The most competitive solutions offer users crystal clear audio anywhere from 60 to 300-plus meters, depending on the device. Don’t be shy about asking for a range demo before you buy.
Battery Life
Even the best bluetooth speaker mic wouldn’t be worth the investment if users spent more time charging than communicating. The longest lasting battery on the market boasts up to 28 hours of useful life and takes three hours to charge from 0%.
Desktop and vehicle chargers are available to accommodate use in the control room and on the go.
Ease of Use: Push-to-Talk and Pairing
The push-to-talk function should be sensitive enough for users wearing gloves to easily use but smart enough to avoid being accidentally activated.
Pairing the device with radios should also be an intuitive process that doesn’t take up too much valuable time. Some solutions also offer continuous pairing so users don’t have to remember to pair up before they step away from their radios.
Multiple Users Per Radio
Some devices offer the ability to pair up to nine users per radio, allowing a group to keep in touch with each other and/or monitor conversations.
