User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Small-medium room use
The use of the product was for a medium sized room. I did not set it up, I was the remote user. I think if it was more centrally located in the meeting room it would have had better results. The attendees speaking up would have also helped. But, it did its job with no problems.

4 Stars Experience on using the Voicestation 300
The Voicestation 300 is a good option for enabling conference on small-to-medium meeting rooms. The sound is crisp, as it is for all polystation products, operation is simple, and the price-benefit relation is very good.

We are using a couple of these units for more than 6 months, with a great level of satisfaction.

1 Star VoiceStation 300–A Dud
I purchased a VoiceStation 300 for my home office in order to do business conference calls, and had to return it no more than 10 days later. People on the other end couldn’t hear me unless I was inches away from the speakers, and my voice was constantly breaking up because the unit was picking up ambient noise from the heating system in the room. I was very disappointed in the performance of this product.

2 Stars Tinny microphone
While the full duplexing allows for conversations where both parties can speak at once, the microphone on this isn’t very good. It makes the speaker’s voice sound tinny and grating. The speaker is very good, though.

2 Stars Great speaker…. terrible Microphone
I’ve used the Polycom 300 for about 6 months now and my experience has been very mixed. The sound from the speaker is great. However, everyone I speak to with this phone complains that my voice sounds like I’m talking from inside a sea-shell or a tin can.

They have trouble hearing me and I find that I have to hold my head about 10 inches from the mic in order to be heard clearly. People hate talking to me when I’m on this phone.

Unlike the digital polycom units, this one doesn’t have external microphone inputs… so there’s really no way to remediate the poor sound with a better microphone.

It is what it is.

My recommendation would be to consider other products before this one – or at the very least, wait for the price to go way down.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Excellent speakerphone for basic use
Not much to say here – this speakerphone has been excellent for my basic home office speakerphone use.

5 Stars Great for small office use.
We typically have 5-6 users around a small conference table and have just had excellent results with this phone. The audio is very clear with no feedback, static, or breaks in transmission, and we are told that all users on this end can be heard very well no matter where they are positioned at the table, or even if the speaker is wandering around the room.

My only complaint is that its non-expandable, but I knew that before we bought it so I cant really complain. If you’re on a budget, and have a smaller conference space around 10′x12′ then this is a good choice. Polycom’s technology is top notch, the phone looks good on the table, and the price is right. 5 staples
