I am looking for a speaker to use with my iPhone for business conference calls, when a land line is not available. Would the A26 be a good choice?

If you are not looking for music quality sound you can buy a cheaper device at costco($30). The A26 is much more than you need. But it will work fine.

It depends on the size of your group. I think it would work great for a small group of 5, but not in a large conference room with people far away from the speaker.

I sorry I have not used that speaker in a conference call, should work, it fine with one on one calls.

Speakerphone function is good on this unit but not great. I would recommend the JBL Flip 2. Tested this unit and the speakerphone function is tops. Battery life is 3-4 hours on the Flip 2. Again not bad on the TDK, there are just units that have a better speakerphone performance. Good hunting!

It will work as long as you are close to it. The sound quality is fantastic but the microphone isn't that great. So you need to be within a few feet if the speaker for your audience to hear you.

Not sure how good the a33 was but the a26 went back. It sounded awful. Much to thin for my enjoyment. I had the q35 as well and returned it as it was too boomy (over emphasized bass). I picked up the UE Boom and am very happy. It has 15 hours battery life vs. the 6 from TDK. I got the Boom 20%off at a local wireless carrier store. I highly recommend not buying the a26. It's cheaper but the sound is pretty bad when compared to similar devices like the jawbone mini.

apparently this unit is only compatible with Google Play and not the Apple store... Hard to believe but true.. personally with the type of high quality bluetooth speakers available today I would be looking that route since you have iPhone.

My wife bought me the Braven 600. Overall, I have been very happy with it and it does work great as a speaker phone and a music speaker. Very reliable.

I had an AT&T; phone before and it was bad. The speaker option on this phone is much better. It is not really loud like on a desk phone, but for a handset it is not bad. I think there is a an option to do speaker on the base phone, but I have not used it yet and I am not sure how good it is.

You can if you purchase a daisy chain box. You can't directly from the phone. To be sure it does what you want, please contact the vendor. They are awesome. We purchased 2 of these for our large conference room and we do not have to use external speakers. That works for us. Not necessarily for you.

I find the speaker phone is OK as long as you don't set the volume at maximum. If you do, it distorts sound. I have not used the conference phone function.

Thanks for the reply Jon.Can anyone let me know which bluetooth headsets are compatible with Apple iPhone?Thanks.

I haven't tried to use the speaker as a speaker phone, so I'm not sure. You'd probably be able to hear your caller through the speaker, but that's about it. It doesn't have a microphone port (at least I haven't seen one), so I doubt you'll be able to have a two way conversation using the speaker. I'll have to check to make sure though, I'll update you if I find out more. Thanks for your question.

Panasonic has worked out well for me. Pretty good speaker phone. Listener's never complain when I use it. I would purchase it again. Panasonic electronics are always reliable.

Yes, I used mine for about a year successfully as a speakerphone, then suddenly nearly everyone I spoke with couldn't hear me clearly anymore. Works okay initially, but not reliable for me.

I have not heard se535 or se846 with an iPhone6. Anandtech's review of the iPhone6 audio section (http://www.anandtech.com/show/8554/the-iphone-6-review/11) says that the phone doesn't handle a heavy load very well at high volumes (clipping makes for a distorted sound), so the se846 at only 9 Ohms may not sound as good with the volume set high as the se535 at 31 Ohms, but then you'd be in danger of damaging your hearing if you cranked the volume into either of them. If you're using the phone only, the se535 will do a decent job at a lower price. Again, the best way to decide would be to try both models with your iPhone6.

go to their website at imaingo.com/support/ and look at the compatibility specs. **I would strongly warn against going with this product due to the poor customer service however. They advised me to send mine in, which I did and then no one will reply to an email or voicemail and worst of all they have my product. I recommend looking at Braven portable speakers which I have recently discovered. They are a little more expensive but take enormous amounts of abuse and are bluetooth and thus wireless. The sound quality is also superb. Good luck.

It did not work well for me. I am a PM in the IT industry and do a lot of conference calls. The outgoing audio was terrible so I just use my cell phone or desk phone.

I usually use bluetooth but have used it as handheld as well as speakerphone without any problems that I know of.

If you have an iPhone or smart phone, you should be able to stream line it thru your bt. This is from my daughter who is much younger and smarter about these things than I. I love the M20 as it has a funnel ear piece rather than button

My wife loves her Bravern and uses it all the time with all of her iDevices. She often uses the speaker phone function with her iPhone and says it works just fine.
