Great review, thank you for sharing. I have one of these speakers and thinking of getting one as a birthday gift for a friend. Realized I was not even using half of its features. Good review of the product, thanks.
I had a co-worker pick this up and I was amazed at how clear he was and how well it blocked out his mechanical keyboard typing. I ordered one yesterday and should get it next week.
The noise cancellation on this speakerphone is very impressive even if the noise is at close range. Love to hear your thoughts on it once you used it as well @E.C. BattleBorn
That's good to know that it blocks out the typing as the keyboard is going to be the closest thing to the speaker. I've just ordered it so thanks so much for the review.
I just received this speaker and I'm happy but am not blown away by it. Pros: It looks nice, fits perfect under the monitor, is angled nicely towards the user, is easy to set up, and the noise cancelling is indeed incredible. Negatives: a) The mic quality is average (compared to my Logitech Brio webcam and Huawei Buds Pro) sounding a bit muffled which some people might prefer because you don't get the sharp sibilance from my voice so it's maybe the thing that Dell were trying to achieve and b) the quality with music playback is pretty terrible so don't think this is going to pass for playing music. I actually changed the EQ to "voice" and it does a nice job of making voices clearer but obviously makes music even more terrible than it was in the default setting. Overall I'm happy as I got it for 40% off combining both a Dell discount and an company discount code. I'll probably still buy those dedicated music speakers though :)
Great to hear your experience @carleast. Completely agree and I have the same thoughts and experience, music sounding quality isn't its strong point (for me I used this daily as it sounds better than my Dell 34 inch monitors built-in speakers, yes I purchased the SP3022 after the review) and for recording mic quality isn't superb as I have recorded a few livestreams from it and feedback plus replaying the videos myself have confirm similar thoughts of a bit muffled but on a video conference this isn't too much of an issue as it has enough clarity to be understood in the other end. Again the noise cancelling is where this product shines which is quite a nice blessing in a lot of video conferencing so it's primary purpose is more than achieves.
Pleasure, the main purpose of this speakerphone it does very well @d3ricktt. I have also enjoy using it as a normal speaker too as its better than the built-in speakers on the Dell 34 inch monitor.
For sure @Patrick Lim, I was very surprised by how much it is able to single out the kids voices and cancel them out. Definitely an item to add to the shopping list for the parents home office who are WFH still.
wow i am really impressed with the noise cancelling. didn't like the sound output but it is not meant to be for listening music, i think. overall it is a good product for conferencing and work from home people. I am looking for a good alternative for a cheaper price, not able to find one yet, if it will be the case i'll buy one. thanks for the review mate.
Very welcome @Garkem Tunc, it is great for it's designed purpose. Listening music well it not super amazing, still better than the speakers from my Dell 34inch monitor which isn't hard to beat but still it's that noise cancelling that really shines.
Thanks, good to hear the review might be helpful in your search :). Lol I do have a favourite on which chip manufacturer but I try to be netural on both and I like competition :). There are clues in some of my live streams which path I have chosen.
I'm curious if you have tried the Poly Sync 20 speakerphone and if so, how does it compare with the Dell SP3022? I've not seen anyone do a head-to-head compare of these two models that both seem to be solid competitors in this space.
I'd love to hear what you have to say about this speaker. Unfortunately, I'm using the same one to listen to the audio, so it's so quiet that I can't hear it.
If you judging by the better audio quality capture and single person, the built in mic in the MBP M1 Pro is better still but as far as the noise cancellation the Dell SP3022 excels much better compare to the MBP M1 Pro. Speaker audio quality and acostics the MBP spakers still better than the SP3022, but the SP3022 is louder and has heavier bass.
Unfortunately there isn't any power or reset button, all you can do is unplug the speakerphone and I would suggest keep it unplugged for 1 minute or so for the power to be discharged fully before plugging back in if it isn't working.

Thank you for this review been waiting for it since last week. Planning to buy it for work.

Noise cancelling is great. Works great. Might have to add it to shopping list as school holidays can be noisy when wfh.

Perfect review. Looking for bunch of these for work. Also like AMD gear in the background. Big fan !!!

@@BsianTech Sir, I must say this review was essential to me. LOL And yes, competition !!!

where is the noise cancelling button. Would be nice to see you switch off on
Great review thanks! Unfortunately it’s a pass, was focusing more on media playback than voice chat.
I'd love to hear what you have to say about this speaker. Unfortunately, I'm using the same one to listen to the audio, so it's so quiet that I can't hear it.
You need to plug it into USB3
With the new MacBook M1 pro - how does it compare for web conferencing by a single person.
If you judging by the better audio quality capture and single person, the built in mic in the MBP M1 Pro is better still but as far as the noise cancellation the Dell SP3022 excels much better compare to the MBP M1 Pro. Speaker audio quality and acostics the MBP spakers still better than the SP3022, but the SP3022 is louder and has heavier bass.
How do you turn it on and off?
Unfortunately there isn't any power or reset button, all you can do is unplug the speakerphone and I would suggest keep it unplugged for 1 minute or so for the power to be discharged fully before plugging back in if it isn't working.
Does it support xbox series X? so that I could use it to communicate with other players?
