Portable Skypephone

A: The best Skypephones are portable, but they should also be easy to use and have great audio quality.

The Auzentech VR-Fidelity USB Speakerphone is a great example: attractive, small and round with a speaker suspended in the center. The VR-Fidelity is easy to take everywhere and USB ready for compatibility. However, this portable Skypephone adds some unexpected twists.

Portability: The VR-Fidelity includes a powered speaker, a volume dial on one side, auxiliary-out and headphone jacks, and a mute button on top. About the size and shape of a doughnut, this portable Skypephone should easily fit into the inner pocket of your laptop bag.

Easy of Use: When you want to use the VR-Fidelity portable Skypephone, plug it into the USB port and the computer will select it as your default audio card. Unplug it and the internal audio card will take over.

Speakerphone: The VR-Fidelity portable Skypephone has a microphone that picks up sound in all directions up to a range of nine feet. This frees you to pace the room or just retrieve books and papers when you need them. It also allows multiple participants in the same conversation. Echo cancellation stoops the other caller's voice from echoing back at them. Full-duplex mode allows you both to talk simultaneously.

Audio Quality: Auzentech's focus on great audio has had a discernible affect on the VR-Fidelity design. The speaker inside the VR-Fidelity portable Skypephone is free-floating, reminiscent of the finest hi fii speakers.

If your desktop computer sound is uninspiring, plug the your external speakers into the VR-Fidelity auxiliary out jack. You will have an external soundcard undisturbed by the electronic noise within the computer. If you already have one of Auzentech's high-end surround-sound cards, select the VR-Fidelity only for your Skype calls and let the built-in soundcard handle the rest.
