Choosing between the Logitech Rally Bar and the Poly Studio X72? Here's how they differ on room size, platforms, camera, audio and price, and which one fits your room.
Short answer: pick the Logitech Rally Bar if you want the one that costs $2,019 less and comes with a longer standard warranty (2 years vs 1). Pick the Poly Studio X72 if you want the one that has the wider field of view (120° vs 82° horizontal), better when people sit close to the screen.
Both are Teams, Zoom and Google Meet certified appliance+USB video bars for medium to large rooms; the difference is camera and audio.
