Best work from home bluetooth speaker?

they are a pain in the arse TBH. i ditched 2 different bluetooth speakers after Microsoft Teams would screw up audio handling and either mute the audio or my microphone. the whole point was not having to be on meetings using my tiny laptop speaker off to the side.

i finally broke down & got a cheap soundbar that plugs into USB and the problems pretty much went away.

so in short, i would HIGHLY recommend if you get a bluetooth speaker to dedicate it to playing music from your phone and not try to also integrate it into your PC/work environment as well.

i have a sonos in my office so it doesn't get caught up in all the nonsense but if I didn't have that i would have a BT speaker hooked up to my phone only and stick with USB hard-wired for my work audio.

Well shite. I was hoping for better news than that. Tired of fumbling around with my phone every time I get a teams call.

your experience may be different than mine but i think you'll be happier keeping your music on a separate speaker than your teams calls.

teams sux, btw. it is the WORST at managing audio & video devices.

PolyCom makes a Bluetooth speaker ($100?) that sounds really good (I like it better than the Anker which is good as well).
