When determining the best speakerphone we examined how each model reduces background noise, improves call quality, what connectivity options it has and more. Many models have a wired USB connection to plug into a PC or Mac and many also have Bluetooth connection. Some have a UC (Universal Communication) that will better connect to a PC wirelessly.
