The Jabra SPEAK 510 UC steps in and fill the audio gap left by these mobile devices and it does so beautifully. And while I am able to get by with the microphones and speakers built into my laptop, tablet and phone, the quality leaves something to desire. Email and other messaging system have cut into the number of calls I make but I still need a good quality phone connection numerous times each day. No, we have the ability to work anywhere, anytime and… we do. I, and likely you, are already part of the statistic since we no longer work from 9 to 5. Studies indicate that, by 2015, the “mobile worker population” in the United States will account for some 75% of the workforce. From there is was simply a process of letting the computer know I wanted to use the Jabra SPEAK 510 UC as my audio device. It is a free download but meant I had to stop what I was doing and deal with Skype first.
It is worth noting that before I could get everything to work I had to update the version of Skype for Mac. I loaded it and it set about integrating with Skype. It is a free download from their website although I did have to hunt for the Mac version of it.
WHEN'S THE NEXT SKYPE UPDATE FOR MAC SOFTWARE
Jabra offers Jabra PC Suite audio software for both the Mac and PC that can help manage calls and control the audio device.

The speaker is plug and play which means there are no drivers or additional software that needs to be loaded before you get down to business. You simply unwrap the USB cable, plug it into the computer and select the speaker as the audio device. That’s where the USB connection on the Jabra SPEAK 510 UC comes in handy. Best of all, it actually sounds quite good.īluetooth is great but, when using a speaker with a computer, having a wired connection can make setup and use simpler.
That is incredible and means you will have the ability to hold a conference call pretty much whenever and wherever you need to. I was blown away by the 15 hours of talk time the Jabra SPEAK 510 UC offers. And while this speaker is designed for serious work such as conference calls, it also had the ability to stream music from your Bluetooth-connected device.
WHEN'S THE NEXT SKYPE UPDATE FOR MAC BLUETOOTH
After that you simply pair the Jabra SPEAK 510 UC as you would any Bluetooth speaker. You then press and hold the spot with the Bluetooth indicator and wait for the voice to tell you the speaker is in pairing mode. To use it you simply press and hold the spot that indicates the power button and wait for the ring of lights to come on. Put another way, if you can use a Bluetooth headset, then you can use the Jabra SPEAK 510 UC. That really encompasses the use and functionality it offers. The best way to understand the Bluetooth functionality of the Jabra SPEAK 510 UC is to think of it as a huge Bluetooth headset that could only fit in the ear of a giant. Bluetooth 3.0 is also baked into the speaker which means you can leave the USB cable tucked away at the bottom of the speaker itself. The speaker has a built-in battery that is charged whenever the USB cable is plugged in.
Outward appearance would suggest this is only USB speaker. Add in the fact that turning it on and setting it up is a breeze and this is a great addition to a mobile-worker’s go-bag. The inclusion of a protective case rounds out an otherwise simple speaker that can be thrown in a bag and taken anywhere for use whenever it is needed. What you cannot see when the Jabra SPEAK 510 UC is off are the various indicator lights running around the unit at the edge of the speaker grill.
