Maxhub BM21 Bluetooth Conference Speakerphone Review

maxhub speakerphone review

The remote working module picked up its pace within the last two years. The work-from-home culture was adopted due to the deadly COVID 19 pandemic situation. This also led to a sudden rise in demand for technology products that make online conferencing easier for the industries. The tech brands even brought in dedicated online conferencing tools, while others enhanced their existing platforms to enhance the video and audio conference experience. Maxhub is one of those brands which is catering to a wide range of audiences with its technologically advanced products.

One of the most useful products by Maxhub for organizations that are frequent with online conferencing is the BM21 Bluetooth Speakerphone. This compact tabletop speaker is an all-in-one solution for audio/video conferencing. The wireless portable speaker integrates 6-Element Microphone Array and high-dynamic speakers for clear audio in a large meeting room.

The Maxhub BM21 Bluetooth speakerphone is priced at around Rs. 29,999 in India. But how good is this speakerphone for daily conferencing? Will it be replacing traditional speakers used for online conferencing or meetings? Is this product worth an investment? We have used the Maxhub BM21 Bluetooth speaker for a while and in this article, we are giving feedback on whether it’s a necessary product for online conferencing or it can be skipped. Read on to Know:\

Pros And Cons

Pros

  • A Dedicated Six-microphone array improves the audio conference experience
  • Support for both wireless and wired connecticity
  • Decent battery backup

Cons

  • Slightly hefty
  • Music listening experience not as good as conference

Maxhub BM21 Bluetooth Speakerphone Design: Compact And Practical

The Maxhub BM21 features a circular tabletop design. The speakerphone is compact in size and can be placed on any desktop or conference table. It doesn’t take up much space and isn’t bulky either. This is one welcome design approach that the Maxhub BM21 Bluetooth speakerphone brings to the table. It features a metallic design with minimal plastic use.

However, it is bulky compared to similar-sized counterparts. The speakerphone has a bunch of physical keys that help with audio control and also pair with supported devices. Speaking of the set of keys, the speakerphone has the volume down key on the top left followed by the Bluetooth pairing, mic off/mute, call, and the volume key. All the keys are LED enabled and they glow up as soon as you power up the speakerphone. Overall, the Maxhub BM21 speakerphone has an apt design for small to medium-sized meeting rooms.

Maxhub BM21 Bluetooth Speakerphone: Features And Audio Performance

What makes the Maxhub BM21 useful for conference calls is the six-microphone array that allows 360-degree audio pickup, high-range dynamic speakers, and hardware-level Zoom certification. The speakerphone has dual sound modes, i.e, music, and call. The speakerphone has independent sound pickup technology and a dual audio amplification system that helps with better audio reception.

The speakerphone does a good job with audio amplification during any meeting. You get to hear the caller’s audio clearly. Increasing the volume level helps if it’s a large conference table or a meeting room. The speaker supports high-fidelity sound transmission that allows for refined audio transmission of every member speaking in the meeting room. At no point, did we find the audio getting muffled even at higher levels. We have tested the speakerphone’s experience with Zoom, Skype, and Google Meet and had a good experience overall.

Maxhub BM21 Bluetooth Speakerphone: Connectivity and Battery Backup

The Maxhub BM21 Bluetooth speakerphone supports both wireless and wired connectivity. It has a 3.5mm headphone jack that lets you pair it with any laptop or computer. The battery capacity isn’t specified, but the company has claimed up to 8 hours of battery life on a single charge. During our testing we found the speakerphone to last around 5 to 6 hours. But you can always plug in the charger if the speakerphone is running out of fuel.

Samsung Galaxy M53 5G Renders Hints A Revamped Design; What Else We Know?

Samsung is ready to bring a new Galaxy M series phone to the audience. The Galaxy M53 5G is the upcoming mid-range phone which is ready to debut in the global markets likely in April. The handset has made appearances on several certification websites and also benchmark websites. A fresh report via Ytechbb reveals the M53 5G’s full design. How different is it from the previous gen-model? Read on to know:

Samsung Galaxy M53 5G Full Renders Out

The Samsung Galaxy M53 leaked renders show Samsung has revamped the design majorly compared to the previous model. This time, Samsung has opted for a square module unlike the vertical camera setup on the Galaxy M52. The back panel isn’t textured and rather has a single-tome paint job. Moreover, it seems to be a flat-edged frame that the Galaxy M53 5G adorns. No design change upfront.

The Galaxy M53 5G also has the same centrally-aligned punch-hole camera cutout and a narrow-bezel profile; much like the Galaxy M52 5G. The right panel has both volumes as well the power key. The side-mounted fingerprint scanner remains intact here as well. The new design language opted for by the company is definitely a welcome approach.

Thanks to the leaks and benchmark website listings, we are also aware of the Galaxy M53 key features. Samsung is making some changes in terms of the hardware compared to the Galaxy M52 5G. One of the major hardware differences would be the Galaxy M53 5G’s chipset.

While the previous-gen model, i.,e, the Galaxy M52 used a Snapdragon series chipset (Snapdragon 778G SoC), the Galaxy M53 5G will be packed with the MediaTek Dimensity 900 processor. Performance-wise, the Snapdragon 778G processor is slightly more powerful compared to the Dimensity 900 SoC. It would be interesting to see if Samsung keeps the pricing of the new model on the lower side by using a slightly downgraded chipset compared to the last variant.
