Having searching the Internet, Trio from IPEVO seemed to be the best choice for my personal conferencing. The brand new device is more expensive than the Free-1 model (a plain, basic phone without hands-free mode) almost double. However, they guarantee proper sound quality of hands-free mode which compensates the high price.
I got it last night, and called to my brother who lives in Japan. His impression was:
“Stop yelling me in cave! What is matter with your new stuff?”
Its basic feature—telephone mode—provides great sound quality. But, its hands-free mode can offend your Skype friends. Please, don’t dare to hurt your relationship with 8Hz sampling sound quality which sounds bad.
*****
After additional tests with land line and cellular phones, I concluded the sound quality as below. Trio is a not-that-bad device with its price.
PC to PC on hand-held: Great sound qulaity
PC to PC on Hands-free: It could bother your caller; reasonable sounds time to time
PC to CP on Hand-held: Reasonable sounds like normal phone
PC to CP on Hands-free: Reasonable sounds like normal phone
(CP: celluar phone)
