Choosing between the AVer FONE540 and the AVer FONE700? Here's how they differ on room size, platforms, audio and price, and which one fits your room.
Short answer: pick the FONE540 if you want the one that costs $1,470 less and is sized for smaller rooms, so you don't pay for range you won't use. Pick the FONE700 if you want the one that covers bigger rooms (up to boardrooms) and comes with a longer standard warranty (3 years vs 2).
Both are Teams, Zoom and Google Meet certified USB speakerphones; the difference is audio and price.
