Polycom Communicator C100S Review - George Ou

George Ou reviews the Polycom Communicator C100S, and felt that, while the installation went well, with the drivers automatically detected and installed by Windows XP SP2, the autostaller shouldn’t really require a reboot after installation, since the only Windows startup modification was the addition of the Polycom Communicator software.

Performance-wise, he found the Communicator’s sound to be much better quality than using a regular microphone and speaker with Skype, with no annoying echoes. His conclusion overall? “The bottom line is if you’re a Skype user at work, home, or on the road, this is the Skype companion to have. The list price of $129 might seem a bit high to some but considering the fact that it sounds as good or even better than conferencing phones costing several hundred dollars, it’s worth the money. … If you really want to enjoy a hands free or headset free Skype experience, the Polycom Communicator C100S is the PC Telephony accessory of the year.”
