindful of if the Sync 60 is on your radar, and you have interest in pairing two units together. Charging Ports

This gives you access to two ports where you can plug in your Smartphone or Tablet and get them charged up while using the Poly Sync 60. This is a very convenient feature you don’t typically see on Speaker Phones. Connectivity Poly Sync 40: PC via combined USB-A and USB-C cable; smartphone via Bluetooth. Poly Sync 40+: PC via combined USB-A and USB-C cable or wirelessly via included BT600 Bluetooth adapter; smartphone via Bluetooth The second unit connects to the main unit via Bluetooth. The process is simple, and literally takes no time at all to get it up and running. Having two units working in tandem gives you more available microphones and two loudspeakers. With more and more people finding their way on to conference calls, which can be audio or video, the need for good quality AV equipment is more important today than ever. We’re spending more time on Zoom calls, Microsoft Teams calls, RingCentral calls, Google Meet and the list goes on.

However, beyond shifting the device from room to room to accommodate a flatmate or family member, it’s difficult to imagine a scenario in which portability will prove all that useful. Owners are unlikely to take the Sync 20 to an office or coffee shop, where it would be impolite to play meeting audio out loud, and much more likely to keep it on their desk at home Features Poly Sync 20: PC via USB, smartphone via Bluetooth. Poly Sync 20+: PC via USB or included BT600 Bluetooth adapter, smartphone via Bluetooth USB . You can plug in the Sync 60 to the USB port on your computer using the included USB-A cable. There’s also a USB-A to C converter included. There’s a pair of LED’s that run the entire length of the Sync 60 for status notifications. For example, if you’re adjusting the volume, the LED status bar moves upwards or downwards to visually let you know where you are within the volume range.

Sound is really a very subjective matter. What sounds great to one person, may not sound so great to another. Still, I have to say that the Poly Sync 60 sounds great to me. The quality of the speaker gave me a lot of satisfaction when hearing high or deep tones. Wirelessly connect two Poly Sync 60 units together for larger meetings rooms (when connecting to PC via USB cable or BT700 adapter, or when connecting to smartphone via Bluetooth) Bluetooth. The Sync 60 also allows you to connect wirelessly to your mobile devices with no wires required. Also, when using two Sync 60’s, the second unit is connected to the host unit via Bluetooth, so no wires to get in the way. To complicate matters further, Poly offers special Microsoft Teams versions of both the Sync 20 and Sync 20+, both with either USB-A or USB-C connectivity. This makes for a total of eight different SKUs. I also like the fact that the two LED’s help you to know your status. They’re so long that it makes it next to impossible to ignore them. Yet, they’re not so large as to be unsightly or going counter to the overall design and aesthetics of the product. They work perfectly as designed.

Special Environment

Having the wireless expansion capabilities can really come in handy if you’re organizing a meeting that includes a group. The Sync 60 will handle it with ease. Lastly, I’ll show you how to daisy chain two Poly Sync 60 speakerphones together to see how easy it is to get them connected, and how good it sounds when two units are paired together. Before I get started The audio and microphone quality are solid enough for video conferencing, but the Sync 20 doesn’t stand up particularly well if you want to play music. And while the smart aesthetic and small footprint allow the speakerphone to sit tidily on your desk, and there are a few handy features, performance quirks detract from the experience.

By viewing this video, you’ll be able to not only physically see the Sync 60, but you’ll be able to hear it live. You can then more easily determine if this is a good product for you and your needs. There’s no denying the Poly Sync 20 offers superior audio performance to most business laptops, which means owners will benefit from clearer and richer audio during video calls. Those that struggle with minor hearing impairments will also find the speakerphone is loud enough to make calls a little easier. Bluetooth modes: Poly Sync 60 gives access to shared and personal Bluetooth modes for group-wise or private meetings. Anyone that uses a Smartphone throughout the day understands the importance of keeping the battery charged. One nice feature found on the Poly Sync 60 is it comes with a pair of USB charging ports.USB video camera: Inbuilt USB video camera input ensures easy transition from audio to video calls and vice-versa. As a result, your conference mates will be heard loud and clear, while the far side incoming audio will sound even better than a stand alone Sync 60, which by itself sounds pretty awesome. One of the features that I really like on the Sync 60 is its ability to wirelessly connect two Sync 60’s. This gives you the ability to accommodate a larger group of people while delivering an even better audio experience over just a single unit.
